This symbol indicates explanations about dangerous matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the device incorrectly, bodily injury and damage to the equipment could result.

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the G1N/G1XN.

Power requirements

Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever possible. When powering the unit from batteries, use only alkaline types.

[AC adapter operation]

• Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 V DC, 300mA and is equipped with a "center minus" plug (Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter other than the specified type may damage the unit and pose a safety hazard.
• Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies the rated voltage required by the adapter.
• When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet, always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull at the cable.
• During lightning or when not using the unit for an extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

[Battery operation]

Use four conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries (alkaline).
- The G1N/G1XN cannot be used for recharging.
- Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure you choose the correct type.
- When not using the unit for an extended period, remove the batteries from the unit.
- If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery compartment and the battery terminals carefully to remove all remnants of battery fluid.
- While using the unit, the battery compartment cover should be closed.

Environment

To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock or malfunction, avoid using your G1N/G1XN in environments where it will be exposed to:

• Extreme temperatures
• Heat sources such as radiators or stoves
  High humidity or moisture
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

• Never place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the G1N/G1XN since this can cause electric shock.
• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the G1N/G1XN since this can cause fire.
• The G1N/G1XN is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue pressure on the keys and other controls. Also take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive pressure.
  Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or liquids can enter the unit.

Connecting cables and input and output jacks

You should always turn off the power to the G1N/ G1XN and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection cables and the power cord before moving the G1N/G1XN.

Alterations

Never open the case of the G1N/G1XN or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

Volume

Do not use the G1N/G1XN at a loud volume for a long time since this can cause hearing impairment.

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the G1N/G1XN has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the G1N/G1XN, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the G1N/G1XN included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the G1N/G1XN. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the finish or damage the surface.

Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future reference.

Terms Used in This Manual

This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G1N/G1XN manual.

- Effect module

As shown in the illustration above, a patch in the G1N/G1XN can be thought of as a combination of up to eight single effects. Each such effect is referred to as an effect module.

- Effect type

Some effect modules have several different effects which are referred to as effect types. For example, the MODULATION module is comprised of chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, and other effect types. Only one of these can be selected at a time.

- Effect parameter

All effect modules have various parameters that can be adjusted. These are called effect parameters or simply parameters. 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 G1N/G1XN, effect module combinations

are stored and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch is comprised of information about the on/off status and effect parameter settings used in each module.

Bank

A group of ten patches is called a bank

The memory of the G1N/G1XN comprises a total of 8 banks, labelled with letters A to d (user-editable banks) and numbers 0 to 3 (read-only preset banks), as shown in the illustration at top right.

Mode

The internal status of the G1N/G1XN is referred to as the operation mode. The function of keys and controls differs, depending on the respective mode. Modes of the G1N/G1XN include play mode for selecting and playing patches, rhythm mode for playing a rhythm pattern, edit mode for modifying effects, and store mode for saving patches.

Operating the G1N/G1XN on batteries

1. Turn the G1N/G1XN over and open the cover of the battery compartment on the bottom.

2. Insert four fresh IEC R6 (size AA) batteries.

3. Close the cover of the battery compartment.

When the batteries are getting low, the indication "bt" appears on the display.

When operating the G1N/G1XN on batteries, it is advisable to disconnect the guitar cable plug from the [INPUT] jack when not using the unit, to conserve battery power.

This stereo phone jack serves for connection to the guitar amplifier. It is also possible to use a Y cable for sending the output to two amplifiers, or to plug a pair of stereo headphones into this jack.

Guitar amplifier

Selecting a Patch for Playing (Play Mode)

This section explains basic functions of the play mode.

Turn power on

The volume control on the connected amplifier should be turned down.

When using the unit on batteries

Plug a shielded cable into the [INPUT] jack.

When using the unit with an AC adapter

Plug the cable from the adapter into the [DC IN] jack.

Turn the guitar amplifier on and adjust the volume to a suitable position.

Set the G1N/G1XN to play mode

Set the Module selector to "PLAY".

The bank and patch number are shown on the display.

Immediately after turning the G1N/G1XN on, the unit will be in play mode, regardless of the position of the Module selector.

Select a patch

Use the foot switches.

Press the [▲] foot switch to call up the next higher patch.

Press the [] foot switch to call up the next lower patch.

Repeatedly pressing one foot switch cycles through patches in the order A0-A9 ... d0-d9, 00-09 ... 30-39, A0.

Directly switch a bank

Press the [BANK UP·TAP] key.

Repeatedly pressing the key cycles through banks in the order A ... d, 0 ... 3, A.

With the G1N, using the foot switch (FS01) to switch banks is also possible ( p.18) .

Adjust the master level

Operate the [VALUE] knob.

The master level setting appears on the display.

The master level setting applies to all patches. The setting range is 0 - 98, 1.0. It will be reset to 80 when power is turned off and then on again.

