+ I | Features __ Thank you for selecting the ZOOM B9.lut (simply called the "B9.Jut" in this manual). The B9.lut 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 B9.lut offers 80 patches in the read-only preset group, plus 80 patches in the user group which can be freely rewritten, resulting in a total of 160 choices. © Tube powered Accelerator The analog input stage features an Accelerator that lets you freely mix the signal amplified by a vacuum tube circuit to the solid-stage signal. In this way, you can add characteristic tube compression and distortion to a clean sound. © Versatile array of effects Out of a versatile palette of 112 effects, up to ten (including ZNR) can be used simultaneously. Recreate the distortion sound of famous amps and compact effects, apply compressor effects to spruce up the sound, use the 6-band equalizer, control delay, add modulation, or select from many other great effects. Both in quality and versatility, the B9.lut far surpasses anything in its class. You can even transform the output into a cool synth bass or fretless bass sound. © Two selectable operation modes (manual mode/play mode) In manual mode, you can use the foot switches to turn individual effects in patches on and off. This makes it easy to simulate playing with an array of compact effects and stomp boxes. In play mode, the foot switches serve to quickly move between patches. © XLR connectors for direct output In addition to the OUTPUT jacks, a set of XLR connectors lets you send a balanced line-level signal directly to a PA mixer or recording console. The signal can be branched off either before or after effect processing. À switch for uncoupling the direct signal from ground in case of hum problems is also provided. © Z-Pedal senses not only vertical but even horizontal movement The B9.lut comes with a built-in Z-type expression pedal that offers great functionality. The pedal senses not only conventional up/down but also sideways movement. This lets you explore a whole new realm of pedal performance. If you connect an additional expression pedal (FPOI/FP02) to the CONTROL IN jack, this can be used as a dedicated volume pedal. © Programmable function foot switches Three user-programmable function foot switches further enhance flexibility and let you optimize the unit for a range of applications. Use them to 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 B9.lut and to ensure optimum performance and reliability. 4 ZOOM B9.lut
Terms Used in This Manual This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the B9.lut documentation. Effect module As shown in the illustration below, the B9.lut can be thought of as a combination of several single effects. Each of these is referred to as an effect module. The B9.lut offers a compressor effect module (COMP), amp simulator/synth bass 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. MEffect 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. REffect 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 à compact effect, the parameters change the tone and effect intensity similar to the knobs on the device. BPatch In the B9.lut, effect module combinations are stored and called up in units referred 10 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. SEND RETURN & Bank and group Patches are organized in the user group (U) which can be modified, and in the preset group (P) which is read-only.. Since each group comprises 80 patches, there are a total of 160 patches. In the B9.lut, patches are called up four at a time and selected with the four foot switches. These four patches are together referred to as a bank. There are 20 banks in à group, numbered 0 — 9 and À — 1. User group (U) Preset group (P) a a ——
E Modes The B9.lut has five different operation modes, as listed below. + Manual mode In this mode, you play your instrument while using a specific patch and turning modules in that patch on and off with the foot switches. This is the default mode of the B9.lut that is always active when power is turned on. Play mode In this mode, different patches can be selected quickly using the foot switches. + 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 B9.lut 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 tuner can be used in either condition. nr) 9 { MOD/EFX2 }-{DELAY } {REVERS} oUTPUT ZOOM B9.lut O804B9Eindb 5

In the "LIFT" position (switch engaged), the ground pin is uncoupled from the signal path. In the "CONNECT" position (switch disengaged), the ground pin is enabled. This switch affects only the signal at the BALANCED OUT R connector. In the "POST" position (switch engaged), the signal after effect processing is output. In the *PRE* position (switch disengaged), the signal after the accelerator but before effect processing is output. The BALANCED OUT L/MONO connector always carries the post- processing signal. 8 ZOOM B9.lut

