The 4040 is a sophisticated multi-effect device with the following features and functions: · A total of 25 built-in individual effects, which can be combined in patches of up to six effects. 40 preset patches and a user memory for 40 additional patches offer extraordinary flexibility. · Integrated volume and expression pedals allow adjustment of output level and effect settings in real time. This is ideal for use during a live performance. · Integrated auto-chromatic guitar tuning function lets you quickly and precisely tune instruments on stage. · Compression and distortion effects are generated using analog circuitry, to assure rich and natural-sounding sustain and distortion. · Send/return Jacks allow connection of external effect devices, and a control out lets you switch guitar amp channels. You can even program the use of these connectors as part of a patch, to create sophisticated sound effects. · MIDI OUT for control of external MIDI devices makes the 4040 convenient as a system control center. · By using the optional foot switch FS01, single effect on/off switching during a performance is possible, for further enhanced playability. Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of your 4040 and to ensure optimum performance and reliability. 1 Safety Precautions Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the 4040. Usage Precautions · Electrical interference The 4040 uses digital circuitry that may cause interference and noise if placed too close to other electrical equipment, such as TV sets and radio receivers. If such problems occur, move the 4040 further away from the affected equipment. Also, when fluorescent lights or devices with built-in motors are close to the 4040, the unit may not function properly. · Power requirements The 4040 is powered by the supplied AC adapter AD0003/AD0004. To prevent malfunction and safety hazands, Do not use any other kind of AC adapter. When using the 4040 in an area with a different line voltage, please consult your local ZOOM distributor about acquiring a proper AC adapter. · Cleaning Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 4040. 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. · Environment Avoid using your 4040 in environments where it will be exposed to: · · · · Extreme temperature High humidity or moisture Excessive dust or sand Excessive vibration or shock Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future reference. · Handling Since the 4040 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 Never open the case of the 4040 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 You should always turn off the power to the 4040 and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before moving the 4040. 2 Getting Familiar With Some Basic Terms This manual has been written so that it can be easily understood by first-time users. However, the 4040 offers several special functions which are not available with a conventional effect processor. This section explains some of the terms used to describe such functions. · Effect Module The 4040 incorporates five types of effect groups which are referred to as "effect modules". Each effect module can be thought of as a single compact effect. The 4040 therefore operates like five compact effects connected in series. In addition, it is also possible to connect external effect devices. The 4040 offers the following five effect modules: · PRE (Analog compressor and distortion effects) · EQ (Equalizer and wah effects, amp simulation) · MODULATION (Modulation effects for changing pitch or sound timbre, such as pedal pitch and flanger) · DELAY (Delay effects) · REVERB (Reverberation effects) serve to switch between patches. Such a set of four patches is referred to as a "bank". To select a patch, first specify the group and the bank number (0 ­ 9), and then use the foot pedal switches 1 ­ 4 to select the patch number. GROUP BANK No. 0 1 USER 2 PATCH No. 1­4 1­4 1­4 9 0 1 1­4 1­4 1­4 1­4 · Effect Type Each effect module contains several effect variations which are called "effect types". Each effect module can use one effect type at a time. For a list of effect types in each effect module, please see the table on page 10. PRESET 2 9 1­4 · Patches and Groups The 4040 allows you to use a maximum of five effect modules simultaneously. A combination of effect modules, each with individual parameter settings plus the final output level setting is referred to as a "patch". The patch also includes the external effect on/off setting, external control setting, and expression pedal setting. · Parameter The elements which determine the sound of an effect are referred to as "parameters". Parameter values can be adjusted for each effect module, to create your own patches with the 4040. · Mode The functions of the 4040 can be roughly divided into three different categories. These are called "modes", as described below. PATCH INPUT PRE EQ MODULATION DELAY REVERB OUTPUT EXT VOL. PEDAL PATCH LEVEL · Play Mode In this mode, patches can be selected and played. This is the default mode of the 4040 when power is turned on. · Edit (Manual) Mode In this mode, the parameters of each patch can be edited. The mode can also serve as a manual mode to switch effect modules on and off during a performance using the pedal switches 1 ­ 4 and the BANK w pedal. · Special Mode Serves to return some or all patch data to the factory preset condition. The 4040 has two memory areas or "groups" where patches are stored: the USER group for patches that can be freely altered and stored by the user, and the PRESET group for factory defined read-only patches. There are 40 patches in each group, for a total of 80 patches. · Bank The 4040 calls up patches in sets of four, and the foot pedals 3 Names and Functions of Controls and Connectors Front Panel (1) (2) (3) BANK DELAY TIME TAP EDIT PRE MODULE ADVANCED GUITAR EFFECTS PROCESSOR TUNER (BYPASS) 1 CLN I 3 ODI 4 ODII EFFECT 2 CLN II 5 DST I 6 DST II 1 EQ 7 LEAD 8 METAL PARM 1 PARM 2 PARM 3 PARM 4 PARM 5 TOTAL BANK EQ 2 AMP SIM COLOR [1­ 3] BOX [1­ 3] DEPTH [0­10] TONE [-7­ +7] LEVEL [1­ 8] EXTERNAL CONTROL OUT [1­ 4] 0= NORM 1= INV VOL 3 AUTO 4 PDL WAH WAH FREQ FREQ [1­64] SENS [0­10] EXP.

