Features
Thank you for selecting the ZOOM Hyper Lead HL-01 (hereafter simply called the
"HL-01"). The HL-01 is a high-performance compact distortion unit developed with input
from top-level professional musicians the worldwide. It reflects ZOOM's rich expertise
with analog circuitry and has many attractive features.
Smooth and solid high-gain sound
◆
Newly developed analog triple gain circuit is ideal for a wide range of playing styles
and applications. From lead guitar to backing, the HL-01 opens up a world of
distortion possibilities. Natural and smooth sounding distortion in the all-important
midrange creates impressively solid guitar sound.
3-band equalizer with superb effectiveness
◆
In addition to the BASS and TREBLE controls, the HL-01 features a parametric
midrange control whose turnover point can be adjusted. This gives you full control
over the most important frequency range for each instrument, letting you stress a
characteristic or reduce overlapping ranges. The TREBLE and BASS controls are
tuned to allow spot-on adjustments of high-range sparkle and low-end energy.

Amazing low-noise design
◆
Designed from the ground up for optimum performance, the HL-01 uses only strictly
selected parts. For an effect without built-in noise reduction, the low noise level of the
HL-01 is truly amazing.
Mechanical switch for true bypass
◆
On/off switching is performed using a mechanical foot switch which operates
smoothly and gives tactile feedback. In the bypass position, the guitar signal is passed
through without any alteration.
Sturdy metal chassis
◆
The rock-solid case made of aluminum not only looks good, it also can withstand the
rigors of use on stage or rough handling during transport. Stability is excellent,
ensuring that the unit will not topple over while in use.
