Effect Module

The 1010 incorporates five effect blocks which are referred
to as "effect modules". Each effect module can be thought of
as a single compact effect. The 1010 therefore operates like
five compact effects connected in series.

The following five types of effect modules are available:

●COMP&WAH

Compression effect and pedal wah (with an external
controller)

●DISTORTION

Analog distortion effects

●EQ

Equalizer for adjusting the tonal quality of the sound

●CHO/FLG

Chorus and modulation effects.

●REV/DLY

Reverb and delay effects for creating a spatial impression

Effect Type

Each effect module contains several effect variations which
are called "effect types". An effect module can normally use
only one effect type at a time, but the COMP&WAH module
can use compressor and wah together. The DISTORTION
module utilizes ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) in addition to
distortion effect. For a list of effect types in each effect
module, please see the table on page 9.

Patches and Groups

A combination of effect modules, each with individual
parameter settings plus the final output level setting is
referred to as a "patch".

The 1010 has two memory areas or "groups" where patches
are stored: the USER group for patches that can be altered
and stored by the user, and the PRESET group for factory
defined read-only patches. There are 12 patches in the USER
group and 30 patches in the PRESET group, for a total of 42
patches.

Bank

The 1010 calls up patches in sets of three, and the foot
pedals serve to switch between patches. Each set of three
patches is referred to as a "bank".

Parameter

The elements which determine the sound of an effect are
referred to as "parameters". Parameter values can be
adjusted for each effect module, to create your own patches
with the 1010.

Mode

The functions of the 1010 can be divided into three different
categories. These are called "modes", as described below.

Play Mode (Please refer to page 4)

In this mode, patches are selected and played. This is the
default mode when power is turned on.

Edit Mode (Please refer to page 7)

In this mode, the parameters of each patch can be edited.

Special Mode (Please refer to page 13)

Serves to return some or all patch data to the factory preset
settings.

Getting Familiar With Some Basic Terms

1.First make sure that the AC adapter of the 1010 is
disconnected and that the amplifier is switched off.
Then connect the 1010 to the guitar and amplifier.

2.Plug in the AC adapter of the 1010 to activate the unit
and switch the amplifier on.

3.Adjust the volume to a suitable position while playing
the instrument.

When the 1010 is turned on by plugging in the AC adapter,
the unit automatically goes into Play mode. In the Play
mode, the following information is shown on the display.

(1) Bank

The currently selected bank is shown in the BANK field
(left side) of the display.

(2) Patch number

The currently selected patch number is shown in the
PATCH field (right side) of the display.

(3) WAH on/off

The wah on/off condition of the currently selected effect is
shown by a dot in the lower right corner of the display.
(Pedal wah is possible when the optional foot pedal FP01
is connected.)

(4) Effect module on/off

The effect module on/off condition in the patch is
indicated by the module cursor indicator.

1.Select the desired group with the PARAM SELECT
key.

In the 1010, patches are divided into the USER group and
the PRESET group. Choose the group from which you
want to select a patch. With each push of the PARAM
SELECT key, the group setting cycles through the
following three settings which are shown on the display.

• A (USER) USER group only

• 0 (PRESET) PRESET group only

• A or 0 (BOTH) USER group and PRESET group

2.Select the bank with the BANK pedal.

A bank is a group of three patches. There are four banks
(named A through d) in the USER group and 10 banks
(0–9) in the PRESET group.When wishing to
continuously select patches from both groups, choose the
BOTH setting. With each push of the BANK pedal, the
next higher bank is selected. (The bank display flashes
during bank selection.)

Merely pressing the BANK pedal does not yet change the
patch. To activate the patch and change the sound, press
one of the pedals 1– 3, as described below.

3.Select the patch by pressing one of the pedals 1 – 3.

The patch number is shown on the right side of the
display. (The bank indication is now constantly lit.)

The output level of the patch is called the patch level. In the
Play mode, the patch level can be adjusted.

1.Press the VALUE + / - keys in the Play mode.

When one of the VALUE + / -keys is pressed, the current

patch level setting is shown on the display as a numeric
value (0 – 30). In this condition, the PARAM4 indicator
and COMP&WAH indicator are flashing. Pressing

VALUE + increases the value and pressing VALUE -

decreases it. To change values continuously, hold down the
key.

The patch level setting change made in this way is only
temporary. If you select a different patch without storing
the new level setting first, the setting will be lost.
In the Play mode, the patch level can be adjusted also for
patches from the PRESET group, but the new level
setting cannot be stored. When wishing to store the level,
store the patch in the USER group.

Fordetails on how to store settings, please refer to page 8.

You can temporarily turn off all effects in a patch. This is
useful for example to compare the original sound with the
sound of a patch.

1. In the Play mode, press the pedal 1 – 3 whose number
is shown on the right side of the display (i.e. the pedal
that was used to select the current patch).

For example,if the patch number shown on the right side
of the display is "1", press pedal 1 to bypass the effects.

2.All effects in the patch are now bypassed and the
original guitar sound is heard.