Useful functions in the Play mode Some other useful functions available in Play mode are described below. A bank is a group of four patches. There are ten banks each (numbered 0 through 9) for the USER group and the PRESET group. The BANK v pedal selects the next higher bank, and the BANK w pedal the next lower bank. (The bank number display flashes.) GROUP=PRESET GROUP=USER GROUP=BOTH s Adjusting the patch level The final output level of the patch -- called the patch level -- is also stored as a parameter along with the other parameters of the patch. In the Play mode, the patch level can be adjusted. · Press the VALUE + / - keys in the Play mode. When one of the VALUE + / - keys is pressed, the current patch level setting is shown on the display as a numeric value (0 ­ 50). Pressing VALUE + increases the value and pressing VALUE - decreases it. To change values continuously, hold down the key. To change values more rapidly, press the other key as well. NOTE The patch level setting change made in this way is only temporary. If you select a different patch without storing the new level setting first, the setting will be lost. (For details on how to store settings, please refer to page 12.) In the Play mode, the patch level can be adjusted also for patches from the PRESET group, but the new level setting cannot be stored. When wishing to store the level, select a patch from the USER group. NOTE Merely pressing one of the BANK pedals does not yet change the patch. To activate the patch and change the sound, press one of the pedal switches 1 4, as described below. s Bypassing the effects You can temporarily turn off all effects in a patch. This is useful for example to check the sonic character of a patch. The bypass mode is also used for the chromatic tuning function. · In the Play mode, press the pedal switch 1 - 4 whose LED is lit (i.e. the pedal switch that was used to choose the current patch). All effects in the patch are now bypassed and the original instrument sound is heard. In the bypass condition, the LED of the selected patch flashes and the tuner LED lights up. · Press the pedal switch once more to turn the patch on again. Normal Play mode can also be restored by selecting a different patch. · Select the patch by pressing one of the pedal switches 1 ­ 4. The LED of that pedal lights up, showing that the patch has been selected. (The BANK number is now constantly lit.) Now would be a good time to try out some of the various patches offered by the 4040 while playing your instrument. s Tuning a guitar The 4040 incorporates an automatic guitar tuning function. When the 4040 is set to the bypass mode, the tuning function is automatically enabled. · In the Play mode, press the pedal switch 1 ­ 4 whose LED is lit. This activates the bypass mode and the tuner LED lights up. 8 · Pick an open string on the guitar. The display shows the note which is closest to the current pitch. Tune the guitar to the desired pitch. · While the reference frequency is shown, use the VALUE + / - keys to adjust the frequency. The adjustment range is 35 (435 Hz) to 45 (445 Hz). C= C #= D= D #= E= F= F #= G= G #= A= 435Hz : A #= 440Hz : B= 445Hz : The default reference frequency setting that is established when the 4040 is turned on is 440 Hz. NOTE · When the display shows the desired note, perform fine tuning. While the tuner function is being used, the parameter cursor LEDs serve as a fine tuning meter. When the pitch is correct, the PARM3 LED lights. If the pitch is too high, the PARM1 LED lights, and if it is too low, the PARM5 LED lights. Watch the LEDs while fine tuning your instrument.

