ZNR/AMP
ZNR/AMP module basic parameters
Serves for making the ZNR module and AMP module settings.
ZNR is a noise reduction circuit developed by ZOOM,
allowing control over the noise threshold. The AMP module is
a bass guitar amp simulator that can be switched on or off.
ZNR
0 1
ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) serves for reducing noise during play pauses or
silent passages. Higher setting values result in more efficient noise reduction. Set
5 9
the value as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off unnaturally.
AMP (Amp Simulator)
A 1
The amp simulator adds the character of a bass guitar amplifier to the output signal.
When this setting is selected, the amp simulator is on and ZNR is off.
ZNR+AMP (ZNR + Amp Simulator)
A 2
ZNR and amp simulator are both on. Increasing the right- digit value results in
more efficient noise reduction. Set the value as high as possible without causing the
A 9
sound to be cut off unnaturally.
OFF (Off)
o F
ZNR and amp simulator are both off.
MOD
MOD module basic parameters
This effect module comprises modulation effects such as
chorus, flanger, and octaver. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select
the effect type and adjust the effect intensity.
CHORUS (Chorus)
This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted component to the original signal,
resulting in full-bodied and expansive sound. Higher setting values result in
a more pronounced chorus effect.

CONTROL IN jack, the chorus 1 intensity can be adjusted.
c 1
CHORUS 2 (Chorus 2)
This is a bright sounding chorus effect with depth and spread. Higher right-
c 9
digit setting values result in a more pronounced chorus effect.
PEDAL CHORUS 2 (Pedal Chorus 2)
c P
CONTROL IN jack, the chorus 2 intensity can be adjusted.
F 1
FLANGER (Flanger)
This effect produces a unique, undulating sound by shifting the pitch up
F 9
and down. Higher right-digit setting values result in faster modulation.
PEDAL FLANGER (Pedal Flanger)
F P
CONTROL IN jack, the flanger modulation rate can be adjusted. The
adjustable range is larger than available with F1 - F9.
STEP (Step)
S 1
This effect introduces a filter which changes randomly, resulting in an
auto-arpeggio sound. Higher right-digit setting values give faster step
S 9
sound change.
PEDAL STEP (Pedal Step)
S P
CONTROL IN jack, the step sound change rate can be adjusted.
CRY1 (Cry 1)
r 1
This effect changes the sound in a similar way as a talking simulator.
Higher right-digit setting values result in more pronounced sound change.
r 5
r 6 CRY2 (Cry 2)
This is a cry effect with a different sound character. Higher right-digit
r 9
setting values result in more pronounced sound change.
PEDAL CRY (Pedal Cry)
r P
TIME
CONTROL IN jack, the cry type sound change can be adjusted.
DEFRET (Defret)
d 1
This effect makes the sound of a fretted bass resemble that of a fretless
bass. It is especially suitable for playing single notes. Higher right-digit
d 9
TIME
setting values result in a more pronounced defret effect.
