Adjusting The Volume Level And Tonal Quality According To The Acoustic Environment - Zoom 2100 Operation Manual

Adjusting the volume level and tonal quality according to the acoustic environment

The 2100 features global parameters that enable you to adjust the master level and the degree of
distortion applied to all patches on a global scale. Use these parameters to adjust the volume level
and tonal quality to suit the characteristics of the instruments, amplifiers, and the acoustic
environment.
