ZOOM G9.2tt

Features

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM G9.2tt (simply called the "G9.2tt" in this manual). The G9.2tt is a sophisticated Multi Effect Processor with the following features.

●Latest technology for top performance

Excellent sound quality is assured by signal processing featuring 96 kHz/24 bit sampling and internal 32-bit processing. Frequency response remains flat to 40 kHz, and input converted noise is an amazing 120 dB or better.

●Ready-to-use patches

Effect module combinations and settings can be stored and recalled as "patches". The G9.2tt offers 100 patches in the read-only preset groups, plus 100 patches in the user groups which can be freely rewritten, resulting in a total of 200 choices. Send / return level and on/off settings of external effects connected via the SEND/RETURN jacks can also be stored as part of a patch.

●Great for stage work or direct recording

The pre-amp section features two channels, and each distortion type has two dedicated algorithms, one for live playing and one for direct recording. The CABINET effect simulates amp and mic recording characteristics, and the algorithm is automatically switched according to the CABINET on/off setting. An amp select feature matches the sound to the amp you are using. Connecting the G9.2tt to the power amplifier input of the guitar amp is no problem: simply set the -10 dBm/+4 dBm switch to the +4 dBm position.

●Built-in tuner supports special tuning requirements

In addition to the standard auto-chromatic tuner, various other tuning methods are possible. The tuner also allows easy tuning on stage without producing sound.

●Two expression pedals built in as standard

Adjust effect tone or volume in real time with the two expression pedals that are built right into the unit. The right-side pedal in particular deserves attention: the Z-Pedal that senses not only vertical but even horizontal movement. Step into the next dimension of pedal play and discover a whole new world of possibilities.

●Tube powered Accelerator and Energizer

The analog input stage features an Accelerator that lets you freely mix the signals amplified by a vacuum tube circuit and a solid-state circrit. In this way, you can add characteristic tube compression and distortion to a clean sound. In addition, the G9.2tt also features an Energizer that processes the analog output signal to produce that characteristic warm and dynamic sound that is the hallmark of a tube amplifier.

●Programmable function foot switches

Two user-programmable function foot switches further enhance flexibility and let you optimize the unit for any application. Use them to switch pre-amp channels, set the delay time, turn hold delay on and off, or for various other tasks.

Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of your G9.2tt and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

Terms Used in This Manual

This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G9.2tt documentation.

■ Effect module

As shown in the illustration below, the G9.2tt can be thought of as a combination of several single effects. Each of these is referred to as an effect module. The G9.2tt offers a compressor effect module (COMP), amp simulator/distortion effect module (PRE-AMP), external effect loop control module (EXT LOOP), and more. Parameters such as effect intensity can be adjusted for each module individually, and modules can be switched on and off as desired. The five modules EXT LOOP, ZNR, PRE-AMP, EQ, and CABINET operate as a virtual preamplifier which is controlled with the knobs and keys on the pre-amp section of the panel.

■ Effect type

Most effect modules comprise several different effects which are referred to as effect types. For example, the modulation effect module (MOD/ EFX2) comprises chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, delay, and other effect types. Only one of these can be selected at any time.

■ Effect parameter

All effect modules have aspects that can be controlled. These are called effect parameters, adjusted with the parameter knobs 1 - 4 on the panel. 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 G9.2tt, 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. Expression pedal settings and tempo settings are also stored for each patch individually.

■ Bank and group

Patches are organized in user groups (U, u) which can be modified, and in preset groups (A, b) which are read-only. Since each group comprises

50 patches, groups A, b, U, and u offer a total of 200 patches.

In the G9.2tt, patches are called up five at a time and selected with the foot switches. These five patches are together referred to as a bank. There are ten banks in a group, numbered 0 through 9.

	User groups				Preset groups
	BANK 9		BANK 9		BANK 9		BANK 9
	PATCH 1		PATCH 1		PATCH 1		PATCH 1

Group U		Group u		Group A		Group b

■Modes

The G9.2tt has five different operation modes, as listed below.