The display shows "bP" for one second to indicate that
bypass has been selected, and then switches to tuner
indication (if no sound is input from the guitar, the display
shows "--"). The tuner indicator also lights up.

The above explanation uses the expression "original
sound" for the sound that is heard in the bypass
condition. However, since the 1010 uses digital
processing for the signal routed through it (both in the
"effect ON" and effect OFF condition), the output will
not be exactly the same as when directly plugging the
guitar into the amplifier.

3. To return to the Play mode, press one of the pedals 1 ­3 to select a patch.

To return to the previously selected patch, simply press
the BANK pedal.

You can temporarily mute the entire output from the 1010,
which is useful for example when wishing to tune an
instrument on stage.

1. To mute the output in the Play mode, press the pedal
1– 3 whose number is shown on the right side of the
display (i.e. the pedal that was used to select the
current patch), and keep the pedal depressed for more
than one second.

For example, if the patch number shown on the right side
of the display is "1", keep pedal 1 depressed for at least
one second to mute the output.

2. The output of the 1010 is now completely cut off and
the sound of the guitar cannot be heard.

When the pedal is depressed, the indication "bP" appears
first on the display, but if the pedal is kept depressed for
more than one second, the indication changes to " t" to
indicate that the output has been muted. The display shows
the indication " t" for one second and then switches to
tuner indication (if no sound is input from the guitar, the
display shows "--"). The tuner indicator also lights up.

3. To return to the Play mode, press one of the pedals 1 ­3 to select a patch.

To return to the previously selected patch, simply press
the BANK pedal.

The 1010 incorporates an automatic guitar tuning function.
When the 1010 is set to the bypass or mute mode, the tuning
function is automatically enabled.

1.In the Play mode, press the pedal whose number is
shown on the right side of the display (i.e. the pedal
that was used to select the current patch), to activate
the bypass or mute mode.

The tuner indicator lights up.

2.Pick an open string on the guitar.

The display shows the note which is closest to the current
pitch. Tune the guitar to the desired pitch.

3. When the display shows the desired note, perform fine

While the tuner function is being used, the module cursor
indicators serve as a fine tuning meter. When the pitch is
correct, the EQ indicator lights. If the pitch is too high, the
REV/DLY indicator lights, and if it is too low, the
COMP&WAH indicator lights. Watch the indicators while
fine tuning your instrument.

4. To return to the Play mode, press one of the pedals 1 ­3 to select a patch.

To return to the previously selected patch, simply press
the BANK pedal.

The reference frequency of the integrated guitar tuner can
be adjusted for the reference note A.

1.In the Play mode, press the pedal whose number is
shown on the right side of the display (i.e. the pedal that
was used to select the current patch), to activate the
bypass or mute mode. The tuner indicator lights up.

2.Press one of the VALUE + / - keys.

3. The current reference frequency is shown for a brief
duration on the display.

4.While the reference frequency is shown, use the

VALUE +/ -keys to adjust the frequency.

The adjustment range is 435 to 445 Hz. This is shown on
the display as "35"– "45".

The default reference frequency setting that is
established when the 1010 is turned on is 440 Hz.

Using a Foot Pedal

1.Connect the FP01 to the CONTROL IN jack of the

1010.

2.Operate the FP01 while using the 1010 in Play mode.

The volume adjustment made with the foot pedal is
independent from the patch level setting of the individual
patches. The control tap is located between the EQ and
the CHO/FLG module. This allows changing the volume
without reducing reverb or delay intensity.

If wah control is selected in the COMP&WAH module,
this will be activated automatically, and volume control is
disabled.

1.Connect the FP01 to the CONTROL IN jack of the

1010.

2. Select a patch from the COMP&WAH module which
uses pedal wah.

For details on how to select a patch, please refer to page 4.

3. Operate the FP01 while using the 1010 in Play mode.
The pedal now controls pedal wah.

To be able to use wah, set the COMP&WAH module to
ON in Edit mode and set PARAM3 to any setting between
P1 and P5. (For details, please refer to the Edit mode
explanation starting on page 7 and the explanation of
effect types and parameters starting on page 9.)

If wah is enabled in the patch, a dot appears in the lower
right corner of the display.

Use the EXP. OUT jack of the FP01 for connection to the
CONTROL IN jack of the 1010.
Use the stereo cable supplied with the FP01 for making
the connection.

module, set all parameters (PARAM 1 through PARAM

4) to the value "5".

The pedals 1 – 3 and the BANK pedal correspond to the
following effect modules:

• BANK pedal: COMP&WAH

• Pedal 1: DISTORTION

• Pedal 2: CHO/FLG

• Pedal 3: REV/DLY

The effect module ON/OFF setting can also be stored as
part of a patch.

If an edited patch is not stored, the change will be lost when
another patch is selected. To preserve a setting, store the
patch as described below.

1.Press the STORE key in the Edit mode.

This activates the store standby condition.

Storing is possible also in the Play mode.

2. Choose the bank and patch number in which you want
to store the patch.

Use the BANK pedal to first select the bank and then
specify the patch number with the pedals 1 – 3.

Patches cannot be stored in the PRESET group. If a
patch was chosen from the PRESET group, the store
destination will automatically become the USER group.
Specify a bank and patch number in the USER group.