When using headphones, this knob adjusts the listening volume.

Using the Tuner

To use the tuner function of the G1N/G1XN, the built-in effects must be bypassed (temporarily turned off) or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off).

Switch to bypass or mute

• Setting the G1N/G1XN to the bypass condition
  In play mode or rhythm mode ( p. 12), press both [ ] / [ ] foot switches together. When the indication "bP" appears on the display, release the switches within 1 second.
• Setting the G1N/G1XN to the mute state
  In play mode or rhythm mode ( p. 12), press both [ ] / [ ] foot switches together. Wait until the indication "bP" on the display changes to "Mt" and then release the foot switches.

The bypass or mute condition cannot be activated when the unit is in edit mode ( p.14) .

Patch change at bypass/mute

When you press both [] / [] foot switches together while playing your instrument, the sound may change momentarily just before the bypass/mute condition is activated. This is because the G1N/G1XN switches to the next higher or lower patch when one of the foot switches is pressed slightly earlier. (When you cancel the bypass/mute condition, the original patch number will be

active again.)

This behavior is not a defect. It is due to the very high speed at which the G1N/G1XN responds to patch switching. To prevent the sound change caused by the above condition, do not produce sound with your instrument until the bypass/mute condition is fully established.

Tune your instrument

Play the open string to tune, and adjust the pitch.

The left side of the display shows the note which is closest to the current pitch.

$$ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm {\bf A} = \bar {\mathrm {H}} \quad \mathrm {\bf C} ^ {#} = \bar {\mathrm {L}}. \mathrm {\bf F} = \bar {\mathrm {F}} \ \mathbf {A} ^ {#} = \bar {\mathsf {F}} _ {\cdot} \quad \mathbf {D} = \square^ {\top} \quad \mathbf {F} ^ {#} = \bar {\mathsf {F}} _ {\cdot}. \ \mathbf {B} = \square \quad \mathbf {D} ^ {#} = \square . \mathbf {G} = \square \ \mathbf {C} = \left[ \begin{array}{c c} & \mathbf {E} = \bar {\mathbf {E}} \ & \end{array} \right. \quad \mathbf {G} ^ {#} = \left[ \begin{array}{c} & \ & \end{array} \right.. \ \end{array} $$

The right side of the display shows a symbol that indicates by how much the tuning is off.

Pitch is high Pitch is correct Pitch is low

Indication turns faster the more the pitch is off

Adjusting the reference pitch of the tuner

To fine-adjust the reference pitch of the G1N/G1XN tuner, turn the [VALUE] knob in the bypass/mute condition.

When you turn the knob, the current reference pitch is shown for a time on the display. The default setting is 40 (center A = 440Hz

While the reference pitch is shown, turn the [VALUE] knob to adjust the value in the range from 35 - 45 (center A = 435 to 445Hz ).

When power is turned off and on again, the reference pitch setting will be reset to 40 (center A = 440Hz

Return to play mode

Press one of the [] / [] foot switches.

Tune your instrument

Using the Rhythm Function (Rhythm Mode)

This section describes how to use the built-in rhythm function that plays realistic drum sounds in various patterns.

Select rhythm mode

Set the Module selector to the "RHYTHM" position.

The number of the currently selected rhythm pattern (01 - 40) appears on the display.

Also while in rhythm mode, you can use the patch that was selected immediately before switching the mode. However, reverb effects are disabled in rhythm mode. The rhythm function can also be used in play mode.

Start the rhythm function

Press the RHYTHM [▶/■] key.

Rhythm pattern playback will start also if you press the RHYTHM [▶/■] key in play mode. However, changing the rhythm pattern or adjusting the rhythm volume and tempo is not possible.

Select a rhythm pattern

To switch between the 40 built-in rhythm patterns, press one of the [] / [] foot switches. (For information on pattern contents, see page 26.)

When you press both [] / [] foot switches in rhythm mode, the G1N/G1XN switches to the bypass/mute condition. The tuning function ( p, 10) can be used in this condition while playing the rhythm pattern.

Adjust the rhythm volume

Turn the [VALUE] knob.

The current setting (0 - 30) is shown briefly on the display.

Adjust the tempo

The rhythm pattern tempo can be adjusted in the range of 40 - 250 BPM (beats per minute).

• To continuously change the tempo

Hit the [BANK UP-TAP] key once and then turn the [VALUE] knob while the tempo value is being shown on the display.

• To manually specify the tempo

Hit the [BANK UP-TAP] key at least twice in the desired interval. The G1N/G1XN automatically detects the interval in which the key is pressed the second and subsequent times, and sets the tempo accordingly (tap tempo function).

While the above steps are carried out, the new tempo value (40 - 250) is shown briefly on the display. For values in the range from 100 to 199, a dot is shown in the center, and for values of 200 and above, dots are shown in the center and in the bottom right corner.

With the G1N, using a separately available foot switch to manually adjust the tempo is also possible ( p.18) . The G1XN does not support use of a foot switch.

