Features
The 505 II is a sophisticated multi effect processor for guitar with the following features and functions: · Top level performance While similar in price to a compact effect device, the 505 II incorporates a varied palette of 33 effects. Up to nine effects (including ZNR and amp simulator) can be combined in a patch. The memory of the unit holds 36 rewritable patches, providing noholds-barred performance. · Intuitive user interface The user interface has been thoroughly redesigned. Large switches and keys and a rotary selector make the unit extremely simple to operate. Any desired effect can be called up swiftly and without fuss. · Built-in auto-chromatic tuner The integrated tuning function lets you quickly and precisely tune your instrument on stage. · Dual power supply enables operation anywhere The dual power supply principle allows the unit to be powered either from an AC adapter or from four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries. Continuous operation time on batteries is 8 hours with manganese batteries and 28 hours with alkaline batteries. · Compatible with foot switch and pedals An optional foot switch (FS01) or expression pedal (FP01/FP02) can be connected to the CONTROL IN jack. The foot switch is useful for quickly switching patches, and the expression pedal can serve to adjust the volume or effect tone in real time. · Improved successor to 505 While inheriting the sound characteristics of the very successful ZOOM model 505, the 505 II is even more compact and carries a lower price tag. And what's more, it incorporates nine new effects, including distortion effects using sophisticated modeling techniques, practical stage-use and special effects.

Terms Used in This Manual
This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the 505 II documentation. Effect module As shown in the illustration below, the 505 II can be thought of as a combination of several single effects. Each such effect is referred to as an effect module. In addition to modules comprising compressor effects (COMP) or distortion effects (DIST), the 505 II also provides a module for ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) and a guitar amp simulator. Parameters such as effect intensity can be adjusted for each module individually, and modules can be switched on and off as desired.

Effect type Within each effect module, there are several different effects which are referred to as effect types. For example, the modulation effect module (MOD) comprises chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, and other effect types. Only one of these can be selected at a time. An effect type is also often simply referred to as an effect. Effect parameter All effect modules have various parameters that can be adjusted. When likening an effect module to a compact effect device, the parameters can be thought of as the control knobs on the device. Changing the parameter settings will result in changes to items such as effect intensity and tonal characteristics. Patch In the 505 II, effect module combinations are stored and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch comprises information about the on/off status of each effect module, about the effect type used in each module, and about effect parameter settings. The memory of the 505 II can store up to 36 patches. Bank A group of six patches is called a bank. The 505 II manages a total of six banks, labelled A through F. The patches within each bank are numbered 1 through 6. To specify a patch, the 505 II uses the following format: "A1". This means that patch number 1 from bank A is selected. Therefore "b6" would refer to patch 6 from bank b.
Play mode/edit mode The internal status of the 505 II is referred to as the operation mode. The two major modes are play mode, in which you can select patches and use them for playing your instrument, and edit mode, in which you can modify the effects. The [PLAY/EDIT] selector serves for switching between the play mode and edit mode.
Using the unit on batteries
1. Turn the 505 II over and open the cover of the battery compartment on the bottom. Press the latch to release it and then raise the cover. 2. Insert four fresh IEC R6 (size AA) batteries into the battery compartment.
Insert all batteries with the same orientation.

· When ACOUSTIC (Ac) is selected Higher setting values emphasize the characteristic acoustic guitar string sound. · FDR CLN (Fd) is selected Depending on the guitar in use, the sound may be distorted at certain settings. In such cases, reduce the setting value until the distortion disappears. · Other effect type is selected Higher setting values result in stronger distortion.

· 4 BAND EQ is selected Using the 0 value as a reference (flat setting), negative values cause an increasing boost in the low range and positive values cause an increasing boost in the high range. When the EQ module is On, this parameter is always active. Check this parameter if the 4-band EQ effect type setting does not seem to produce the desired results. · PHASE SHIFT is selected Using the 0 value as a reference, changing the value towards negative or positive makes the phaser effect stronger. (Negative values result in reversed phase for the effect sound feedback.) ZOOM 505 II GUITAR

ZNR/AMP
ZNR/AMP module basic parameters
Serves for making the ZNR module and AMP module settings. ZNR is a noise reduction circuit developed by ZOOM, allowing control over the noise threshold. The AMP module is a guitar amp simulator that can be switched on or off.
PEDAL CHORUS (Pedal Chorus)
CP F1 F6 F7 F9 FP
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack, the chorus depth can be adjusted.
FLANGER (Flanger)
This effect produces a unique, undulating sound by shifting the pitch up and down. Higher right-digit setting values result in faster modulation.

ZNR
ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) serves for reducing noise during play pauses or silent passages. Higher setting values result in more efficient noise reduction. Set the value as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off unnaturally.
FLANGER > CHORUS (Flanger > Chorus)
This effect type is a serial connection of flanger and chorus. Higher rightdigit setting values result in faster flanger modulation. (Chorus intensity is fixed.)
AMP (Amp Simulator)
The amp simulator adds the character of a guitar amplifier to the output signal. When this setting is selected, the amp simulator is on and ZNR is off.
PEDAL FLANGER (Pedal Flanger)
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack, the flanger modulation rate can be adjusted. The adjustable range is larger than available with F1 - F9.

Effect Types and Parameters
ZNR+AMP (ZNR + Amp Simulator)
ZNR and amp simulator are both on. Increasing the right- digit value results in more efficient noise reduction. Set the value as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off unnaturally.

DOUBLING (Doubling)
This effect adds very short delay components to the original signal, which gives the sound a more full-bodied character such as when several instruments are playing in unison. Higher right-digit setting values result in more pronounced doubling effect.
OFF (Off)
ZNR and amp simulator are both off.
DOUBLING > CHORUS (Doubling > Chorus) Effect Types and Parameters
This effect type is a serial connection of doubling and chorus. Higher values result in more pronounced doubling effect. (Chorus intensity is fixed.)
MOD
MOD module basic parameters
This effect module comprises effects such as chorus, flanger, and tremolo. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity.
PEDAL DOUBLING (Pedal Doubling)
dP
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack, doubling intensity can be adjusted.
CHORUS (Chorus)
This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted component to the original signal, resulting in full-bodied and expansive sound. Higher setting values result in a more pronounced chorus effect.
