What Are Banks and Patches?
3
• PATCH
A group of the settings for a certain effect type is called a PATCH. The 507 comes with 24 preset
patches which can be changed (edited) by the user.
• BANK
The 507 calls up patches in sets of four, called a "bank".

The 507's patches are composed of two effect modules (virtual boxes for making effect settings
easy to understand). These modules contain effect parameters, elements that decide the tones of
the effects. Patches are the parameters set according to taste in the effect modules.

Front Panel
TUNER indicator
In the 507, this indicator shows that the tuner is active, and it serves as a
gauge for fine tuning your instrument.
• BATTERY EMPTY WARNING display
When the unit is powered from the battery, this indicator begins flashing
to warn that the battery is running low.
STORE key
When the contents of patches are to be stored, this key is used for putting
the unit in store standby status and to execute the store function.
• Setting of direct load function
When the STORE key is pressed for at least 1 second during Play mode
(during performance), the direct load function can be switched on or off.
[For details, see 10 Patch Switching (Application: Direct Load OFF).]
EDIT key (for creating your own patches)
This key serves to toggle between the Play mode and Edit mode (mode
for creating patches to suit your taste).
In Edit mode, this key can be used to select the effect parameters you
wish to change. Also, when the effect parameter CHORUS is selected,
press this EDIT key to return from the Edit mode to the Play mode.
• Setting of bank hold function
When the EDIT key is held down for at least 1 second in Play mode, the
bank hold function is turned on or off. [For details, see 9 Patch Switching
(Application: Bank Hold ON).]
Rear Panel
INPUT jack
Serves for connecting the guitar.
When the unit is powered by the battery, this jack also functions as the
power on/off switch. The 507 is powered on by plugging a shielded cable
into this jack. When the unit is not in use, the cable should be
disconnected to prevent battery drain.
DC IN (AC adapter) jack
Serves for connecting an AC adapter (Zoom AD-0006) which delivers 9
VDC, 300 mA with a "center minus" plug configuration. The 507 is
powered on by plugging an AC adapter into this jack.
CONTROL IN jack
When the optional FP01 expression pedal and FS01 foot switch are
connected to this jack it can serve as the external control jack.
When the optional expression pedal FP01 is connected, it can serve for
controlling the mix level of the effect.
When the optional foot switch FS01 is connected, chorus can be switched
on or off externally.

• REVERB/DLY+REV module
This is the module that can be used either as various types of REVERB or DLY+REV,
depending on the parameter setting.
• CHORUS module
This is an effect module that gives the notes a round, expansive feeling. This can be connected
before or after the REVERB/DLY+REV module by setting the parameter accordingly.
When connected after the REVERB/DLY+REV module, the chorus sound is emphasized and a
flanger effect can also be obtained.

• Bypass/Tuner mode
Shows the pitch of the input signal.
PARAMETER CURSOR indicator
• Play mode
The currently used effect module lights.
• Edit mode
The indicator lights up for the currently used effect module, and the
indicator flashes for the effect module that is turned off. Also, the
indicator for the effect module selected for editing flashes.
• Bypass/Tuner mode
Indicators function as tuning meter.
VALUE +/- keys
• Play mode
The keys serve for bank switching.
• Edit mode
The keys serve for changing the effect parameter.
• Bypass/Tuner mode
The keys serve for setting the tuner reference pitch (calibration).
PATCH UP (right)/DOWN (left) pedals
• Play mode
The pedals serve for patch switching. Pressing both pedals
simultaneously activates the Bypass/Tuner mode.
• Edit mode
The pedals serve for selecting effect parameters. Pressing both pedals
simultaneously turns the currently selected effect module on or off.
• Bypass/Tuner mode
Pressing either pedal cancels the Bypass/Tuner mode to return to Play

OUTPUT jack
This jack is for the output signal from the 507. You can connect either a
single guitar amplifier, using a monaural shielded cable, or two guitar
amplifiers, using a Y-type stereo shielded cable, or a pair of stereo
headphones. If the volume level is low when using headphones, use
headphones with low impedance (32 ohms or less).