-Dots are shown Tempo = 240 BPM

Stop the rhythm

Press the RHYTHM [▶/■] key. The G1N/G1XN returns to the previous condition.

When you return to play mode and have made any changes to the patch, the dot () will be shown in the bottom right of the display. If you select another patch in this condition, the changes you have made in edit mode will be lost unless you store the patch first. To retain the changes, store the patch as described on page 16.

Storing/Copying Patches (Store Mode)

An edited patch can be stored in a user bank (A-d). It is also possible to store an existing patch in another location to create a copy.

In play mode or edit mode, press the [STORE] key

The bank and patch number flash on the display.

Patches of preset banks (0 - 3) are read-only. No patches can be stored or copied into these locations. If you press the [STORE] key while a patch from these banks is selected, the patch "A0" (bank A, patch number 0) will be selected automatically as default store/copy target.

Select the store/copy target bank and patch number

• Use the [] / [] foot switches to select the bank/patch number.
• To switch only the bank, use the [BANK UP-TAP] key.

Only a user bank (A - d) can be selected as store/copy target bank.
During the store/copy process, the foot switch (FS01) cannot be used to change banks.

Press the [STORE] key once more

When the store/copy process is completed, the G1N/ G1XN returns to the previous mode, with the target patch selected.

To cancel the store process, operate the [VALUE] knob before pressing the [STORE] key again.

Restoring Factory Defaults

Even after overwriting user patches with other patches, their original content can be restored in a single operation ("All Initialize" function).

To do this, turn power to the G1N/G1XN on while holding down the [STORE] key.

The indication "AL" appears on the display.

To carry out the All Initialize function, press the [STORE] key once more. All patch settings are returned to the factory default condition, and the unit switches to play mode.

To cancel All Initialize, press the RHYTHM
[/] key instead of the [STORE] key.

When you carry out All Initialize, any newly created patches that were stored in the user-editable bank will be deleted (overwritten). Perform this operation with care to prevent losing any patches that you want to keep.

Changing the Way Patches Are Called Up

This section describes how to change the patch selection method of the G1N/G1XN to "pre-select". In this mode, you first select the patch to use next, and then perform an additional step to activate the patch.

MODULATION (Type&Prm1)		MODULATION (RATE)	RATE (Prm2)
Selects the MODULATION module effect type and controls parameter 1 at the same time.			Controls the value of parameter 2 of the MODULATION module. The parameter action differs, depending on the effect type.
Chorus		1→50	Rate
This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted component to the original signal. Higher right-digit settings result in higher effect sound mixing ratio.			Adjusts the modulation rate.
Ensemble
This is a chorus ensemble with three-dimensional movement. Higher right-digit settings result in higher effect sound mixing ratio.
Flanger		1→50	Rate TAP
This effect produces a resonating and strongly undulating sound. Higher right-digit settings emphasize the characteristics of the effect.			Adjusts the modulation rate.
Step
Special effect that changes the sound in a staircase pattern. Higher right-digit settings emphasize the characteristics of the effect.
Pitch Shift		12→-1	Shift
This effect shifts the pitch of the original sound up or down. Higher right-digit settings increase the mixing ratio of the effect sound.			Sets the pitch shift amount in semitones. "dt" results in a detune effect.
Mono Pitch		1→12
This is a monophonic pitch shifter (for single-note playing) with reduced flutter. Higher right-digit settings increase the mixing ratio of the effect sound.
HPS (Harmonized Pitch Shifter)		1, 10	Key
This is an intelligent pitch shifter that automatically generates major scale harmonies according to a preset key. Higher right-digit settings increase the mixing ratio of the effect sound.			Specifies the tonic for the scale used for pitch shifting. The "o" symbol stands for #.
Vibrato		1→50	Rate TAP
This is an effect with automatic vibrato. Higher right-digit settings emphasize the vibrato intensity.			Adjusts the modulation rate.

Pitch Bend			Pedal Position
This effect allows using the expression pedal to change the pitch in real time. Right-digit settings select the pitch change type caused by the expression pedal (see Table 1).			Sets the initial value for the pitch shift amount (the value that is active when the pedal is at rest). The original sound/effect sound level balance also changes according to the parameter 1 setting.

Troubleshooting

No power

Refer to "Turn power on" on page 8.

• Reverb effect does not operate

While a rhythm pattern is playing, the reverber effect is not available. Stop the rhythm pattern first ( p. 12).

• Patch switching does not change the sound

Is the patch selection method of the G1N/G1XN set to "pre-select" ( p. 18)? Turn power off and

then on again to return to normal operation.

High level of noise

Is ZOOM AC adapter being used? Be sure to use only an adapter for 9VDC 300mA with center minus plug (ZOOM AD-0006).

• Battery life is short

Are manganese batteries being used? Continuous operation time is about 12 hours with alkaline batteries.
