The right patch pedal switches to the next patch and the left patch pedal switches to the previous patch. In the initial condition, the 507 is set up so that the patch pedals select patches continuously, but you can also set up the unit so that patches are switched only within a certain bank of four patches. [For details, see section 9 Patch Switching (Application: Bank Hold ON).] Banks are selected with the VALUE +/keys. Press the VALUE+ key to select the next bank, and the VALUE- key to select the previous bank. For example, to switch from Patch 2, Bank A to Patch 3, Bank C, the patch pedal would have to be pressed nine times. Instead, you can press the VALUE+ key twice to switch to Bank C, and then press the patch pedal (UP) just once to select Patch 3.

In this mode, the auto-chromatic tuning function via the LED display is also active. Tuner ON/OFF Pressing the EDIT key and the STORE key simultaneously for more than one second in Play mode will allow you to select whether or not to activate the tuning function in Bypass mode. When you change the setting, the display will show"tunEr oFF" (tuning function off) or "tunEr on" (tuning function on) according to the setting. Calibration Select reference pitch for auto-chromatic guitar tuner (calibration). * The reference pitch (A) can be adjusted in the range from 435 to 445 Hz. When the BANK key is pressed in Bypass/Tuner mode, this is shown as "35" to "45" on the display for a second. Adjust to the suitable value. At power-on, the setting is 440 Hz (40). Bypass mode Pressing both patch pedals simultaneously activates the Bypass mode. Currently selected patch is displayed Press both pedals together Bypass ON/OFF The bypass function is invoked by pressing the left and right patch pedals simultaneously. To cancel the Bypass/Tuner mode, just press one of the patch pedals. Press Release immediately Tuning function (only when the tuning function is ON) To cancel the Bypass mode, simply press one of the patch pedals. The unit then reverts to the previously selected patch. Tuner mode The 507 is initially set so that the auto-chromatic tuning function for the guitar activates automatically when the Bypass mode is invoked. In Bypass mode, pick an open string to be tuned. The closest note will be shown on the display. Input signal standby condition Regular tuning & w Do = C Do# = C# Regular tuning & #w & 4th string Re# = D# Regular tuning & #w 6th string 1st string Fa# = F# Regular tuning & w La = A La# = A# Regular tuning 5th string & #w & w w w Mi = E Fa = F & w So = G So# = G# 3rd string & #w & w Re = D & & #w Si = B 2nd string When the tuning function is active, the parameter cursor LEDs serve as tuning meter, designed to enhance tuning precision during fine adjustments. Turning tuning function off If you do not want to activate the tuning function in Bypass Pitch is too high Correctly tuned Pitch is too low mode, press the STORE and EDIT keys simultaneously for more than one second in Play mode. The tuning function will be turned off, and this setting will be stored even when the power is turned off. When you turn the function off, the display will show "tunEr oFF" (tuning function off). To turn the tuning function on, press the same keys simultaneously again. The display will show "tunEr on" (tuning function on). NOTE: Please note that the tuning function may not operate properly if other effect modules between the guitar and the 507 are on. 3 What Are Banks and Patches? · PATCH A group of the settings for a certain effect type is called a PATCH. The 507 comes with 24 preset patches which can be changed (edited) by the user. 4 PATCH LIST The 507 has memory capacity for 24 patches. At the factory, these are programmed with recommended settings. The user can freely change the contents of any patch, and it is also possible to restore the factory settings.

