[. . . ] To cancel All Initialize, press the VALUE [-] key. NOTE All user-created patches will be lost when performing All Initialize. Use the BANK [W]/[Q] keys and the foot switches [1] - [4] to select the patch you want to return to the original condition. The specified bank and patch number flashes on the display. C2 3. The settings of the specified patch are returned to the factory default condition. The unit will switch to the play mode at this point.

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 COMP/LIMIT COMPRESSOR LIMITER WAH AUTO WAH PEDAL BOOST DRIVE FDR CLN US BLUES MS DRV BG DRV PVY DRV OD DIST LEAD FUZZ METAL ACOUSTIC EQ 4 BAND EQ ZNR ZNR AMP MOD/PITCH DLY/REV COMBO BRIGHT COMBO STACK CHORUS FLANGER FLANGER CHORUS PHASE PHASE CHORUS DOUBLING DOUBLING CHORUS TREMOLO TREMOLO CHORUS STEP STEP CHORUS CRY1 CRY2 CRY CHORUS RING MOD RING MOD CHORUS SLOW ATTACK SLOW ATTACK PITCH SHIFT PITCH SHIFT DELAY ECHO HALL ROOM Effect type 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. 22 ZOOM GFX-1 GFX1(E). fm 23 ページ ２００４年９月９日　木曜日　午後５時１８分 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 only shown Parameter setting value only shown Effect type and parameter setting value shown FU Effect type 40 Setting value Effect type C9 Setting value PLAY/EDIT selector The illustration shows the selector position for calling up the effect module/effect parameter. 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. AUTO WAH This effect type automatically varies the amount of wah dependent on playing intensity. Higher setting values result in higher input sensitivity for the auto wah effect, so that wah operates also with low input signal levels. PEDAL AUTO WAH The expression pedal adjusts the sensitivity for auto wah. PEDAL BOOST allows using the expression pedal for pedal wah, where This effect type the pedal can be used to shift the emphasized frequency up or down. OFF Turns the WAH module off. Module on/off For every effect module, selecting the "oF" setting will turn the module off. (The "oF" setting cannot be selected if the [PLAY/EDIT] selector is set to "PATCH LEVEL" . ) Pedal icon When you select this effect type, the respective effect module can be controlled in real time with an expression pedal connected to the GFX-1. Which parameter is changed by moving the pedal also depends on the effect type. effect type with is HINT ･ Except for pedal wah, when ana representative the pedal icon module. selected, the sound will reflect setting of that ･ If no effect type with a pedal icon is selected within a patch, the expression pedal operates as volume pedal. ZOOM GFX-1 23 GFX1(E). fm 24 ページ ２００４年９月９日　木曜日　午後５時１８分 Effect Parameters PATCH LEVEL COMP/LIMIT PATCH LEVEL PATCH LEVEL Adjusts the overall volume of the patch. A value of 25 corresponds to unity gain (input level and output level are equal). COMP/LIMIT COMP/LIMIT module This module comprises the compressor and limiter effect types. Use the VALUE [+] / [-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity. ■ COMPRESSOR This effect type attenuates high-level signal components and boosts low-level signal components, thereby keeping the overall signal level within a certain range. Higher setting values result in stronger compression. LEVEL LEVEL Original sound Compressor TIME TIME ■ LIMITER This effect type attenuates peak levels and prevents overload of the next module. Higher setting values result in stronger limiter action. LEVEL LEVEL Original sound Limiter TIME TIME 24 ZOOM GFX-1 GFX1(E). fm 25 ページ ２００４年９月９日　木曜日　午後５時１８分 Effect Parameters COMP/LIMIT WAH ■ OFF Turns the COMP/LIMIT module off. 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. ■ AUTO WAH This effect type automatically varies the amount of wah dependent on playing intensity. Higher setting values result in higher input sensitivity for the auto wah effect, so that wah operates also with low input signal levels. ■ PEDAL AUTO WAH The expression pedal adjusts the sensitivity for auto wah. ■ PEDAL BOOST Creates a sound where a certain frequency is boosted when pedal wah is half open. Higher setting values result in higher emphasized frequency. ■ PEDAL WAH This effect type allows using the expression pedal for pedal wah, where the pedal can be used to shift the emphasized frequency up or down. ■ OFF The WAH module is off. ZOOM GFX-1 25 GFX1(E). fm 26 ページ ２００４年９月９日　木曜日　午後５時１８分 Effect Parameters DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE module In addition to 9 distortion type effects, this module also comprises two clean effect types. Use the VALUE [+] / [-] keys to select the effect type and the GAIN [+] / [-] keys to adjust the gain. Setting the gain to "dP" allows controlling the gain with the expression pedal (for all effect types of the DRIVE module). ■ FDR CLN (FDR Clean) Simulates the clean sound of a built-in type tube amplifier. ■ US BLUES Solid crunch sound for playing the Blues. ■ MS DRV (MS Drive) Drive sound emulating a British style tube stack amp. ■ BG DRV (BG Drive) Drive sound emulating a tube stack amp with a tight and controlled midrange. ■ PVY DRV (PVY Drive) High-gain tube amplifier drive sound, great for heavy metal. ■ OD (Overdrive) Extended overdrive sound with the character of tube amplifier distortion. ■ DIST (Distortion) Distortion similar to driving a three-stack amp in the hard rock style. ■ LEAD Smooth, bright distortion sound. ■ FUZZ Sixties style fuzz sound with fat bass. 26 ZOOM GFX-1 GFX1(E). fm 27 ページ ２００４年９月９日　木曜日　午後５時１８分 Effect Parameters DRIVE EQ ■ METAL Heavy metal type sound with emphasized bass and treble. [. . . ] Higher right-digit setting values result in stronger reverb. ■ PEDAL HALL The expression pedal adjusts the mixing amount of the effect sound. ZOOM GFX-1 35 GFX1(E). fm 36 ページ ２００４年９月９日　木曜日　午後５時１８分 Effect Parameters DLY/REV TIME ■ ROOM This is a reverb effect that simulates the reverberation in a room. Higher rightdigit setting values result in stronger reverb. ■ PEDAL ROOM The expression pedal adjusts the mixing amount of the effect sound. ■ OFF Turns the DLY/REV module off. TIME DLY/REV module (extended parameters) These parameters serve to adjust the delay time or reverb time for the effect type selected with the DLY/ REV module basic parameters. The parameters are linked to the DLY/REV module and are off when the DLY/REV module is off. ■ DELAY TIME (When DELAY or ECHO is selected as effect type) Adjusts delay time in 10 ms units. (Example: A setting value of 15 gives a delay time of 150 ms. ) ■ REVERB TIME (When HALL or ROOM is selected as effect type) Sets the reverb time in the range from 1 - 10. [. . . ]
