ADVANCED GUITAR EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM SUPER PLAYER 8080 (hereafter simply called the "8080"). The 8080 is a sophisticated multi-effect device with the following features and functions:

• 47 types of high-quality single effects produced by two new-generation Zoom DSP ZFx-2 chips. Up to 10 effects can be combined for simultaneous use, with flexible patching arrangements. Virtually unlimited possibilities let you create your ultimate guitar sound.

• Large internal memory holds 150 superb preset patches programmed by topnotch professionals, plus 50 user- definable patches.

• Many effects simulate the sound of famous vintage effects that are hard to find nowadays. Faithful recreation even includes the operation 'feel'.

• Seamless patch change lets you activate a new patch while the old patch still reverberates, ensuring smooth transitions.

• Dedicated analog circuitry for various distortion effects. Built-in amp simulator maintains dynamic guitar sound also during line recording and headphone monitoring.

• Patches can include external effect on/off setting and external amp channel selection.

• Four data entry knobs and an array of large foot switches allow easy control and adjustment with an analog touch. Even musicians who have so far only used compact effects will instantly feel at home.

• Integrated auto-chromatic guitar tuning function with tuning meter allows quick and precise tuning of instruments on stage.

• Three real-time control circuits and two control pedals can be used for pedal wah, pedal pitch shifter and any other effect parameter or level setting. Separate control switches allow step-by-step adjustment.

Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of your 8080 and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

HINTHINT

In this manual, symbols are used to highlight warnings and cautions for you to read so that accidents can be prevented. The meanings of these symbols are as follows:

This symbol indicates explanations about extremely dangerous matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the device the wrong way, serious injury or death could result.

This symbol indicates explanations about dangerous matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the device the wrong way, bodily injury and damage to the equipment could result.

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the 8080.

• Power requirements

The 8080 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 8080 in an area with a different line voltage, please consult your local ZOOM distributor about acquiring a proper AC adapter.

• Environment

Avoid using your 8080 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 8080 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 8080 or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

• Connecting cables and input and output jacks

You should always turn off the power to the 8080 and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before moving the 8080.

• Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the 8080 has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and from external interference.However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the 8080, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

Connection example 1: instrument/guitar amplifier connection

When using only one guitar amplifier, connect the L/MONO OUTPUT jack of the 8080 to the input of the guitar amplifier. In this case, the L and R signals of stereo effects will be combined in the output. When using two guitar amplifiers, connect the L and R OUTPUT jacks of the 8080 to the inputs of the guitar amplifiers.

Set the OUTPUT LEVEL GAIN switch to the position which matches the input sensitivity of the connected equipment. For connection to a guitar amplifier, the "-20 dB" position will normally be best, whereas professional effect devices and mixing consoles will work better with the "+4 dB" setting.

NO

✎

Connection example 2: external effect/preamplifier connection

When wishing to control the on/off condition of an external distortion effect or preamplifier or similar, connect the effect device in the EXTERNAL DIST SEND and EXTERNAL DIST RETURN loop ( p. 41).

Set the EXTERNAL DIST RETURN GAIN switch to the position which matches

the output level of the connected equipment. For use with a compact effect device, the "-20 dB" position will normally be best, whereas professional effect devices and guitar preamplifiers will work better with the "+4 dB" setting.

O

Connection example 4:

MIDI connection

When wishing to control the programs of a MIDI-compatible external distortion effect or preamplifier or similar, connect the MIDI jack of the device to the MIDI OUT jack of the 8080, using a MIDI cable( p.34).

Connection example 3: external guitar amplifier connection

When wishing to control channel switching of a guitar amplifier using the foot switches of the 8080, connect the EXTERNAL CONTROL jack of the 8080 with the foot switch jack of the guitar amplifier, using either a stereo or mono cable ( p. 42).

This section explains what the 8080 is and what it can do. You will also find explanations of some important terms here.

The 8080 is a multi-effect device made up of eight different effect modules (effect blocks). Each effect module acts like a single compact effect. The following modules are available:

• COMP ••••••••••••• Compressor effects for processing the sound level

• EFF1 ••••••••••••••••• Equalizer effects and wah/modulation effects with strong characteristics.

Can be inserted before or after the DIST module.

