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 ...
