The meanings of these symbols are as follows: This symbol indicates explanations about extremely dangerous matters. [. . . ] Select the patch in play mode, and move the expression pedal back and forth. Depending on the program content of the patch, the volume or effect parameter will change. NOTE All user-created patches will be lost when performing All Initialize. Use the [ ]/[ ] foot switches to select the patch you want to return to the original condition. The specified bank and patch number are flashing on the display. C2 During Factory Recall, the [+]/[-] keys cannot be used to switch the bank only. The settings of the specified patch are returned to the factory default condition. The unit will switch to the play mode at this point. ZOOM 505 II GUITAR If the foot switch or expression pedal is connected to the 505 II while the unit is powered, malfunction may occur. Be sure to plug the foot switch or expression pedal into the CONTROL IN jack first and then plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). The pedal is active also in edit mode. 18 ZOOM 505 II GUITAR 19 Linking Effects The patches of the 505 II consist of seven serially linked effect modules, as shown in the illustration below. (The maximum number of effects that can be used simultaneously is 9. ) You can use all effect modules or selectively set certain modules to on or off. Effect module Effect Types and Parameters Starting on the next page, all effect types in all effect modules are listed, together with their parameters. How to read the listing Display The display example shown at the left side of the effect parameter listing shows the setting that can be adjusted with the [+]/[-] keys. Which setting this is depends on the module. Effect type only shown Parameter setting value only shown COMP WAH COMPRESSOR LIMITER AUTO WAH COMPRESSOR> AUTO WAH PEDAL WAH COMPRESSOR> PEDAL WAH DIST ACOUSTIC FDR CLN RHYTHM OVERDRIVE DIST BLUES FUZZ LEAD METAL MS DRV BG DRV PVY DRV EQ 4 BAND EQ PHASE SHIFT ZNR ZNR AMP AMP SIM MOD CHO/PIT DLY/REV CHORUS PEDAL CHORUS FLANGER FLANGER>CHORUS PEDAL FLANGER DUBLING DUBLING>CHORUS PEDAL DUBLING TREMOLO TREMOLO>CHORUS PEDAL TREMOLO STEP STEP>CHORUS PEDAL STEP CRY1 CRY2 CRY>CHORUS PEDAL CRY PITCH SHIFT PEDAL PITCH DOWN PEDAL PITCH UP RING MOD RING >CHORUS PEDAL RING MOD SLOW ATTACK SLOW ATTACK > PITCH SHIFT PEDAL SLOW ATTACK DELAY ECHO HALL ROOM Ac Effect type 40 Setting value Effect type and parameter setting value shown [PLAY/EDIT] selector The drawing of the [PLAY/EDIT] selector shows the position which is used to call up that module and parameter. Effect type C9 Setting value MOD Module on/off Effect type For every effect module, the last basic parameter setting is " o F ". When this is selected, the respective module is turned off, which means that it will not affect the sound output by the 505 II. (The effect is the same as when both [ ]/[ ] foot switches are pressed together in edit mode. ) MOD module basic parameters This effect module comprises effects such as chorus, flanger, and tremolo. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity. Linking Effects 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 Effect Types and Parameters L7 L9 LP oF SLOW ATTACK > PITCH SHIFT (Slow Attack > Pitch Shift) This effect type is a serial connection of slow attack and pitch shifter. (The pitch shifter is fixed to the 1 octave up setting. ) PEDAL SLOW ATTACK (Pedal Slow Attack) Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack, the attack rate can be adjusted. For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the MOD module comprises CHORUS, FLANGER, TREMOLO, and other effect types. The DLY/REV module comprises DELAY, HALL, ROOM, etc. OFF (Off) Turns the MOD module off. Expression pedal A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the expression pedal (FP01/FP02). When such a parameter is selected, the respective module can be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal. Except for pedal wah, when a parameter marked with a pedal icon is selected, the sound will correspond to the representative setting of that effect. The COMP module and MOD module allow you to choose two effect types simultaneously, such as COMPRESSOR > AUTO WAH or DOUBLING > CHORUS. If there is no parameter marked with a pedal icon selected in the entire patch, the expression pedal operates as a volume pedal. 20 ZOOM 505 II GUITAR ZOOM 505 II GUITAR 21 PATCH LEVEL PATCH LEVEL P1 P4 PEDAL WAH (Pedal Wah) This effect type allows using an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack for pedal wah. Higher setting values result in higher emphasized frequency. 1 30 Adjusts the overall volume of the patch. A value of 25 corresponds to unity gain (input level and output level are equal). COMP LIMIT WAH COMP module basic parameters This module comprises the compressor, limiter, auto wah, and pedal wah effect types. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity. P5 P9 oF COMPRESSOR > PEDAL WAH (Compressor > Pedal Wah) This effect type is a serial connection of compressor and pedal wah. (The compressor effect is fixed. ) OFF (Off) Turns the COMP module off. DIST DIST module basic parameters In addition to 10 distortion type effects, this module also comprises two clean effect types. [. . . ] · P7: A slightly pitch-shifted component is mixed to the original sound, resulting in a chorus with slight modulation. · P8: A component shifted by a perfect fourth up and down is mixed to the original sound. · P9: A component shifted by 1 octave up and down is mixed to the original sound. oF OFF (Off) Turns the MOD module off.
