The names are used only to illustrate sonic characteristics and do not indicate any affiliation with ZOOM CORPORATION. For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the COMP/LIMIT module gives a choice between COMPRESSOR, LIMITER, and other effect types. The REVERB module comprises HALL, ROOM, and other effect types from which you can choose one. Because the ZNR/MIX module has only one effect type, you cannot choose the type for this module. HINT · The DRIVE/SYNTH module has a "CABINET" parameter that controls how the speaker cabinet characteristics are reproduced. This allows you to match the cabinet character effect to various requirements of a live performance or of direct recording. · The mixing balance of the DRIVE/SYNTH module original sound and the effect sound/synth sound, as well as the signal level after passing the module can be adjusted with the ZNR/MIX module. · When "STDSYN", "SYNTLK", or "MONO SYN" is selected as effect type for the DRIVE/SYNTH module, the action of the COMP/LIMIT module and WAH/EFX module (connection position set to "bF") will apply only to the original sound after passing the DRIVE/SYNTH module and not to the synth sound. · The ZNR/MIX module cannot be turned off with the foot switch. To disable ZNR, set the effect parameter value to "oF". ZOOM B2 21 Effect Types and Parameters How to read the parameter table Effect parameters 1 ­ 3 These are the parameters that can be adjusted with Parameter knobs 1 ­ 3 when the effect type is selected. The setting range for each parameter is shown. Three-digit setting values are shown with a dot between the two numerals. Example: 1 ­ 98, 1. 0 = 1 ­ 98, 100 Module selector The Module selector symbol shows the position of the knob at which this module/parameter is called up. Effect module Effect type DELAY DELAY module DL dL This is a delay module which allows long delay times and use of the hold function. DELAY HOLD This is a delay with a maximum setting of 5000 ms. PD Pd PINGPONG DELAY HOLD This is a ping-pong type delay where the delay sound alternates between left and right. EC EC ECHO HOLD This effect simulates a tape echo with a long delay time of up to 5000 ms. These three effect types have the same parameters. 1 ­ 99, 1. 0 ­ 5. 0 Adjusts the delay time. In the TAP range from 10 ­ 990 ms, the adjustment is made in 10-ms steps (1 ­ 99). For 1 second and above, the adjustment is made in 100-ms steps (1. 0 ­ 2. 0). TIME FEEDBACK 0 ­ 98, 1. 0 MIX 0 ­ 98, 1. 0 Adjusts the feedback amount. Adjusts the mixing ratio of original sound and effect sound. Expression pedal A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the expression pedal (FP01/FP02). Specify the respective module as modulation target for the expression pedal ( p. 19), and then select the respective effect type of the module. The parameter can then be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal. Tap A [TAP] key icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be set by hitting the [TAP] key. [. . . ] Typically deep SWR bass sound is complemented by glossy highs. Simulation of distortion sound suitable for Tony Levin style lead play. Connect an expression pedal and turn pedal wah on to create highly effective wah sound. Emulate the midrange-oriented fingering work of artists such as Me'Shell Ndegeocello or Jeff Berlin. [. . . ]