●Play mode

In this mode, patches can be selected and played. This is the default mode of the G9.2tt that is always active when power is turned on.

●Manual mode

In this mode, you play your instrument while using the foot switches to turn modules on and off.

●Edit mode

In this mode, the effect parameters of a patch can be edited (changed).

●Store mode

This mode serves for storing edited patches. It also allows changing the store positions of patches.

●Bypass/mute mode

When the G9.2tt is in the bypass condition, effect processing is temporarily turned off and only the original sound is heard. In the mute mode, all sound is turned off. The built-in tuner can be used in either condition.

•The lit [STORE/SWAP] key indicates that one or more items (including items not currently displayed) have been changed from the contents of the original patch. If all items are returned to their original settings, the key will go out.

4. To change other major parameters in the pre-amp section, operate the respective knob (see illustration below).

When you turn a knob, the name and the current setting of the respective parameter appear on the display. Operating the [BASS], [MIDDLE], [TREBLE], or [PRESENCE] knob will boost or cut the respective band, and the setting is reflected in the graph on the right side of the display.

HINT

The patch level is a parameter that controls the output level of the respective patch. The setting range is 2 – 100. A setting of 80 results in unity gain (no level increase or decrease).

NOTE

The changes that you have made to a patch will be lost when you select another patch. To keep the changes, store the patch first (→ p. 28).

Using the Accelerator

The input stage of the G9.2tt incorporates an Accelerator function that amplifies the analog signal before effect processing using a tube or solid state circuit. This lets you mix characteristic tube compression and distortion with clean solid state sound and then send the signal to the effect circuitry.

HINT

The Accelerator is active in all modes. Accelerator settings are not stored as part of the patch.

When you perform step 3 or step 4, the G9.2tt switches to edit mode. To return to play mode, press the [EXIT] key. (For details on edit mode, see page 24.)

5. To adjust the overall level of the patch, turn parameter knob 2 in play mode.

To adjust the Accelerator, use the controls of the Accelerator section on the panel. The control functions are explained below.

Selecting Patches for Playing (Play Mode)

●[TUBE] control

This control adjusts the input signal gain of the tube circuit. Turning the control clockwise increases gain and also increases distortion. Settings higher than about three o'clock will drastically increase the volume and distortion. This can be used to strongly emphasize the typical tube compression and distortion character.

●[SOLID STATE] control

This control adjusts the input signal gain of the solid state circuit. Turning the control clockwise increases only the volume. At the maximum position, gain is about +6 dB. This can be used to increase the gain for the signal before effect processing.

Depending on the settings made for the Accelerator, the effect intensity of the COMP module and the distortion depth of the PRE-AMP module also will change. When editing patches, we recommend using the following setting examples for the Accelerator.

● Normal Clean

This setting gives a clean tone with minimal distortion.

● Clean - Tube Mix

This setting gives a mix of solid state clean sound and tube distortion sound.

NOTE

When both controls are set to minimum, no signal will be input to the G9.2tt.

Using the Energizer

The G9.2tt incorporates an Energizer function that processes the analog output signal using a tube circuit.

This feature is suitable for making the guitar stand out in an ensemble setting, or for adding that characteristic tube distortion sound.

HINT

The Energizer is active in all modes. The Energizer settings are not stored as part of the patch.

To adjust the Energizer, use the controls of the Energizer section on the panel. The control functions are explained below.

● Tube Pre-amp

This setting emphasizes the tube - like compression feeling. Raising the [TUBE] control further will drastically increase the volume and distortion.




[TUBE] control			[BOOST] control

●[TUBE] control

This control adds characteristic tube distortion to the sound, making the guitar stand out more distinctly. When the knob is turned fully counterclockwise, the effect is off. Turning the knob clockwise gradually increases the tube circuit gain, resulting in warmer, more solid crunch or drive sound.

Normally, you should set the control to a

ZOOM G9.2tt

Selecting Patches for Playing (Play Mode)

position where distortion is not too audible, but you can set it higher when you purposely want to emphasize the tube distortion.

