USAGE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM PLAYER 2100 (called 2100 in this manual). The 2100 is a multi-effects

unit with the following features:

Versatile effects

The 2100 has 33 versatile effects. You can combine up to seven effects. In particular, the 2100 offers thirteen distortion effects (for the DIST module) for discerning guitarists, including Clean, Distortion, Acoustic simulator, etc. It also features an Amp simulator and ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction).

Abundant preset patches

You can use up to 60 patches, including 30 PRESET patches and 30 USER patches.

32-second Sampler function (Quick guide See page 12.)

ZOOM has developed a “Sampler” function that allows you to record a phrase up to 32 seconds long from a CD and play back the data at lower speeds. This function also plays data without changing the pitch at lower speeds and improves tonal quality. You can also record your own performance as a one-man jam session. This can be of great help in your guitar education.

Customize/Jam play (Quick guide See page 8 – 9.)

The 2100 features a [FUNCTION] switch to which you can assign a function. The following four functions are available :

1.Bank Down mode: Switches to one bank number lower .

2.Manual mode: Switches each effect on and off during performance.

3.Control mode: Enables you to use the RTM function.

4.Jam Play mode: Allows you to use three basic samplers that can be recorded for up to five seconds simultaneously.

RTM (Real Time Modulation) function (Quick guide See page 14.)

Connecting an optional foot pedal FP01/FP02 or using the [FUNCTION] switch enables you to adjust the following parameters in real-time :

1.Volume control

2.COMP/WAH module effects

3.Pedal Pitch Shifter in the MOD module

4.Delay in the MOD module (Sound-on-sound)

Flexible use for performance (Quick guide See page 5.)

The patches you create at home might sound completely different in the studio at high volume. Don’t worry. It is easy to correct the sound. You can adjust the gain of the distortion effects, the reverberation of the reverb effects, and the presence without changing the patch parameters.

Great support on the stage (Quick guide See page 7.)

The 2100 has an auto chromatic tuner for guitars, which can be used on stage easily.

Please read this manual carefully so you can understand the functions of your 2100 and to

ensure optimum performance and reliability for an extended period of time.

PRESET group
USER group
A “patch” is a unit of memory to which you store and from which you recall effect settings. That is, a “patch” is a combination of up to seven effect modules and stores the parameter settings of those effect modules.
You can store a patch in one of two groups: rewritable USER group and read-only PRESET group. Each group can store up to 30 patches. A total of up to 60 patches can be stored in the 2100.
You recall any three patches as a set and use foot switches 1–3 on the front panel to switch among these three patches. This combination set of three patches is called a “bank.” The USER group and the PRESET group have ten banks (0–9) each.
Patch / Group / Bank
An effect module is an effect that processes or adds effects to a sound, such as compact-type effects including compressor and delay. You can combine up to seven effect modules in the 2100.
The diagram at the bottom of this page shows the signal flow through the effect modules in the 2100.
Effect module

Glossary

This section describes the terminology for the 2100 used in this manual.

● Effect parameters: These parameters determine the intensity and the signal flow of each effect module. The effect parameter settings will be stored for each patch individually.

● Patch parameters: These parameters determine the settings independently of each effect module and include the final level and the ZNR setting of a patch.

The patch parameter settings will be stored for each patch individually.

● Global parameters: These parameters are shared by all patches globally. Changes to the global parameters do not take effect when you switch between patches. They take effect when you turn off the power to the unit.

The 2100 operates in five modes:

Play mode: Allows you to select patches and use the effects during performance.

Manual mode: Allows you to turn the modules on and off during performance.

Edit mode: Allows you to edit the effect parameters and patch parameters of the currently-selected patch.

Store mode: Allows you to store the edited patch into memory or move a patch to another memory location.

Special mode: This mode offers a special function that allows you to reset the internal settings and all patches in the USER group (or a particular patch in the USER group) to the factory default settings.

Effect type and parameters

Each effect module of the 2100 offers multiple effects, called “effect types.” You can select one effect type for each effect module.

“Parameters” are settings that you can modify. The parameters on the 2100 include:

RTM

RTM is an acronym for Real-time Modulation. It is a function that enables you to change a particular effect parameter or volume setting using the [FUNCTION] switch on the front panel or an optional foot pedal FP01 or FP02.

