USAGE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In this manual, symbols are used to highlight warnings and cautions for you to read so that accidents can be prevented. The meanings of these symbols are as follows: USAGE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning
This symbol indicates explanations about extremely dangerous matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the device the wrong way, serious injury or death could result. This symbol indicates explanations about dangerous matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the device the wrong way, bodily injury and damage to the equipment could result.
Caution
Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the 3000B.
ยท Power requirements
Warning
The 3000B is powered by the supplied AC adapter. To prevent malfunction and safety hazards, do not use any other kind of AC adapter. When using the 3000B in an area with a different line voltage, please consult your local ZOOM distributor about acquiring a proper AC adapter.
ยท Environment
Caution
Avoid using your 3000B in environments where it will be exposed to: ยท Extreme temperature ยท High humidity or moisture ยท Excessive dust or sand ยท Excessive vibration or shock
ยท Handling
Caution
Since the 3000B is a precision electronic device, avoid applying excessive force to the switches and buttons. Also take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive pressure.
ยท Alterations
Caution
Never open the case of the 3000B or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.
ยท Connecting cables and input and output jacks
Caution
You should always turn off the power to the 3000B and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before moving the 3000B.
ADVANCED BASS EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Usage Precautions
ยท Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the 3000B has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the 3000B, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely. With any type of digital control device, the 3000B included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage.
USAGE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ยท Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 3000B. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the finish or damage the surface.
Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future reference.

ADVANCED BASS EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Introduction
Thank you for selecting the ZOOM PLAYER 3000B (hereafter simply called the "3000B"). The 3000B is a bass multi-effect device with the following features:
ยท 45 built in effects types covering a wide range. Up to 9 effects can be combined in a patch, letting you easily create your own sound. ยท Many special effects designed to enhance a bass guitar performance. DEFRET makes a normal bass sound like a fretless bass. SLAP achieves slapping sound from 2-finger playing. ยท Built-in bass synthesizer detects bass pitch and controls a sound source to generate unison phrases and harmonic voices. Unusual auto effects such as TRILL and SWEEP are also available. ยท Hold delay function is separate from individual effects and can store and repeat phrases of up to 6 seconds duration. The delay time can be conveniently set by tapping a foot switch. ยท User-definable FUNCTION switch operates as a bypass or mute switch and can also be used as real-time controller, for example to vary effect parameters or volume during a performance. ยท Connecting the optional remote pedal RP01 provides an even more powerful range of real-time controller functions. Use as pedal wah or pedal pitch shifter is also possible. ยท Input sensitivity and tone can be adjusted to match the instrument characteristics and the playing venue. ยท Built-in metronome function and auto-chromatic tuner enhance practice sessions.

AC adapter
When using the 3000B with one bass guitar amplifier, make the connection with a mono cable. For driving two bass guitar amplifiers, a stereo Y cable is required. The use of two amplifiers will result in impressive wide sound for stereo effects.
Headphones A pair of stereo headphones can be connected to the OUTPUT (PHONES) jack. If the volume level from the headphones is low, use phones with low impedance.
Bas amplifiers
Before Playing
After completing connection, the volume has to be adjusted according to the following procedure.
STEP
1 2
Cut the power to the amplifier, turn the volume down to its minimum level, and connect the 3000B correctly to the musical instrument and amplifier Power up the 3000B.
STEP
Connect the accessory AC adapter to the DC INPUT jack. The power to the 3000B is ON when the AC adapter is plugged into a power outlet.
STEP
3
Switch ON the power to the amplifier.
Adjust the volume of the musical instrument and the amplifier while playing the instrument.

Terms Used in This Manual
Some important concepts are explained in this section.
s Effect module
An effect module is a single effect that influences the sound in a certain way, similar to a stand-alone compact effect device such as a compressor or a delay. The 3000B incorporates seven effect modules which can be used all together or in various combinations. The following effect modules are incorporated in the 3000B: ยท COMP (Compressor) ยท DIST/AMP (Distortion/Amp Simulator) ยท WAH (Wah) ยท EQ (Equalizer) ยท SYNTH (Bass Synthesizer) ยท EFFECT (Effect) ยท DLY/REV (Delay/Reverb) The following diagram shows the signal flow i ...