INPUT jack Serves for connecting the guitar. When the unit is powered by the battery, this jack also functions as the power on/off switch. The 507 is powered on by plugging a shielded cable into this jack. When the unit is not in use, the cable should be disconnected to prevent battery drain. DC IN (AC adapter) jack Serves for connecting an AC adapter (Zoom AD-0006) which delivers 9 VDC, 300 mA with a "center minus" plug configuration. The 507 is powered on by plugging an AC adapter into this jack. CONTROL IN jack When the optional FP01 expression pedal and FS01 foot switch are connected to this jack it can serve as the external control jack. When the optional expression pedal FP01 is connected, it can serve for controlling the mix level of the effect. When the optional foot switch FS01 is connected, chorus can be switched on or off externally. INPUT DC 9V CONTROL IN OUTPUT OUTPUT jack This jack is for the output signal from the 507. You can connect either a single guitar amplifier, using a monaural shielded cable, or two guitar amplifiers, using a Y-type stereo shielded cable, or a pair of stereo headphones. If the volume level is low when using headphones, use headphones with low impedance (32 ohms or less). ZOOM CORPORATION 300mA MADE IN JAPAN [PHONES] 11 Editing Patches The 507 comes with 24 predefined patches. However, the 507 offers many more possibilities for combining effects in innovative ways. To discover these possibilities, we recommend that you try changing the parameters (elements that make up patches) to create your own patches. This operation is called editing, and is done in the Edit mode. To switch from normal Play mode to Edit mode, press the EDIT key briefly (for less than 1 second). * Note that if the EDIT key is held down for 1 second or longer, the Bank Hold mode will be activated. The correlations between parameter cursor LEDs and parameters are shown below. The asterisked parameters are effective only when the DLY+REV reverb type has been selected as the parameter at the highest (first) position. · 1st parameter cursor LED: Reverb type selection · 2nd parameter cursor LED:Reverb time/delay time (*) setting · 3rd parameter cursor LED: Reverb tone/delay feedback (*) setting · 4th parameter cursor LED: Reverb/delay + reverb (*) mix setting · 5th parameter cursor LED: Chorus module setting A1 H1 (1) While still in Play mode, select the patch you wish to edit. (2) Press the EDIT key to activate the Edit mode. Immediately after switching from Play mode to Edit mode, the parameter indicator of the currently selected Reverb type (HALL, ROOM, PLATE, DLY+REV) flashes, and the setting for that parameter is displayed. This means that the Reverb type parameter has been selected for editing. Use the VALUE +/- keys to change parameters. For an explanation of the various parameters, see 12 Effect Parameters. When the EDIT key is pressed while the fifth parameter cursor LED flashes, Edit mode is canceled and the unit returns to Play mode. C1 C9 C9 A1 In Edit mode, the EDIT key is used for selecting the parameter for editing. Each time the EDIT key is pressed the parameter cursor moves one position down. The flashing position shows which parameter is selected for editing. (1) Use the EDIT key or patch pedal to select the parameter you wish to change. (2) Use the VALUE +/- keys to adjust the parameter. (3) While the eighth parameter cursor LED is flashing, press the EDIT key to return to Play mode. 12 Effect Parameters PARAMETER 1 Selects the reverb type for the REVERB/DLY+REV module. Four types can be selected for each of HALL, ROOM PLATE and DELAY+REVERB, for a total of 16 types. Range of setting H1 Reverb type ­ H4 , r1 ­ r4 , 1 ­ 4 , 1 ­ 4 By pressing either the + or - key, the preceding or following reverb type can be selected. By pressing both + and - keys simultaneously, selection moves to the first effect type of the next group. The features of the types are as follows: HALL 1-4 ROOM 1-4 PLATE 1-4 DELAY+REVERB effect types H1 ­ H4 r1 ­ r4 1 ­ 4 1 ­ 4 Effect types combining delay (echo effect) and reverb (reverberation effect). * When this effect type is selected, the contents of parameters 2-4 change. Reverb simulating the acoustics of a hall. Reverb simulating the acoustics of a room. Reverb simulating the acoustics of a metal plate. PARAMETER 2 When a HALL, ROOM, or PLATE reverb type has been selected Sets the reverb time (length of reverb). When a DELAY+REVERB reverb type has been selected Sets the delay time in 10 ms steps (gap between the original sound and delay sound, and between delay sounds). Range of setting Reverb time/delay time 1 30 The larger the value, the longer the reverb time. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. When the +/- keys are pressed simultaneously, the value changes in tens--10, 20, 30, etc. Range of setting 1 99 The larger the value, the longer the gap between the original sound and the delay sound, and between the delay sounds. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. When the +/- keys are pressed simultaneously, the value changes in tens--10, 20...90. PARAMETER 3 TONE/FB (Tone/feedback) When a HALL, ROOM, or PLATE reverb type has been selected Adjusts the reverb tone. When a DELAY+REVERB reverb type has been selected Adjusts the feedback of the delay sound. Range of setting 0 50 Larger values result in a more pronounced high-range reverb, for a bright tone. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. When the +/- keys are pressed simultaneously, the value changes in tens--10, 20...50. Range of setting 0 50 Larger values result in more frequent repetitions. