User manual ZOOM 2020

[. . . ] Thank you for selecting the advanced guitar effects processor ZOOM Player 2020 (hereafter called "2020"). The 2020 is a sophisticated multi-effect device with the following features and functions: · A total of 19 built-in individual effects, which can be combined in patches of up to six effects of five types. 20 preset patches and a user memory for 20 additional patches offer extraordinary flexibility. · Integrated foot pedals and informative control panel show settings at a glance and allow easy operation like a compact effector. [. . . ] (For details on how to store settings, please refer to page 12. ) · While other parameters of patches from the preset group cannot be altered, the patch level can be changed and stored. This is useful for example to match levels when combining user patches with preset patches. 9 Editing a Patch (Use of the Edit Mode) What Is a Patch? Before you attempt to edit a patch, you should have a general idea how patches are created. In the 2020, a patch can contain the following effect modules: · COMP+DIST (Analog compressor and distortion effects) · EQ (Equalizer and wah effects) · MODULATION (modulation effects such as chorus and flanger) · DELAY (delay effects) · REVERB (reverberation effects) A combination of these effect modules, each with individual parameter settings plus the final patch level setting, is referred to as a "patch". In the Edit mode, you can call up the various parameters of an effect module and change these parameters according to your wishes and preferences. Entering the Edit mode · Select the desired patch in the Play mode (from the user group or the preset group) and press the EDIT/CANCEL key. · Pressing the EDIT/CANCEL key once more returns the 2020 to the Play mode.

(1) Effect module on/off The LEDs of pedals for effect modules which are on (pedals 1 - 4 and BANK pedal) are lit. Editing a Patch · In the Edit mode, use the PARAMETER SELECT keys to select the desired parameter. The left/right PARAMETER SELECT keys control the module cursor LEDs and the up/down PARAMETER SELECT keys control the parameter cursor LEDs. The display indication changes accordingly. HINT The pedals 1 - 4 and the BANK pedal correspond to the following effect modules. Pedal 1 Pedal 2 Pedal 3 Pedal 3 BANK pedal COMP+DIST EQ MODULATION DELAY REVERB HINT The topmost row of parameter LEDs corresponds to the EFFECT parameter which changes the effect type. When the effect type is changed, the setting of parameters 1 - 5 also changes. Therefore it is best to first select the effect type and then work on the other parameters when creating an effect from scratch. (2) Parameter value The value of the parameter currently selected for editing is shown on the display. (3) Parameter type The type of the parameter currently selected for editing is indicated by the flashing module cursor LED and parameter cursor LED.

Storing a Patch If an edited patch (or a patch whose patch level setting was changed in the Play mode) is not stored, the change will be lost when another patch is selected. This activates the store mode, and you can now choose the bank number and patch number in which you want to store the patch. group, parameters other NOTE For patches from the preset be stored. Therefore, than the patch level cannot even if a patch was chosen from the preset group, the store destination will automatically become "U" (user group) if a parameter other than the patch level was changed. If only the patch level was changed, the store destination can also be "P" (preset group). · Change other parameters in the same way. changes NOTE Parameter setting return to made in this way are only temporary. If you the Play mode or select a different patch without storing the new settings first, the settings will be lost. For details on how to store a patch, please refer to next section. Turning Effect Modules On and Off In the Edit mode, each effect can be turned on and off independently from others. · Pressing a pedal corresponding to an effect module that is currently on (pedal LED and effect module cursor LED are lit) turns the effect module off. Press the pedal again to turn the effect back on. · Use the BANK pedal and pedals 1 - 4 to specify the bank number and patch number. If no input is made, the patch will be stored in the original bank number and patch number. HINT The effect module on/off setting can also be stored as part of a patch. NOTE When a patch is stored, the patch that was previously stored in that number will be overwritten (erased). When wishing to restore the factory preset patches, please refer to the explanation on page 18. Compare During editing, it is possible to temporarily return to the setting that was active before starting the editing process. [. . . ] This setting can also be stored as part of the patch. Explanation (1)TIME: Determines the duration of the reverberation. (3)MIX: Determines the balance between effect sound and direct sound. Parameter 4 Parameter 5 PATCH LEVEL PATCH LEVEL 0 to 31 0 to 31 Explanation (4)/(5) PATCH LEVEL: Determines the individual output level for each patch. HINT The patch level parameter can be set regardless of the REVERB module on/off status. When all modules are OFF, the PATCH LEVEL setting "25" produces the same volume as in the bypass mode. 2 E/R (Early Reflections) This is a short, room-type reverb effect, which adds body and ambience to the sound without causing excessive boominess. Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 TIME TONE MIX 1 to 10 -7 to +7 0 to 10 3 Delay This effect is similar to the ping-pong delay of the DELAY module, but with a maximum delay time of 900 milliseconds. Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 TIME (x10 ms) FEEDBACK MIX 0 to 90 0 to 10 0 to 10 Explanation (1)TIME (x10 ms): This parameter adjusts the delay time in 10-ms steps.
