Using The Sampler Function - Zoom GFX-707 Operation Manual

Using the Sampler Function

The GFX-707 also incorporates a sampler that allows recording for up to 6 seconds. This can
be used not only to record guitar sounds but also for external sources such as a CD player.
The data are stored in the memory of the unit and can be played easily using the foot
switches. A recorded phrase can also be played at half the original speed without changing
the pitch. This is convenient for example to study how a fast guitar phrase played by a pro.