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. When the +/- keys are pressed simultaneously, the value changes in tens-10, 20...50. PARAMETER 4 When a HALL, ROOM, or PLATE reverb type has been selected Adjusts the mix of the reverb sound. When a DELAY+REVERB reverb type has been selected Adjusts the mix of the delay sound and reverb sound. Larger values result in a greater volume of delay sound and reverb sound. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or key is pressed. When the +/- keys are pressed simultaneously, the value changes in tens--10, 20...50. Range of setting REVERB MIX 0 50 Larger values result in a greater volume of reverb sound. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. When the +/- keys are pressed simultaneously, the value changes in tens--10, 20...50. Range of setting 0 50 PARAMETER 5 Sets the depth effect of the CHORUS module and the position for connecting the CHORUS module. Range of setting c1 CHORUS c9 C1 C9 In the range from c1 to c9, the CHORUS module is connected before the REVERB/DLY+REV module. Higher values result in a deeper effect. In the range from C1 to C6, the CHORUS module is connected after the REVERB/DLY+REV module. Higher values result in a deeper effect. The C7 - C9 setting results in a flanger effect. The value changes in increments or decrements of 1 each time the + or - key is pressed. When you press the + and - keys simultaneously, the value will skip from c1 to C1, and so forth. If you press both left and right patch pedals simultaneously while the CHORUS parameter is selected, you can turn the chorus effect on and off. When you turn the chorus effect off, the display will show "oF". HINT Selection ! change of parameters to As described in 11. Editing Patches, parameters to be edited are selected by repeatedly pressing the EDIT key, but you can also use the patch pedals for this purpose. Press the PATCH UP pedal (right patch pedal) to move the parameter cursor from the bottom up. Press the PATCH DOWN pedal (left patch pedal) to move the parameter cursor from the top down. HINT · Switching REVERB/DLY+REV module on and off With parameters 1-4 selected, switch the REVERB/DLY+REV module off by pressing the left and right patch pedals simultaneously. In that status, switch the REVERB/DLY+REV module on by pressing the left and right patch pedals simultaneously. The parameter settings will return to their original values (parameter values immediately prior to being switched off). Switching CHORUS module on and off With parameter 5 selected, switch the CHORUS module off by pressing the left and right patch pedals simultaneously. EFFECT OFF = HINT # Parameter setting shortcut HINT $ Master level adjustment Normally, parameter values are set by tapping the VALUE+ or VALUE - key once for each increment or decrement. For quick operation, you can use the shortcut function. This is activated in the Edit mode by pressing both VALUE keys simultaneously. In normal operation, for example, if the reverb type of the REVERB/DLY+REV module is set to h1 (HALL1) and you wish to switch this to d3 (DLY+REV3), you would have to press the VALUE+ key 14 times. Instead, you can achieve the same effect by the shortcut operation, in which you twice press the VALUE +/- keys simultaneously to instantly bring up d1 (DLY+REV1), and then press the VALUE+ key twice to arrive at the target reverb type. With the 507 you are also able to set the master effect level that governs the overall effect output level. The master effect level is adjusted in Play mode. Hold the VALUE +/- keys down simultaneously for at least 1 second. The current master level will be displayed for 1 second. While the level is being displayed, use the VALUE +/keys to change it. The setting range is 0-50. (Default value = 40) The unit does not store the setting for the master effect level. Each time the power is turned on it has to be set again. and off @ Switching effect modules on The two effect modules of the 507, REVERB/DLY+REV and CHORUS, can be thought of as two compact effectors connected in a row (or three compact effectors when DLY+REV is selected as the reverb type). These two modules can be switched on and off independently just as with compact effectors, and their statuses can be stored as patches. o In the off status, switch the CHORUS module on by pressing the left and right patch pedals simultaneously. The parameter setting will return to its original value. 13 Storing Patches If you have edited (altered) a patch and turn the 507 off without storing the patch, the patch will revert to its old setting. To store an edited patch, use the following simple procedure. Storing can be carried out in both Play mode and Edit mode. After you have edited the patch, press the STORE key. If the unit is currently in Play mode, release the key before 1 second has elapsed, otherwise the Direct Load function will be activated. The display starts to flash. This condition is called the store standby condition. If you wish, you can abandon the store procedure at this point by pressing the EDIT key. If you press the STORE key once more, the contents of the patch are updated. You can also change the patch number before storing, so that the edited patch will be stored in a different number. In this case, the original patch that was used as a starting point for editing will not be changed. (2) Press the STORE key. (Unit enters store standby mode.) (4) Press the STORE key once more. (Store process is completed.) A1 A1 b4 b4 b4 (1) Edit the patch as desired. (3) Select the patch for storing. 14 Replacing the Battery If the tuning indicator flashes while the unit is being powered from the battery, the battery is exhausted and should be replaced as described below. Since the 507 has fairly high rated power consumption, use only a 6LR61 9 V (alkaline) battery. Using another kind of battery will result in shorter operation. 