3. If no bank and patch number is specified for a patch
selected from the USER group, the patch will be stored
in the original location.

If no bank and patch number is specified for a patch
selected from the PRESET group, the patch will be stored
in "A1" of the USER group.

When a patch is stored, the patch that was previously
stored in that number will be overwritten (erased). Take
care not to erase a patch that you want to keep. When
wishing to restore all factory preset patches, please refer
to "Reinitializing the 1010 (Special Mode)" on page 13.
Restoring individual patches is not possible.

4. Press the STORE key again. The patch is stored, and
the 1010 reverts to the Play mode.

If the STORE key has not yet been pressed for the second
time, you can use the EDIT key to cancel the store
process and return to the Play mode.

This module combines a compression with a wah effect.
Using the compressor and wah together is also possible.

The compressor maintains the volume at a given level
without impairing the sense of tone and attack. Wah
emphasizes the frequency of the guitar. If the optional foot
pedal FP01 is used, the emphasized frequency range can
be shifted up and down with the pedal.

PARAMETER 1 SENS 0–10
PARAMETER 2 ATTACK 0 – 10
PARAMETER 3 TONE 0–10

WAH P1–P5

Description

(1)SENS (Sensitivity)

Determines the compressor depth. Higher values result
in a more uniform level and longer sustain. A setting of
"0" turns the compressor off. This is suitable for using
only the wah effect.

(2) ATTACK

Determines the time lag between the guitar sound input
and the onset of compression. Lower values produce
faster attack.

(3)TONE

This is a tone-control-type equalizer. The neutral setting
is 0 (zero). Low values emphasize the bass and high
values emphasize the treble range.

(4)WAH

When the foot pedal FP01 is connected, set PARAM3
to any value from P1 to P5. These parameters control
the emphasized frequency range when no pedal is
connected. Higher values mean higher frequency.

This module comprises eight kinds of distortion effects
and eight different amp simulators (which recreate the
sound of picking up a guitar amplifier with a microphone).

When using the unit with a guitar amplifier, choose
settings 1– 8. When monitoring via an audio speaker or
headphones, use settings 9– 16.

This module also comprises ZNR (Zoom Noise
Reduction). Adjust it to match the connected guitar.

This effect gives a dry, cool sound with subdued bass and
accentuated highs. It is well suited for blues or rhythm
backing.

PARAMETER 1 COLOR 1–16
PARAMETER 2 GAIN 1–16
PARAMETER 3 TONE 0–10
PARAMETER 4 ZNR 0–5

Description

(1)COLOR

Determines the distortion color. For normal rhythm
play, use "1" and for rhythm play with amp simulator
effect, use "9".

(2)GAIN

Determines distortion intensity of the overdrive circuit.
Higher values produce more distortion.

(3)TONE

This is a tone-control-type equalizer.

(4)ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction)

Control the ZNR circuit which reduces unwanted noise.
Adjusting the value controls the amount of Zoom Noise
Reduction.

of the signal routed back to the input of the effect
circuit.

(4)MIX

Determines the mixing ratio between direct sound and
delay sound. Higher values produce more delay.

PARAM4 of the effect module COMP&WAH controls the
level setting for each patch. Although it is not an effect, it
is also stored as a parameter along with the other
parameters of the patch.

PARAMETER 4 PATCH LEVEL 0–30

Description

(4) PATCH LEVEL

Determines the output level of the patch.

When the EQ effect module is set to flat response and all
other effect modules are set to OFF, setting this
parameter to "25" results in the same sound as when the

Reinitializing the 1010 (Special Mode)

This special function initializes the unit and returns all 12
patches in the USER group to the factory preset condition.
Use this function with care, because all patches you have
stored in the unit will be irretrievably lost.

1. To protect the speaker, turn the amplifier volume to
minimum, and then turn off the 1010 by disconnecting
the AC adapter.

2. Turn the 1010 back on by connecting the AC adapter
while keeping the STORE key depressed.

The indication "AL" flashes on the display. This shows
that the unit is ready for recalling all patches from the
interna.l ROM.

Safety Precautions

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions
to ensure hazard-free use of the 1010.

Power requirements

The 1010 is powered by the supplied AC adapter .
To prevent malfunction and safety hazards, Do not
use any other kind of AC adapter.

When using the 1010 in an area with a different line
voltage, please consult your local ZOOM distributor
about acquiring a proper AC adapter.

Environment

Avoid using your 1010 in environments where it will
be exposed to:

• Extreme temperature

• High humidity or moisture

• Excessive dust or sand

• Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

Since the 1010 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 1010 or attempt to
modify the product in any way since this can result
in damage to the unit.

Connecting cables to input and output jacks

You should always turn off the power to the 1010
and all other equipment before connecting or
disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to
disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before
moving the 1010.

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference

The 1010 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 1010
further away from the affected equipment. Also,
when fluorescent lights or devices with built-in
motors are close to the 1010, the unit may not
function properly.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 1010. 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.

Please keep this manual in a convenient place
for future reference.