• DIST •••••••••••••••••• Analog distortion effects

• EQ ••••••••••••••••••••••• Basic equalizer effects

• EFF2 ••••••••••••••••• Modulation-type effects for changing pitch and creating special effects

• EFF3 ••••••••••••••••• Standard modulation-type effects such as flanger and chorus

• DLY •••••••••••••••••••• Stereo delay effects

• REV •••••••••••••••••••• Reverberation effects

Almost all effect modules contain several variations of an effect (effect types), out of which the user can select the most suitable one. The illustration below shows the signal flow in the 8080 and the effect types for the various effect modules.

Internal settings of the 8080 are called patches which can be stored in memory and called up at any time. A patch consists of the parameter settings for the various effect modules, plus information about the patch level, control pedal and control switch settings, EFF1 routing, EFF2/EFF3 connection type, etc. The section enclosed in a dotted line in the above illustration is a patch.

The 8080 divides patches into four groups: one USER group for patches that can be changed by the user and three PRESET groups (A-C) for patches that have been programmed at the factory. Each group contains 50 patches, resulting in a total of 200 patches. The 8080 allows simultaneous use of one group from the PRESET A-C groups and one patch from the USER group.

Within a group, patches are divided into "banks" of five patches each. Every group has ten such banks (numbered 0- 9).

The 8080 has the following three main operation modes:

• Play mode •••••••••••• In this mode, you select patches and use them for playing. You can also

temporarily turn effects off, tune your instrument, and perform some other functions.

• Edit mode •••••••••••• In this mode, you can edit (change) the parameters of the effect modules in

the currently selected patch.

• Utility mode ••••••••• In this mode, you can make amp simulator, MIDI, and other settings which

affect all patches.

Besides the above mentioned main operation modes, the 8080 also has a manual mode for turning effect modules off and on with the foot switches during a performance, and the so-called initialize mode for resetting the unit to the factory defaults.

When an effect module is switched off or on, the indication "é " appears on the display. This indicates that the currently selected patch has been changed (edited).

The TOTAL module contains settings that are active for the entire patch. This module can therefore not be switched off.

Unless you store the new setting ( p. 23), any changes that you have made in the effect module on/off setting of a patch will be lost when you select a different patch.

• In the TOTAL module, select the effect module to be assigned to CONTROL pedal 1 and 2.

For effect types where the RTM destination can be changed (some effect types in effect modules EFF2 and EFF3), the indication "RTM=" is shown on the display, and data entry knob 3 can be used to select the parameter. For effect types where the RTM destination is fixed, "RTM →" is shown on the display.

The "Minimum" value of the DIST module depends on the distortion type and the parameter setting value.

In Play mode, the lower line of the display shows the modules assigned to CONTROL pedals 1 and 2.

In principle, CONTROL pedal 1, CONTROL pedal 2, and the CONTROL switches cannot be used to control the

Keeping a CONTROL switch depressed causes the value to change continuously in steps of 1 unit (but the CONTROL SWITCH INDICATOR shows changes in 10-unit steps). For example, if the total adjustment range is 100, tapping a CONTROL switch will change the value by 10, and holding a CONTROL switch depressed will change the value consecutively in steps of 1.

Advanced Operation

Controlling an external amplifier

Connect the foot switch jack of such an amplifier with the

This module contains ten different distortion and overdrive effects, including one for control of external distortion devices and a unique "Acoustic" effect that turns the sound of an electric guitar into that of an acoustic guitar. ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) is also available in this module.

This effect type serves for control of a device connected in the EXTERNAL DIST SEND/RETURN loop of the 8080. It also allows boosting the output.

This effect changes the sound of an electric guitar to a sound resembling that of an acoustic guitar.

Even if nothing is connected to the RETURN jack, the signal will be sent to the next module. However, since parameters settings such as BST and SND are active, the sound may be altered.

When this effect type is selected, internal distortion effects of the 8080 cannot be used.

In the DIST module, when the setting is "DIR=NML", pushing the pedal from the up position all the way down causes the parameter to be altered from the minimum value to the preset value (programmed value for the patch). When the setting is "DIR=INV", pushing the pedal from the up position all the way down causes the parameter to be altered from the current value to the minimum value. The minimum value depends on the distortion type and the parameter setting.