1. Turn the 507 upside down and open the cover of the battery compartment. (Push the catch to unlock the cover, then lift it up.) 2. Remove the battery from the compartment and disconnect the battery cable. (Grasp the terminal strip and do not pull at the cable.) 3. Connect the battery cable to the new battery, taking care to observe correct polarity (+/-). Then insert the battery into the battery compartment. 4. Close the battery compartment cover, taking care not to pinch the cable. (Make sure that the cover is properly locked.) Cover 6LR61 9 V (alkaline) battery Cable 15 Returning Patches to Factory Settings The 507 comes with 24 predefined patches that have been programmed at the factory. Also after you have edited and stored your own patches, you can return to the factory default settings at any time. This process is called "recalling". Returning all 24 patches to the original contents and resetting the Bank Hold and Direct Load functions is called "all initialize". The Recall mode is separate from the Play mode and Edit mode. You cannot switch directly to Recall mode from these modes. The Recall mode can only be activated by turning the unit on in a special way, as described below. 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn the unit off by disconnecting the AC adapter or the guitar input cable. Keep the STORE key depressed and turn the unit on. The indication "AL" flashes on the display. To perform "all initialize", press the STORE key once more in this condition. The flashing rate increases and the initialization procedure is carried out. When it is completed, the unit automatically enters the Play mode. 5. When wishing to recall only a particular patch, select the patch number in step 3, using the same procedure as for normal patch selection. 6. When the desired patch has been selected, press the STORE key. The flashing rate increases and the contents of the selected patch are recalled. 7. Recalling of individual patches can be carried out continuously. When you wish to terminate the process, press the EDIT key. The unit then returns to the Play mode. Turning the unit off also terminates the recall condition. 16 Specifications Effects: Effect Modules: Banks and Patches: Analog/Digital Conversion: Digital/Analog Conversion: Sampling Frequency: Input: Rated input level: Input impedance: Output: Control Input: Display: Power Requirements: Dimensions: Weight: Maximum simultaneous effects -- 3 effects 17 types Hall Reverb 1-4, Room Reverb 1-4, Plate Reverb 1-4, Delay+Reverb 1-4, Chorus Maximum simultaneous modules -- 2 modules 6 banks x 4 patches = 24 patches (edit + store possible) 18 bit, 128 times oversampling 16 bit, linear 31.25 kHz Guitar input (standard monaural phone jack) -20 dBm 470 kilohms Combined line/headphone output (standard stereo phone jack) Max. output level: +6 dBm Output load impedance: 10 kilohms or more For optional FP01 or FS01 2-digit, 7-segment LED, tuning indicator, parameter cursor indicator Optional AC adapter 9 VDC, 300 mA (Zoom AD-0006) Battery: 6LR61 9 V (alkaline) battery x 1 Battery life: Approx. 4 h continuous operation 147 (W) x 157 (D) x 48 (H) mm 480 g (without batteries) * 0 dBm = 0.775 Vrms * Design and specifications subject to change without notice. 9 Patch Switching (Application: Bank Hold ON) In the initial setting, the patch pedal switches all patches in order, regardless of the bank divisions. The bank hold function limits switching to the four patches within a bank. When this function is activated, the patch pedals switch in order between the patches in the current bank only. To activate this function, hold the EDIT key down for at least 1 second in Play mode. The BANK HOLD indicator will light. To turn the function off, again hold the EDIT key down for at least 1 second. The BANK HOLD indicator will go off. Banks can be switched using the VALUE +/- keys. Bank Hold ON Keeping the EDIT key depressed for at least 1 second activates Bank Hold. To cancel Bank Hold, press the EDIT key again for 1 second. Bank switching Banks A, b, C, d, E, F can be switched. PATCH DOWN PATCH UP Patch switching 4 patches within bank can be switched.

This is called Direct Load ON. This switching principle is most convenient when the desired patches are adjacent or close to each other. However, when wanting to switch to a patch that is further away, it may be desirable not to activate the sound of the other patches in between. When this is desired, turn the Direct Load function off as follows. When Direct Load has been turned off, switching banks and patches has no effect until the user confirms the selection. DIRECT LOAD OFF Keeping STORE key depressed for 1 second turns Direct Load off. The same procedure serves to turn it on. For example, when going from patch 1 to patch 4 with Direct Load active, patches 2 and 3 will briefly be heard when the patch UP pedal is pressed three times. When Direct Load is off, pressing the patch UP pedal will change the number on the display (the number flashes), but until the user confirms the choice, the sound remains that of patch 1. To turn Direct Load on or off, keep the STORE key depressed for at least 1 second. To confirm a choice after selecting a patch with Direct Load off, press both patch pedals simultaneously. Example: Switching from patch 1 to patch 4 A1 BA NK DO WN PATCH DOWN UP PATCH UP Bank switching Banks A, b, C, d, E, F can be switched. Patch switching Patches can be switched. Confirming a patch When display indication flashes, pressing both patch pedals together confirms the patch and switches the output sound.
