The meanings of these symbols are as follows: This symbol indicates explanations about extremely dangerous Warning matters. [. . . ] "Factory Recall" restores a specific patch to the original condition. The indication "AL" flashes on the display. Adjusting the Expression Pedal The expression pedal of the 606 is adjusted for optimum operation at the factory, but sometimes, readjustment may be necessary. If the action of the pedal seems to be insufficient, or if a large change occurs even if the pedal is only lightly pushed, adjust the pedal as follows. The indication "dn" flashes on the display. dn s To perform All Initialize 2. All patch settings are returned to the factory default condition, and the unit switches to play mode. The display indication changes to "UP". Pedal fully raised UP Adjusting the Expression Pedal All user-created patches will be lost when performing All Initialize. Use this function with care. Restoring the Factory Defaults s To perform Factory Recall 2. Use the [W] / [Q] foot switches to select the patch you want to return to the original condition. During Factory Recall, the VALUE [+] / [-] keys cannot be used to switch the bank only. The settings of the specified patch are returned to the factory default condition. Push the expression pedal fully down and then lift your foot off the pedal. When you release your foot, the pedal goes back a little. Push strongly, so that pedal touches here When foot is lifted, pedal returns slightly 4. The adjustment is completed, and the unit returns to the play mode. The point where the STORE key is pressed in step 3 determines the module on/off switching point. If you want the pedal to perform on/off switching with a lighter touch, push the key at a somewhat higher position of the pedal. 22 ZOOM 606 GUITAR ZOOM 606 GUITAR 23 Effect Sequence A patch of the 606 can be thought of as 8 effect modules connected in series, as shown in the illustration below. Depending on the on/off setting of the individual modules, you can use all eight effect modules together or use only specific modules. Effect module sequence and effect types Effect module Effect Parameters This section explains all effect types and parameters in the effect modules. How to read the "Effect Parameters" listing Display Shows the settings that can be selected for each module with the VALUE [+] / [-] keys. Depending on the selected effect module, the effect type, parameter setting value, or both are shown.

Effect type WAH WAH module This module comprises auto wah and pedal wah for use with the expression pedal. Use the VALUE [+] / [-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity. Effect Sequence PEDAL WAH This effect type allows using the expression pedal for pedal wah. Higher setting values result in higher emphasized frequency. NOTE Effect Parameters For some effect modules, you can select among several effect types. For example, the MOD/PITCH module offers the choices CHORUS, FLANGER, PHASE, TREMOLO, etc. In this module, you can also have two effect types operating in succession, such as FLANGER CHORUS or TREMOLO CHORUS. Simply selecting PEDAL WAH as effect type is not enough to obtain a wah effect when moving the pedal. [. . . ] The relation between pitch shift range and setting values is shown in the table on the next page. 34 ZOOM 606 GUITAR ZOOM 606 GUITAR 35 Effect Parameters MOD/PITCH DLY/REV Effect Parameters ECHO (Echo) DLY/REV TIME PEDAL PITCH shift range Pedal fully raised L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 L7 L8 L9 ± 0 cent ± 0 cent ± 0 cent ± 0 cent ± 0 cent +1 octave + original sound -700 cent (7 semitones down) + original sound - (0 Hz) + original sound - (0 Hz) + original sound Pedal fully pushed down -100 cent (semitone down) +1 octave +2 octaves -1 octave -2 octaves -1 octave + original sound +500 cent (5 semitones down) + original sound +1 octave +1 octave + original sound E1 E9 H1 H9 r1 r9 oF This is a delay effect with a warm sound similar to a tape echo. By using the output in stereo, you can achieve a ping-pong delay where the delay sound alternates between the left and right channels. The right-digit setting values control the feedback (number of repetitions) and the mixing ratio between original sound and effect sound. HALL (Hall) This is a reverb effect that produces a sound similar to the reverberation in a concert hall. Higher right-digit setting values result in stronger reverb. ROOM (Room) This is a reverb effect that simulates the reverberation in a room. [. . . ]