The PARAMETER SELECT keys control the module cursor LEDs. The PARAMETER SELECT keys control the parameter cursor LEDs. The display indication changes accordingly. The topmost LED corresponds to the EFFECT parameter which changes the effect type. When the effect type is changed, the setting of parameters 1 - 5 also changes. Therefore it is best to first select the effect type and then work on the other parameters when creating an effect from scratch. The bottom LED corresponds to a number of special parameters called TOTAL parameters. These LEDs refer to the control of an external effect or amplifier, and to settings which affect operation of the entire 4040. · Use the VALUE +/- keys to change the parameter value. The value of the currently selected parameter is changed. For details on the parameters of each effect module, please refer to "Effect Types and Parameters" on pages 13 ­ 22. HINT · Change other parameters in the same way. NOTE Parameter setting changes made in this way are only temporary. If you return to the Play mode or select a different patch without storing the new settings first, the settings will be lost. For details on how to store a patch, please refer to page 12.

The LED goes out. Press the pedal again to turn the effect back on. The effect module on/off setting can also be stored as part of a patch. For patches from the PRESET group, changed NOTE parameters cannot be stored. Therefore, even if a patch was chosen from the PRESET group, the store destination will automatically become "U" (USER group) if a parameter was changed. · Use the BANK pedals and pedal switches 1 ­ 4 to specify the bank number and patch number. If no input is made, the patch will be stored in the original bank number and patch number. NOTE When a patch is stored, the patch that was previously stored in that number will be overwritten (erased). Take care not to erase a patch that you want to keep. When wishing to restore the factory preset patches, please refer to the explanation on page 25. HINT Compare During editing, it is possible to temporarily return to the setting that was active before starting the editing process. This is called the "compare" function. · In the Edit mode, press the GROUP key. The previous value of the parameter where the cursor is currently located and the indication "CP" appear alternately on the display. · Press the STORE key again. The patch is stored, and the 4040 reverts to the Play mode. NOTE If the STORE key has not yet been pressed for the second time, you can use the EDIT/CANCEL key to cancel the store process and return to the immediately preceding mode. · Press the GROUP key once more. The 4040 returns to the Edit mode. The compare function is useful for example to check how a certain parameter change affects the overall sound. When the parameter is selected with the PARAMETER SELECT keys, the value of that parameter is shown on the display. HINT Storing a Patch If an edited patch (or a patch whose patch level setting was changed in the Play mode) is not stored, the change will be lost when another patch is selected. To preserve a setting, store the patch as described below. · Press the STORE key in the Play mode or Edit mode. The unit is now in the store standby condition, and you can choose the bank number and patch number in which you want to store the patch. 12 Effect Types and Parameters In this section, all effect types and parameters of the 4040 are explained. Parameters that are the same for several effects are explained in detail only the first time they appear. PRE 1 CLEAN 1 2 CLEAN 2 3 OVERDRIVE 1 4 OVERDRIVE 2 5 DISTORTION 1 6 DISTORTION 2 7 LEAD 8 METAL EQ 1 EQUALIZER 2 AMP SIMULATOR 3 AUTO WAH 4 PEDAL WAH MODULATION 1 PEDAL PITCH 2 PITCH SHIFTER 3 FLANGER 4 PHASER 5 TREMOLO 6 STEP 7 SLOW ATTACK 8 CHORUS DELAY 1 MONO DELAY 2 PINGPONG DELAY REVERB 1 HALL 2 ROOM 3 DELAY PATCH LEVEL s Effect Module 1: (PRE) This module combines a compressor with various types of distortion. The compressor maintains the volume at a given level without impairing the sense of tone and attack. The distortion effect produces characteristic tube-amplifier- like distortion combined with long sustain. 