●[BOOST] control

This control boosts specific frequency bands to make the sound more pronounced. When the knob is turned fully counterclockwise, the effect is off. Turning the knob clockwise gradually boosts the low frequencies and the area around 2 kHz. Especially when using a small guitar amp or an audio system with flat response, this can be helpful to produce more dynamic sound.

The [BOOST] control is useful in such situations, and for bringing the sound of the guitar more to the foreground when playing in a band.

NOTE

•The intensity of the distortion achieved with the [TUBE] control depends on the guitar and type of pickup.

•When both controls are fully turned up, the volume level will be higher and excessive distortion may occur.

Switching Modules On and Off With Your Foot During Play (Manual Mode)

The condition where foot switches 1 – 5 are used to switch the major modules in a patch on and off individually is called "manual mode". In this mode, the single effects of the G9.2tt can be controlled with your foot like independent compact effects.

Changing the Sound of a Patch (Edit Mode)

The condition where you can change the effect types and settings that make up a patch is called "edit mode". This section describes how to use this mode.

Patch configuration

As shown in the "Patch configuration" illustration below, the G9.2tt can be thought of as a series of several single effects (effect modules). A combination of these modules and the settings for each module are stored as a patch.

Almost all modules comprise several different effects (called effect types), one of which is selected at any given time. For example, the MOD/EFX2 module allows selection of either CHORUS, PITCH SHIFTER, DELAY, etc.

The elements that determine the sound of a patch are called effect parameters. Each effect type has its own parameters that can be controlled with knobs on the panel. Even within the same module, when the effect type is different, the effect parameters that can be controlled will also be different.

In the module configuration shown below, the series of modules EXT LOOP, ZNR, PRE-AMP, EQ, and CABINET operates as a virtual pre-amp section. Depending on the application, this section can be inserted after the WAH/EFX1 module or after the DELAY module (→ p. 58). For the ZNR, PRE-AMP and EQ modules, different settings can be made in two channels (A/B).

Basic edit mode steps

The basic steps that are normally taken in edit mode are explained here. For details on effect types and parameters for each module, see the section "Effect Types and Parameters" on page 60

– 75.

1. Select the patch to edit.

The patch can be from a preset group (A/b) or user group (U/u). However, if you have edited a patch from a preset group, it can only be stored in a user group (→ p. 28).

2. In play mode or manual mode, press the effect module key (see illustration on next page) to select the module on which to operate.

The G9.2tt switches to edit mode, and the display changes as follows.

Using the Expression Pedals

This section explains how to use the two built-in expression pedals of the G9.2tt.

About the expression pedals

The G9.2tt comes standard with two expression pedals that can be used to control specific effect parameters in real time.

Expression pedal 1 on the left side has four control targets (P1-1 to P1-4), and a parameter can be assigned for each control target. This makes it possible to adjust up to four parameters of different modules simultaneously. A setting example is shown below, to give you an idea of how the pedal can be used.

Expression pedal 2 on the right side the Z-Pedal that senses not only vertical but also horizontal movement. It has four control targets in the vertical direction (P2V1 to P2V4) and four control targets in the horizontal direction (P2H1 to P2H4). A parameter can be assigned for each control target.

With a setting such as shown in the example at right, the pedal adjusts the Gain parameter of the

PRE-AMP module when moved in the vertical direction and the Rate parameter of the MOD/ EFX2 module when moved in the horizontal direction. It is also possible to control both at the same time with one pedal.

HINT

•The parameter adjustment range covered by expression pedals 1 and 2 can be set for each control target separately.

•In bypass mode, both expression pedals function as a volume pedal when moved in the vertical direction. (Moving expression pedal 2 in the horizontal direction has no effect.)

•In mute mode, both expression pedals have no effect.

NOTE

Expression pedal 2 of the G9.2tt is designed for operation with one foot. When the pedal is fully turned to the right, pushing it strongly down, hitting it, or otherwise exerting strong force on it will damage the pedal. Be sure to operate the pedal only within its designated range.