Parameters Comment Values

This module contains modulation-type effects for changing the pitch and creating special effects.

Allows changing the pitch in real time with a pedal. There are 16 pitch change patterns.

When "DIR" (RTM Direction) is set to "NML", the 16 pitch change patterns work as shown below.

This effect divides the original sound into two components (L and R) for which the pitch shifter can be set individually. By mixing these two sounds with the original sound, a 3-tone harmony is created.

This module provides four types of delay effects including ultra-long delay of up to 4 seconds and an analog-type delay.

This is a traditional delay effect with delay times up to 4 seconds. You can select monaural delay or ping-pong delay. Using one of the CONTROL switches, tapping input of delay time is possible.

This delay effect uses two delay times. Time1 is selected by the user and Time2 is the double of Time1. This allows one player to sound like three.

Strictly speaking, this module is not an effect module, but it serves for setting various parameters for the CONTROL pedals and CONTROL switches. It also contains settings for the seamless function, for editing patch names and for other parameters that affect all patches. The module has five pages which are switched with the UTILITY/PAGE key.

Determines whether the EFF2 and EFF3 modules are connected in series or parallel.

The seamless function lets the reverb or delay sound from the previous effect linger on when you switch effects, creating a smooth transition without audible breaks.

✎

In principle, the CONTROL switches cannot be used to control the same effect module as CONTROL pedal 1 or CONTROL pedal 2. If several controllers are set to the same module on this page, priority will be assigned in the order CP1, CP2, CSW when returning to the Play mode. Only the controller with the highest priority is active and the others are set to "OFF" ( p. 27). However, if the "CSW" parameter in the RTM page of the DLY module is set to a different item than the "RTM" parameter, the DLY module can be assigned to CONTROL pedal 1 or 2 and the CONTROL switches at the same time. ( p. 27).

NO

✎

q TIM (SEAM Time) Sets the time until the reverberation subsides, in

100-ms steps.

OFF, 0.1– 99

w CUV (SEAM Curve) The reverberation attenuation pattern can be set to

"LNR" (reverberation is cut when the time interval set with the "TIM" parameter has elapsed) or "HLD"(reverberation continues for the programmed duration).

LNR, HLD

Parameters Comment Values

For reverb, the seamless function operates only if reverb in the newly selected module is off. If the programmed reverb time of the patch is shorter than the time set with the "TIM" parameter, the programmed reverb time has priority.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Check Remedy

No sound or very low

volume

• Are shielded cables connected properly?

Make connections as described in "Connections" and then turn the unit on.

• Is the guitar connected properly to the INPUT jack of the 8080 and the amplifier to the OUTPUT jack of the 8080?

Make connections as described in "Connections" and then turn the unit on.

• Is a shielded cable defective? Try replacing the cable.

• Is the connected guitar amplifier turned on?

Turn amplifier on.

• Are level controls on guitar and amplifier set properly?

Adjust controls to achieve suitable volume.

• Are level controls and parameters of 8080 set properly (OUTPUT control, patch level, VOL/LEVEL parameters)?

• Gain parameter of EQ effect set too low?

Activate Edit mode and adjust parameters. ( p.54)

• Are CONTROL pedals and CONTROL switches set too low?

Operate CONTROL pedals and CONTROL switches.

• Is the mute condition active?

Press foot switch with flashing indicator to turn muting off.

Patches cannot be switched

• Is Edit mode activated?

Press EDIT/EXIT key to return to Play mode.

• Is unit in standby condition for store or all- initialize?

Press the STORE/EXECUTE key to carry out the function, or press the EDIT/EXIT key to cancel.

CONTROL pedals or CONTROL switches have no effect

• Is effect module selected in CONTROL SET (TOTAL module) turned on?

Activate Edit modeand adjust parameters. ( p. 63)

• Are DIR (direction) parameter and control parameters set properly?

For example, if PWA module is assigned to a CONTROL pedal and the DIR parameter of the PWA module is set to "NML", the controlled FRQ parameter changes only from the minimum value to the current setting. If the minimum value is set to "1", pressing the pedal will have no effect.

Activate Edit mode and adjust parameters.