2 CLN II (Clean 2) Clean sound effect with flat characteristics that is suitable for electric and acoustic guitar. PRE 1 CLN I (Clean 1) This effect type uses only the compressor, to obtain a clean sound without distortion. The effect is especially suitable for electric guitars. PRE 1 CLN I Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 5 COMP TONE ZNR 0­4 -7 ­ +7 0 ­ 15 2 CLN II Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 5 COMP TONE ZNR 0­4 -7 ­ +7 0 ­ 15 3 OD I (Overdrive 1) Overdrive effect with the warm distortion sound that is typical for tube amplifiers. PRE 3 OD I Explanation (1)COMP (compressor): Determines the depth of the compression. The higher the value, the smaller the level difference, and the longer sustain is obtained. (2)TONE: This is a tone-control-type equalizer. Changing the value towards (+) makes the sound brighter and changing it towards (-) makes the sound more subdued. (5)ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction): This parameter adjusts the threshold for the ZNR feature which cuts noise during performance pauses. You should set the parameter to a value as high as possible, but without causing the instrument release to sound unnatural. NOTE The optimum ZNR setting depends on the type of guitar you are using. Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 COMP TONE GAIN DYNAMICS ZNR 0­4 -7 ­ +7 1 ­ 16 0­3 0 ­ 15 Explanation (3)GAIN: Determines distortion intensity in the overdrive circuit. The higher the value, the deeper the distortion. (4)DYNAMICS: This parameter changes the volume depending on the picking intensity, but without changing the distortion. The higher the value, the more pronounced the effect. 13 4 OD II (Overdrive 2) Overdrive effect with heavy, fuzzy distortion. PRE 4 OD II Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 COMP TONE GAIN DYNAMICS ZNR 0­4 -7 ­ +7 1 ­ 16 0­3 0 ­ 15 7 LEAD Hard distortion with a distinct character. PRE 7 LEAD Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 COMP TONE GAIN DYNAMICS ZNR 0­4 -7 ­ +7 1 ­ 16 0­3 0 ­ 15 5 DST I (Distortion 1) Hard distortion effect similar to a large amplifier driven to full capacity. PRE 5 DST I Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 COMP TONE GAIN DYNAMICS ZNR 0­4 -7 ­ +7 1 ­ 16 0­3 0 ­ 15 8 METAL Distortion which stresses the upper and lower ends of the frequency spectrum, suitable for heavy metal. PRE 8 METAL Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 COMP TONE GAIN DYNAMICS ZNR 0­4 -7 ­ +7 1 ­ 16 0­3 0 ­ 15 6 DST II (Distortion 2) Distortion with a thick, full-bodied character that is ideal for the heavy metal genre. PRE 6 Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 COMP TONE GAIN DYNAMICS ZNR DST II 0­4 -7 ­ +7 1 ­ 16 0­3 0 ­ 15 14 s Effect Module 2: Equalizer (EQ) This effect module comprises four effect types to control the tonal character of the sound. 2 AMP SIM (Amp simulator) This effect simulates the sound of a guitar amplifier. By combining it with the PRE module, the sound of picking up a guitar amp with a microphone can be convincingly recreated. EQ 2 AMP SIM Parameter 1 Parameter 2 COLOR BOX DEPTH TONE LEVEL 1­3 1­3 0 ­ 10 -7 ­ +7 1­8 1 EQ (Equalizer) This is an equalizer with independent boost/cut for the high, mid, and low frequency range. The mid-range control is a parametric type allowing the user to freely select the center frequency. EQ Parameter 3 1 EQ Parameter 4 Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 HIGH MID MID f LOW LEVEL -7 ­ +7 Parameter 5 -7 ­ +7 1 ­ 16 -7 ­ +7 1­8 Explanation (1)HI (high range): Adjusts the high frequency range. A value of 0 (zero) signifies flat response. The higher the value, the stronger is the high frequency boost. (2)MID (midrange): Adjusts the mid frequency range. A value of 0 (zero) signifies flat response. The higher the value, the stronger the mid frequency boost. (3)MID f (midrange frequency): Determines the center frequency for cut/boost. The higher the value, the higher is the center frequency. (4)LOW (low range): Adjusts the low frequency range. A value of 0 (zero) signifies flat response. The higher the value, the stronger the low frequency boost. (5)LEVEL: Determines the EQ module output level. Gain Mid f Explanation (1)COLOR: Determines the frequency response of the simulated amplifier. 1: Flat response 2: Vintage tube amplifier with emphasized midrange 3: Modern amplifier with extended high and low range (2)BOX: Determines the type of simulated speaker enclosure. 1: Stack 2: Combo 3: Compact (3)DEPTH: Determines the amount of speaker box ringing. Higher values will result in pronounced ringing which occurs when an amplifier is operating at a loud volume. When set to 0 (zero), there is no such speaker box ringing, regardless of the selected box type. 3 AUTO WAH This is an auto wah effect where the emphasized frequency range changes according to the dynamics of the input signal.