Connections

Connect the volume-adjustable headphone jack of a sound source, such as a CD player, to the AUX IN jack using a stereo mini plug. The signal input from the AUX IN jack will be mixed with the effected guitar signal and routed to the OUTPUT jack. You can also record input signals from the AUX IN jack on the 2100 using the Sampler function.

Use a monaural cable to connect one amplifier to the OUTPUT jack. Use a stereo Y-cable to connect two amplifiers to the OUTPUT jack. If you use two amplifiers, you will get a great sense of spaciousness when you use stereo effects. You can also connect headphones to the OUTPUT jack.

Panel display in Play mode

The display and LEDs on the panel indicate the following

information in Play mode:

BANK number PATCH number

BOTH indicator

 

 

 

PRESET indicator

 

 

BANK number: The number of the currently-selected bank (0–9) appears.

PATCH number: The number of the currentlyselected patch (1–3) appears.

BOTH indicator: This indicator indicates the currently-available group. When a dot (.) lights up, you can use both the USER group and the PRESET

group. When the dot is turned off, you can use either one of these groups.

PRESET indicator: This indicator indicates the currently-selected group. When a dot (.) lights up, it indicates that the PRESET group has been selected. When the dot is turned off, the USER group has been selected.

Press the [UTILITY] key in Play mode.

The [UTlLITY] key is used to access the global

parameters that are shared by all patches.

Use the parameter select keys to choose the desired global parameter.

The LED of the currently-selected global

parameter flashes.

Use the [VALUE +/–] key to edit the value.

The following parameters are adjustable in the specific range:

Master Level

Enables you to set the final volume level of the 2100 in the range of 1 through 30.

Gain Trim

Enables you to set the intensity of distortion (the input gain of the gain parameter) when you use a distortion effect (type 2–6) for the DIST module. This parameter is set to “7” when you turn on the power to the unit.

Gain Trim

GAIN

Make fine adjustments according to the acoustic HINT environment and the guitar being used.

Presence

Enables you to adjust the tonal quality of the presence in the range of –12 to +12.

Amp Sim (Amp Simulator)

You can apply the amp simulator effect (to simulate the unique characteristics of a guitar amplifier). Select from the following:

REC

FUNCTION

SPEED

oF (off): The amp simulator effect is turned off.

Co (combo): This effect simulates the sound produced by a 100W combo amplifier.

bC (bright combo): This effect simulates the bright sound produced by a 120W amplifier that emphasizes the high range.

St (stack): This effect simulates the sound produced by a stack amplifier with four speakers stacked up.

Rev Trim (Reverb Trim)

Enables you to set the input gain of the reverberation (mix) of the effects used for the REV/DLY module in the range of 1 through 10. This parameter is set to “7” when you turn on the power to the unit.

REV Trim

Mix

Adjust this parameter according to the acoustic HINT environment of the performance.

FUNCTION

(The function of the [FUNCTION] switch)

Enables you to assign a function to the [FUNCTION] switch. Refer to page 8 for more information on the assignable functions and the operation of the [FUNCTION] switch.

When you finish setting the global parameters, press the [GROUP/EXIT] key.

The 2100 enters Play mode.

The global parameter settings are not affected even if you NOTE switch the patches. These parameters are reset when you

turn off the power to the 2100.

As an exception, however, you can store the “AmpSim” and “FUNCTION” settings. To store these settings, select the desired patch and follow the steps for the store operation (see page 11).

Temporarily turning the effects off (Bypass)

You may turn off all the effects in the patch, and output only the dry instrument sound. (This is called the “Bypass function.”) This function is useful when you wish to check the intensity of the effects.

FUNCTION

SPEED

Press and immediately release the foot switch with the same number as the currently-selected patch in Play mode (the number shown on the right of the display).

The effects are bypassed, and the dry instrument sound is output. At this time, the display indicates “ ” for a while, then indicates “ ”.

At this point, you can tune the instrument using the Tuner HINT function, if necessary. (See page 7.)

To cancel the Bypass function, press one of foot switches 1–3, the [BANK] switch, or the [FUNCTION] switch (unless the “Ct” function is assigned to the [FUNCTION] switch).

When you press the [BANK▲] switch or the [FUNCTION] switch, the patch selected before you used the Bypass function is restored.

Temporarily muting the sound output from the 2100

You may temporarily mute the sound output from the 2100. (This is called the “Mute function.”) This function is useful when you wish to tune your instrument quietly on the stage.
