IN COMP/EFX DRIVE Effect module EQ ZNR AMP MODULATION DELAY REVERB OUT Warning Caution Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the G1/G1X. Caution Connecting cables and input and output jacks You should always turn off the power to the G1/G1X and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection cables and the power cord before moving the G1/G1X. As shown in the illustration above, the G1/G1X 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 such as DRIVE and MODULATION, the G1/G1X also provides a module for noise reduction and amp simulation (ZNR/AMP). Parameters such as effect intensity can be adjusted for each module individually, and modules can be switched on and off. status of each effect module, about the effect type used in each module, and about effect parameter settings. The internal memory of the G1/G1X can store up to 80 patches. Bank and area A group of ten patches is called a bank. The memory of the G1/G1X comprises a total of eight banks, labelled with letters A to d and numbers 0 to 3. Banks A ­ d are the user area which allows read/ write. 0 ­ 3 form the preset area of read-only patches. The patches within each BANK 3 PATCH 0 bank are numbered 0 BANK d BANK C 0 PATCH 1 PATCH BANK b 0 through 9. To specify a PATCH BANK A 0PATCH 1 PATCH PATCH 1 PATCH 9 PATCH 0 1 patch of the G1/G1X, you PATCH PATCH 1 PATCH 9 use the format "A1" (patch PATCH 9 PATCH9 PATCH 9 number 1 from bank A), "06" (patch number 6 from bank 0), etc. Effect type Some effect modules have several different effects which are referred to as effect types. For example, the MODULATION module comprises chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, and other effect types. Only one of these can be selected at a time. Power requirements Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we Warning recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever possible. When powering the unit from batteries, use only alkaline types. [AC adapter operation] · Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 V DC, 300 mA and is equipped with a "center minus" plug (Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter other than the specified type may damage the unit and pose a safety hazard. · Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies the rated voltage required by the adapter. · When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet, always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull at the cable. · During lightning or when not using the unit for an extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC outlet. Alterations Warning Never open the case of the G1/G1X or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit. Volume Caution Effect parameter All effect modules have various parameters that can be adjusted. These are called effect parameters. When thinking of an effect module as a compact effect, the parameters change the tone and effect intensity similar to the knobs on the device. Do not use the G1/G1X at a loud volume for a long time since this can cause hearing impairment. Mode The internal status of the G1/G1X is referred to as the operation mode. In "play mode" you can select patches and use them for playing your instrument. In "edit mode" you can modify the effects, and there is also a "rhythm mode" in which you can make settings for the rhythm function. The module selector serves for switching between these three modes. Usage Precautions Electrical interference For safety considerations, the G1/G1X has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the G1/G1X, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely. With any type of digital control device, the G1/G1X included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage. Patch In the G1/G1X, effect module combinations are stored and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch comprises information about the on/off [Battery operation] · Use four conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries (alkaline). · The G1/G1X cannot be used for recharging. · Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure you choose the correct type. · When not using the unit for an extended period, remove the batteries from the unit. · If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery compartment and the battery terminals carefully to remove all remnants of battery fluid. · While using the unit, the battery compartment cover should be closed.

Turn power on When using the G1/G1X on batteries, plug a shielded cable with mono phone plug into the [INPUT] jack on the rear panel of the G1/G1X. When using the G1/G1X with the AC adapter, plug the adapter into the outlet and plug the cable from the adapter into the [DC IN] jack on the G1/G1X. Turn the guitar amplifier on and adjust the volume to a suitable position. Adjust the master level To adjust the master level in play mode, you can use the [VALUE] knob. When you turn the [VALUE] knob, the master level setting is shown for a time on the display. 80 The master level setting range is 0 ­ 98, 1.0. It will be reset to 80 when the unit is turned off and then on again. Set the G1/G1X to play mode If the Module selector is set to a position other than "PLAY", set it to "PLAY". The currently selected bank and patch number are shown on the display. NOTE When using headphones, this knob adjusts the listening volume. A0 Bank name Patch number HINT Immediately after turning the G1/G1X on, the unit will be in play mode, even if the Module selector is set to a position other than "PLAY". Select a patch To switch the patch, press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches. Pressing the [W] foot switch calls up the next lower patch, and pressing the [Q] foot switch calls up the next higher patch. Repeatedly pressing one foot switch cycles through patches in the order A0 ­ A9 ... d0 ­ d9 00 ­ 09 ... 30 ­ 39 A0, or the reverse order. Directly selecting a bank To select the banks A - d, 0 - 3 directly, use the [BANK UP·TAP] key. Each push of the key switches to the next higher bank. NOTE With the G1, using the foot switch (FS01) to switch banks is also possible ( p. 16). 