Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the G1/G1X.

Power requirements

Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we

arning

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.

[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.

Environment

To prevent the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or

arning

malfunction, avoid using your G1/G1X in environments where it will be exposed to:

• Extreme temperatures

• Heat sources such as radiators or stoves

• Excessive dust or sand

• Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

•Never place objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, on

arning

the G1/G1X since this can cause electric shock.

•Do not place naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, on the G1/G1X since this can cause ﬁre.

• The G1/G1X is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue pressure on the keys and other controls. Also take

Caution

care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive pressure.

•Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or liquids can enter the unit.

Connecting cables and input and output jacks

Caution

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.

Alterations

Never open the case of the G1/G1X or attempt to

arning

modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

Volume

Do not use the G1/G1X at a loud volume for a long

Caution

time since this can cause hearing impairment.

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.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the G1/G1X. 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.

Terms Used in This Manual

This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G1/G1X documentation.

IN OUT

■

Effect module

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.

■

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.

■

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.

■

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

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 are numbered 0 through 9. To specify a patch of the G1/G1X, you use the format "A1" (patch number 1 from bank A), "06" (patch number 6 from bank 0), etc.

■

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.

Insert four fresh IEC R6

(size AA) batteries.

Polarity is opposite for two banks of two batteries each.

Use four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries

When the batteries are getting low, the indication "bt" appears on the display.

When operating the G1/G1X on batteries, it is advisable to disconnect the guitar cable plug from the [INPUT] jack when not using the unit, to conserve battery power.

Turn the guitar amplifier on and adjust the volume to a suitable position.

Set the G1/G1X to play mode

If the Module selector is set to a position other than "PLAY", set it to "PLAY".

Selecting a Patch

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.

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.

NOTE

When using headphones, this knob adjusts the listening volume.

The currently selected bank and patch number are shown on the display.

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".

Bank name Patch number

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.

ZOOM G1/G1X

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

ZOOM G1/G1X

Directly selecting a bank

With the G1, using the foot switch (FS01) to switch banks is also possible (→ p. 16).

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).

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.

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

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.

The bypass or mute condition cannot be activated when the unit is in edit mode.

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.

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).

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).

Shortly after you release the [VALUE] knob, the display indication will revert to the previous condition.

NOTE

Press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches.

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

• In play mode, you cannot switch the rhythm pattern or adjust the rhythm volume and tempo.

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.

Adjust the rhythm volume

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.

Adjust the tempo

The rhythm pattern tempo can be adjusted in the range of 40 – 250 BPM (beats per minute).

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.

Select a rhythm pattern

The G1/G1X has 40 built-in rhythm patterns. For more information on pattern contents, see page 25.

To switch rhythm patterns, press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches in rhythm mode.

ZOOM G1/G1X

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.

1. Turn power to the G1/G1X on while

holding down the [Q] foot switch.

The indication "PrE-SElEct" scrolls on the display during startup.

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.

3. 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.

4. To return the G1/G1X to the normal

patch selection method, simply turn power off and then on again.

The patch selection method is automatically reset to conventional operation.

Using a Foot Switch or Pedal

The G1 is equipped with a [CONTROL IN] jack that allows connection of an optional foot switch or expression pedal. This section explains how to use this capability.

Depending on the currently selected mode, the

Pressing the foot switch selects the next higher bank.

● Rhythm mode

When you press the foot switch two times or

more, the G1 detects the interval and automatically adjusts the tempo accordingly (tap tempo function).

● Edit mode

The foot switch 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. To use an expression pedal with the

G1, plug the FP01 or FP02 into the [CONTROL IN] jack and turn on the power.

2. Select the patch in which to use the

expression pedal.

3. Set the Module selector to a position

other than "PLAY" or "RHYTHM".

The G1/G1X goes into edit mode.

Aggressive screaming sound modeled on the Peavey 5150. Pushing the pedal down shifts the pitch upwards by up to one octave, heightening the aggressive character even more.

A combination of Hiwatt Custom 100 simulation and Ensemble gives a spacious, beautiful sound with a clear presence. Great for cutting and arpeggio.

Bluesy drive sound that faithfully brings out picking nuances. Pushing the pedal down gives that hot drive feeling ideal for guitar solos.

