The result is a wide variety of overdrive and distortion sounds. · Total of 16 effects (eight effect types per distortion module) can be combined . Besides distortion effects, PRE DRIVE also contains compressor, pedal wah, auto wah, octaver and other versatile effects. · You can switch between 24 patches to store diverse settings based on your preference. · Integrated auto-chromatic tuner for guitar. You can tune your instrument easily anywhere, any time. You can also leave the tuning function disabled all the time. · Mixing balance of PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE can be varied according to picking intensity, using the auto-parallel connection feature. This provides a wide expression range for solo play. · Optional expression pedal FP01 can be used to control pedal wah, MAIN DRIVE gain, mixing balance for parallel connection and other parameters. Optional foot switch FS01 allows switching PRE DRIVE on and off during a performance. · Dual power supply design allows the unit to be powered from a 9V alkaline battery (6LR61) or an AC adapter. 2 Safety Precautions USAGE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS In this manual, symbols are used to highlight warnings and cautions for you to read so that accidents can be prevented.

To prevent wrong operation, pick only precise single notes. 5 Configuration of Effects The patches of the 510 are created using the PRE DRIVE, MAIN DRIVE, HIGH/LOW (equalizer), and ZNR/AMP (Zoom Noise Reduction/Amp Simulator) modules. You can imagine a module as a box containing various effect settings. PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE each contain eight effect types, from which you can choose one at a time. Each effect type in turn is made up of several effect parameters that determine the sound. Effect parameters can be adjusted, just as you can turn the knobs on a single compact effect device. A patch is a combination of two effects from the modules, each with their effect parameters set to certain values. The effects from PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE can be combined (linked) in two different ways, as described below. The type of link is also stored as part of the patch. · SERIAL PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE are connected in series (one after the other). For example, PRE DRIVE could first apply light distortion, and then MAIN DRIVE could add heavy distortion. SERIAL · PARALLEL PRE DRIVE and MAIN DRIVE are connected in parallel (side by side) and their output is mixed. For example, PRE DRIVE could apply the OCTAVE effect and MAIN DRIVE the OVERDRIVE effect simultaneously.

The 510 is powered on by plugging an AC adapter into this jack. 11 Editing Patches The 510 comes with 24 predefined patches. However, the 510 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. A1 (1) While still in Play mode, select (2) Press the EDIT key to the patch you wish to edit. activate the Edit mode. Immediately after entering Edit mode from Play mode, the topmost parameter cursor indicator (PRE DRIVE) flashes, and the setting of this parameter is shown on the display. The flashing parameter cursor always indicates which parameter is selected for editing. In Edit mode, the EDIT key or the PATCH UP/DOWN pedals serve to select the parameter. Each push of the EDIT key moves the blinking parameter cursor indicator one step down. The PATCH UP/DOWN pedals move the blinking parameter cursor indicator up or down. When the EDIT key is pressed while the lowest indicator (Parameter 8: LEVEL) is flashing, the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) starts flashing. When the EDIT key is pressed while the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) is selected, the Edit mode is terminated and the 510 reverts to the Play mode. PATCH UP moves the blinking parameter cursor one step up and PATCH DOWN moves it one step down. * When the PATCH DOWN pedal is pressed while the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) is flashing, the 510 stays in Edit mode and parameter 1 is selected. 7 Sr A1 There are a total of eight indicators, assigned to parameters 1 ­ 8 from top to bottom, plus the TUNER indicator which is assigned to parameter 9.

HINT $ Master level adjustment # Parameter setting shortcuts @ Effect module on/off switching The PRE DRIVE, MAIN DRIVE, and ZNR/AMP modules can be switched on and off individually, and the status can be stored as part of a patch. 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 together. For example, if GAIN (parameter 4) of the MAIN DRIVE module is set to "Pd" (pedal controls gain) and you want to change it to "12", you would have to press the VALUE + key 12 times. Instead, you can achieve the same effect by using the shortcut function: press the VALUE +/- keys together With the 510 you are also able to set the master level that governs the overall output level. The master 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 level. Each time the power is turned on it has to be set again. 13 Storing Patches If you have edited (altered) a patch and turn the 510 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.

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: 19 effects · PRE DRIVE Booster, Rhythm, Light Overdrive, Dynamic Overdrive, Compressor, Auto Wah, Pedal Wah, Octave · MAIN DRIVE Overdrive, Blues Overdrive, Fat Drive, Distortion, Fuzz, Grunge, Lead, Metal · Equalizer · ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) · Amp Simulator Maximum simultaneous effects: 5 6 banks x 4 patches = 24 patches (edit + store possible) 18 bit, 128 times oversampling 16 bit, linear 44.1 kHz Guitar input (standard monaural phone jack) Rated input level: -20 dBm Input impedance: 470 kilohms Combined line/headphone output (standard stereo phone jack) Max. output level: +6 dBm Output load impedance: 10 kilohms or more DIRECT OUT (standard monaural phone jack) 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 49 (H) mm 480 g (without batteries) Banks and Patches: Analog/Digital Conversion: Digital/Analog Conversion: Sampling Frequency: Input: Outputs: Control Input: Display: Power Requirements: Dimensions: Weight: * 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. A1 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.