6 ZOOM G1/G1X ZOOM G1/G1X 7 Using the Tuner Using the Tuner The G1/G1X incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner. To use the tuner function, the built-in effects must be bypassed (temporarily turned off) or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off). Adjusting the reference pitch of the tuner If required, you can fine-adjust the reference pitch of the G1/G1X tuner. Turn the [VALUE] knob. Switch to bypass or mute Setting the G1/G1X to the bypass state In play mode or rhythm mode ( p. 10), press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together briefly and release. When you turn the [VALUE] knob in the bypass/mute condition, the current reference pitch is shown for a time on the display. The default setting is 40 (center A = 440 Hz). BP MT 40 While the reference pitch is shown, turn the [VALUE] knob to adjust the value in the range from 35 - 45 (center A = 435 to 445 Hz). Setting the G1/G1X to the mute state In play mode or rhythm mode ( p. 10), press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together and hold for at least 1 second. NOTE The bypass or mute condition cannot be activated when the unit is in edit mode. 42 Patch change at bypass/mute When you press both [Q]/[W] foot switches together while playing your instrument, the sound may change momentarily just before the bypass/mute condition is activated. This is because the G1/G1X switches to the next higher or lower patch when one of the foot switches is pressed slightly earlier. (When you cancel the bypass/mute condition, the original patch number will be active again.) This behavior is not a defect. It is due to the very high speed at which the G1/G1X responds to patch switching. To prevent the sound change caused by the above condition, do not produce sound with your instrument until the bypass/mute condition is fully established. Shortly after you release the [VALUE] knob, the display indication will revert to the previous condition. NOTE When you turn the G1/G1X off and on again, the reference pitch setting will be reset to 40 (center A = 440 Hz). Return to play mode Press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches. Tune your instrument Play the open string to tune, and adjust the pitch. The right side of the display shows a symbol that indicates by how much the tuning is off. Pitch is high Pitch is correct Pitch is low A8 A8 Tune the other strings in the same way. Indication turns faster the more the pitch is off The left side of the display shows the note which is closest to the current pitch. 8 ZOOM G1/G1X ZOOM G1/G1X 9 Using the Rhythm Function Using the Rhythm Function Adjust the rhythm volume The G1/G1X has a built-in rhythm function that plays realistic drum sounds in various patterns. The rhythm function is available in play mode and in rhythm mode. This section describes how to use the function in rhythm mode. To adjust the rhythm volume, turn the [VALUE] knob. When you turn the [VALUE] knob, the current setting (0 ­ 30) is shown for a time on the display. 25 Select rhythm mode Set the Module selector to the "RHYTHM" position. The number of the currently selected rhythm pattern (01 ­ 40) appears on the display. You cannot switch patches or adjust the master level. Adjust the tempo The rhythm pattern tempo can be adjusted in the range of 40 ­ 250 BPM (beats per minute). 01 HINT · The rhythm function can also be used in play mode. · In play mode, you cannot switch the rhythm pattern or adjust the rhythm volume and tempo. To continuously change the rhythm tempo, hit the [BANK UP·TAP] key once and then turn the [VALUE] knob while the tempo value is being shown on the display. To manually specify the tempo, hit the [BANK UP·TAP] key at least twice in the desired interval. The G1/G1X automatically detects the interval in which the key is pressed the second and subsequent times, and sets the tempo accordingly (tap tempo function). While the above steps are carried out, the current tempo value (40 ­ 250) is shown for a time on the display. For values in the range from 100 to 199, a dot is shown in the bottom right corner (after the second digit). For values of 200 and above, dots are shown after the first and second digits. Start the rhythm function To start the rhythm function, press the RHYTHM [R/P] key. NOTE While the rhythm is playing, the reverb effect is disabled. Select a rhythm pattern The G1/G1X has 40 built-in rhythm patterns.

B4 14 ZOOM G1/G1X ZOOM G1/G1X 15 Using a Foot Switch or Pedal Changing the Way Patches Are Called Up In normal operation, changing a patch in play mode of the G1/G1X will be active immediately. This means that the sound changes straight away when you make the selection. In some cases, such as when the new patch is at a memory location not adjacent to the current one, this method may not be ideal, because the sound will change in various ways as you switch through the patches. In such a case, you may want to change the patch selection method to "pre-select". In this mode, you first select the patch to use next, and then perform an additional step to activate the patch. To change G1/G1X operation to pre-select, perform the following steps. Turn power to the G1/G1X on while holding down the [Q] foot switch. The indication "PrE-SElEct" scrolls on the display during startup. more, the G1 detects the interval and automatically adjusts the tempo accordingly (tap tempo function). Edit mode Display Control target DELAY module REVERB module DP RP The foot switch has no effect. HINT · In the section "Effect Types and Parameters" (page 19 ­ 24), a pedal symbol indicates which effect type/parameter is controlled by the pedal. · When a module has been selected as control target, but the effect type currently selected for that module does not have a pedal symbol, the expression pedal has no effect. Using the expression pedal With the G1, an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) can be connected to the [CONTROL IN] jack and used as a volume pedal or for adjusting a certain parameter of an effect type in real time. With the G1X, the built-in expression pedal can be used in the same way. The function of the expression pedal can be selected and stored individually for each patch. 1. 3. 2. In play mode, use the [W]/[Q] foot switches to specify the patch to use next. You can use the [BANK UP·TAP] key or a foot switch (FS01) connected to the [CONTROL IN] jack to switch only the bank (The G1X does not support use of a foot switch.) The new bank or patch number specified by the above step flashes on the display. The sound does not change yet. When you have specified the patch to use, press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together. The patch change is accepted, the display changes from flashing to permanently lit, and the sound changes. 5. Store the patch as required. The expression pedal setting is stored for that patch. Select this patch in play mode, and operate the expression pedal. The respective parameter changes when you operate the pedal (pushing the pedal down has the same effect as increasing the value of the parameter). In the bypass condition, the expression pedal always functions as volume pedal, regardless of the setting made in step 4. B0 4. B0 1. To use an expression pedal with the G1, plug the FP01 or FP02 into the [CONTROL IN] jack and turn on the power. Select the patch in which to use the expression pedal. 6.
