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. · 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. · Environment Caution Avoid using your 3000B in environments where it will be exposed to: · Extreme temperature · High humidity or moisture · Excessive dust or sand · Excessive vibration or shock · 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. · 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. · 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 · 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 · 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.

The 3000B is a bass multi-effect device with the following features: · 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. · 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. · 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. · 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. · 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. · 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. · Input sensitivity and tone can be adjusted to match the instrument characteristics and the playing venue. · Built-in metronome function and auto-chromatic tuner enhance practice sessions. Introduction Please take the time to read this manual carefully, so as to get the most out of your 3000B and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

Power for the remote pedal will be supplied by the 3000B. Other remote cables (RC05, RC10) cannot be used. INPUT Bass Names of Parts DC9V SERIAL NO. OUTPUT INPUT REMOTE IN 300mA (PHONES) DC INPUT OUTPUT PHONES OUT 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. ADVANCED BASS EFFECTS PROCESSOR 3q Introducing the 3000B 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: · COMP (Compressor) · DIST/AMP (Distortion/Amp Simulator) · WAH (Wah) · EQ (Equalizer) · SYNTH (Bass Synthesizer) · EFFECT (Effect) · DLY/REV (Delay/Reverb) The following diagram shows the signal flow i ...