Using the Expression Pedal This section explains how to use the built-in expression pedal of the B9.lut or an external expression pedal. About the expression pedal The B9.lut comes standard with one built-in expression pedal that can be used to control specific effect parameters in real time. In the vertical direction, this expression pedal has up to four control targets (PVI to PV4). For example, when assignments are made as shown in the illustration, four different parameters can be adjusted simultaneously when the pedal is moved up or down. Control target parameters ePpvi PRE-AMP module ePv2 MOD/EFX2 module ePv3 DELAY module ePv4a REVERE module The expression pedal of the B9.lut is a so-called Z-Pedal that senses not only vertical but also horizontal movement. Four additional control targets (PH1 to PH4) can be assigned in the sideways direction. Therefore a total of up to eight parameters (4 vertical and 4 horizontal) can be changed simultaneously.
O804BSEindb 30 With a setting such as shown in the following illustration, 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. Control target parameters @epPvi PRE-AMP module @ePHi MOD/EFX2 module HINT + The parameter adjustment range can be set for each control target separately. + In bypass mode, the expression pedal functions as a volume pedal when moved in the vertical direction. (Moving the pedal in the horizontal direction has no effect.) + In mute mode, the expression pedal has no effect. NOTE The expression pedal of the B9.lut 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 10 operate the pedal only within its designated range. ZOOM B9.lut
Assigning control targets to the expression pedal This section explains how to assign a control target to the expression pedal. Four control targets each can be assigned for the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Module on/off switching is available for the vertical direction only.

specified tempo, select the effect type and effect parameter to synchronize, and select the note symbol as the setting value for the parameter. The setting value for effect parameters which support tempo synchronization can be selected in note units, using the patch specific tempo as a reference. For example, the Time parameter of the effect type TapeEcho in the MOD/EFX2 module supports patch specific tempo synchronization. To use this capability, turn the respective parameter knob from the maximum setting (2000) further clockwise until a note symbol appears on the display. HINT In the section "Effect Tÿpes and Parameters" (=> pages 64 — 79), parameters which support tempo synchronization are indicated by a note symbol.
5. Select a parameter value by
selecting a note symbol. The following note settings for parameters which support tempo synchronization are available. Thirty-second note Sixteenth note ZOOM B9.lut
NOTE The actual available setting range depends on the parameter. For example, when you have selected the eighth note setting, the Time parameter will be set to a value that corresponds to an eighth note in the patch specific tempo. When the tempo is changed, the delay time also changes accordingly. NOTE Depending on the combination of tempo setting and selected note symbol, the maximum of the parameter setting range (such as 2000 ms) may be exceeded. In such a case, the value is automatically halved (or set 10 1/4 if the range is still exceeded).
6. When the tempo and parameter
setting is complete, press the [EXIT] key. The unit returns to manual mode or play mode. Store the patch as necessary. The above procedure uses the tempo set in step 3 as reference for the note setting made in step 5.

I O804B9E:indb 42 MIDI Usage Examples This section describes the various MIDI functions of the B9.lut. What you can do with MIDI The B9.lut lets you use MIDI in various ways, as described below. @Send and receive patch switching information via MIDI When you switch patches at the B9.lut, the MIDI OUT connector carries the corresponding MIDI messages (program change, or bank select + program change). Similarly, when a valid MIDI message is received at the MIDI IN connector, the B9.lut will perform the corresponding patch switch action. This makes it possible to have patches at the B9.lut switched automatically under control of a MIDI sequencer, or link operation of the B9.lut to patch switching at other MIDI enabled devices. @ Send and receive pedal/switch/key operation information via MIDI When you operate specific keys and foot switches of the B9.lut, or operate the expression pedal, the MIDI OUT connector carries the corresponding MIDI messages (control change). Similarly, when a valid MIDI message is received at the MIDI IN connector, the B9.lut will vary the corresponding parameter. This makes it possible to use the B9.lut as a real-time controller for other MIDI enabled devices, or alter effect parameters and module on/off status under control of a MIDI sequencer, synthesizer, or other MIDI enabled device. @Exchange patch data between two B9.ut units via MIDI The patch data of the B9.lut can be output as MIDI messages (system exclusive), for copying to another B9.lut.
Selecting the MIDI channel To enable correct sending and receivi program change, control change and other MIDI messages, the MIDI channel (1 — 16) setting of the B9.lut and the other MIDI device must be matched. To set the MIDI channel at the B9.lut, proceed as follows.

( Linking Effects The patches of the B9.lut can be thought of as ten serially linked effect modules, as shown in the illustration below. You can use all effect modules together or selectively set certain modules to off to use just specific effect modules. Pre-amp section ÉcouP Ruawen M exr Loop RS EEE EE EE For some effect modules, you can select an © PASSIVE effect type from several possible choices. For example, the MOD/EFX2 module comprises Chorus, Flanger, and other effect types from which you can choose one. The five-module series EXT LOOP, ZNR, PRE- AMP, EQ, and CABINET functions as a virtual preamplifier. Using the Pickup Select function The B9.lut incorporates a Pickup Select function that optimizes the signal level to match the type of pickup in use. When starting to use the B9.lut or when changing the bass guitar, you should choose a suitable pickup setting as described below.