Clean sound with a dash of Phaser. Try it and lead your band with some groovy cutting. Combination of Marshall 1959 and Auto Wah results in bold auto wah sound with a distinctive touch, great for a wide range of

extravagant effects. Clean sound with a shimmering blend of Tremolo and Vibrato. Deep reverb creates a fantastic universe of sound. Michael Schenker style half-closed wah pedal sound. By pushing the pedal down, you can get dynamic wah in the fashion of

Zakk Wylde. Flamboyant lead tone based on a combination of HPS (Harmonized Pitch Shifter) and Lead. Moving the pedal controls the HPS

mixing ratio. Typical Flanger jet sound. Play the low-end strings, and make a jet plane take off from your amp. Experience the king of hard

rock sounds. Turn your guitar into an acoustic instrument at the touch of a key. Even if heavy rock is your thing, why not try that gorgeous

acoustic tone once in a while. This sound is modeled on the Matchless foot type preamp. The supple tone with rich harmonics will make you want to go on

playing for ever. This sound is modeled on the VOX AC30TBX. Class A drive ensures excellent response and yields a clean tone. That realistic

feeling of chords pouring out of the speakers is hard to get with any other amp. Many guitarists love the Peavey 5150 for its distinct and detailed distortion even at high gain. Power chords, speedy riffs,

technical solos all will benefit from this high-gain sound. Typical surf rock sound of the Fender TwinReverb ('65 model), with Tremolo and Reverb creating that pulsating tone. Ride the

surf on a cascade of phrases. This original ZOOM creation features ultra-powerful distortion, for aggressive metal sound that will set your spirit on fire. Simulation of the PROCO RAT famous for its edgy distortion sound. First made popular by Jeff Beck in the late seventies, this

effect is behind a lot of rock sounds out there. Powerful distortion that stays well defined. This patch is modeled on the Fuzz Face that made rock history with its wild yet smooth sound. A favorite of many great

guitarists. Simulation of the Boss OD-1 that produces natural, rich overdrive. Enjoy its great sound without having to pay a premium price

for a vintage unit on the second-hand market. Simulation of the Diezel Herbert amp that is creating a new standard for loud music. Make your sound hit as hard as never

before. This patch is modeled on the Mesa Boogie Mark III, an amp noted for its powerful midrange suitable for many genres.

Particularly good for playing fusion phrases on a hollow-body guitar. The simple Marshall drive sound used by Jimmy Page of early Led Zeppelin. Use a Telecaster or Les Paul and recreate "Good

Times Bad Times". Jeff Beck's favorite drive tone with a one-octave lower component. Try it out and hear yourself irresistibly drawn towards

playing "Led Boots". This patch is modeled on "Crossroads" by the Cream which features one of the greatest rock solos ever. Ideal crunch tone for

playing blues rock with a single-coil pickup or a humbucker. From Pink Floyd's 1973 smash album Dark Side of The Moon, we have selected the song "Breathe". The fat Clean + Ensemble

sound faithfully reproduces what David Gilmour did at the time. Signature tone of Eddie Van Halen, the revolutionary of the guitar world. Use it to play phrases full of technical ideas. Unique lead sound as created by Adrian Belew in his song "Big Electric Cat". The addition of high octaves to the original sound

is the expression of a distinctive sonic outlook. This mysterious sound matches any guitar. High gain sound as employed by Metallica's Kirk Hammett in the ending solo of their hit song "One". Shake your hair, get wild

and emotional, and let fly with your own performance. Passionate crunch sound played by Carlos Santana. Choking up with soul is what it's all about. Nirvana's much missed genius, Kurt Cobain loved this clean sound with its interweaving modulation, as can be heard for

example on "Come As You Are". The hot crunch sound of Billy F. Gibbons from the hard Boogie band ZZ Top. Sling your guitar low and try the patch for

intense backing or slide play. This patch simulates the heavy drive sound of Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello. Operate the pedal to get that

tricky "octave-up sound". Straight rock sound as played by Angus Young of AC/DC. Combination of Marshall 1959 simulation and Delay produces a

rugged tone that still blends well with an ensemble. David Lindley, guitarist of the band El Rayo-X uses this clean chorus sound. Great for reggae rhythms or arpeggios. Lindley

prefers lipstick type pickups, but this patch will also work fine with single-coils or humbuckers. Vintage rock ballad sound a la Pearl Jam. Whether chord stroke with a stack amp or playing lead with front-mounted pickups,

this tone will give a great match. Clean sound with superb rock feel in the vein of Pete Townshend of the Who. It's bound to get you excited, but better not smash

up your guitar and amps.

TOTO's super guitarist Steve Lukather is famous for this lead drive sound which is effective yet smooth.

The Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh introduced this crunch sound characterized by prominent phaser in "Hotel California". Go for it and recreate a seminal moment in rock.

Ping Pong Delay and Phaser produce a sparkling clean sound. Freely control the delay mix with the pedal. Try it with tension chords and arpeggios.

This patch simulates the sound of a dulcimer which is regarded as one of the ancestors of the piano. The pedal lets you adjust the pitch shift mixing ratio.

Combination of Tremolo and Step creates a dramatic pulsating sound that makes even simple guitar phrases stand out from the crowd. Freely tailor the Step Rate with the pedal, for enhanced effectiveness.
