Effect type C9 Setting value MOD Module on/off Effect type For every effect module, the last basic parameter setting is " o F ". When this is selected, the respective module is turned off, which means that it will not affect the sound output by the 505 II. (The effect is the same as when both [ ]/[ ] foot switches are pressed together in edit mode. ) MOD module basic parameters This effect module comprises effects such as chorus, flanger, and tremolo. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity. Linking Effects CHORUS (Chorus) This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted component to the original signal, resulting in full-bodied and expansive sound. Higher setting values result in a Effect Types and Parameters L7 L9 LP oF SLOW ATTACK > PITCH SHIFT (Slow Attack > Pitch Shift) This effect type is a serial connection of slow attack and pitch shifter. Higher right-digit setting values result in slower attack rate. (The pitch shifter is fixed to the 1 octave up setting. ) PEDAL SLOW ATTACK (Pedal Slow Attack) Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack, the attack rate can be adjusted. For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the MOD module comprises CHORUS, FLANGER, TREMOLO, and other effect types. The DLY/REV module comprises DELAY, HALL, ROOM, etc. OFF (Off) Turns the MOD module off. Expression pedal A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the expression pedal (FP01/FP02). When such a parameter is selected, the respective module can be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal. Except for pedal wah, when a parameter marked with a pedal icon is selected, the sound will correspond to the representative setting of that effect. The COMP module and MOD module allow you to choose two effect types simultaneously, such as COMPRESSOR > AUTO WAH or DOUBLING > CHORUS. If there is no parameter marked with a pedal icon selected in the entire patch, the expression pedal operates as a volume pedal. 20 ZOOM 505 II GUITAR ZOOM 505 II GUITAR 21 PATCH LEVEL PATCH LEVEL P1 P4 PEDAL WAH (Pedal Wah) This effect type allows using an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack for pedal wah. The expression pedal then controls the frequency that is emphasized. Higher setting values result in higher emphasized frequency. 1 30 Adjusts the overall volume of the patch. A value of 25 corresponds to unity gain (input level and output level are equal). COMP LIMIT WAH COMP module basic parameters This module comprises the compressor, limiter, auto wah, and pedal wah effect types. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity. P5 P9 oF COMPRESSOR > PEDAL WAH (Compressor > Pedal Wah) This effect type is a serial connection of compressor and pedal wah. Higher setting values result in higher emphasized frequency. (The compressor effect is fixed. ) OFF (Off) Turns the COMP module off. DIST DIST module basic parameters In addition to 10 distortion type effects, this module also comprises two clean effect types. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type. COMPRESSOR (Compressor) C1 C9 Effect Types and Parameters This effect type attenuates high-level signal components and boosts low-level signal components, thereby keeping the overall signal level within a certain range. The effect prolongs sustain and makes the sound more uniform. Higher setting values result in stronger compression. LEVEL LEVEL Original sound TIME Compressor Ac TIME ACOUSTIC (Acoustic) Changes the sound of an electric guitar into that of an acoustic guitar. Effect Types and Parameters Fd rY FDR CLN (FDR Clean) Simulates the clean sound of a built-in type tube amplifier. LIMITER (Limiter) RHYTHM (Rhythm) This is a crunch sound with slight distortion when playing strongly. L1 L9 A1 A4 A5 A9 22 This effect type attenuates peak levels and prevents overload of the next module. Higher setting values result in stronger limiter action. LEVEL LEVEL Od Limiter OVERDRIVE (Overdrive) Extended overdrive sound with the character of tube amplifier distortion. Original sound TIME dt TIME DIST (Distortion) Distortion similar to driving a three-stack amp in the hard rock style. AUTO WAH (Auto Wah) This effect type applies wah which is dependent on playing intensity. Higher setting values result in higher input sensitivity for the auto wah effect. bL BLUES (Blues) Overdrive with a solid blues style sound. FU Ld FUZZ (Fuzz) Sixties style fuzz sound with fat bass. COMPRESSOR > AUTO WAH (Compressor > Auto Wah) This effect type is a serial connection of compressor and auto wah. Higher setting values result in higher input sensitivity for the auto wah effect. [. . . ] Rectified modeling sound with pedal-gain control. High-gain metal sound allows 2-octave bend-down with pedal. Crunchy clean sound of the built-in type tube amp. American fat amp distortion with pedal-gain control. [. . . ]
