Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the 607.

About power

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

AC adapter operation

• Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9V 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.
• If the unit is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet.

Battery operation

• Use four IEC R6 (size AA) 1.5 V batteries (alkaline/manganese).
• The 607 cannot be used for recharging. Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure you choose the correct type.
• If the 607 is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery 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

Avoid using your 607 in environments where it will be exposed to:

• Extreme temperature
  High humidity or moisture
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

• The 607 is a precision instrument. Except for the foot switches, do not push other parts with your feet or subject them to strong force.

Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or liquids can enter the unit.
- Be sure to turn the power to all equipment off before making connections.
- Before moving the unit, turn the power off, and disconnect all cables and the AC adapter.

Alterations

Never open the case of the 607 or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

Features

The 607 is a sophisticated multi-effect processor for bass guitar with the following great features.

Outstanding performance

The 607 provides a palette of 35 built-in high-quality effects, including a wide variation of distortion settings and flexible modulation effects. Up to nine effects can be used simultaneously. In terms of performance and features, the 607 far surpasses everything in its class.

Built-in expression pedal

The integrated pedal makes it easy to adjust effect depth or volume during play. Use it to adjust gain, get a gutsy pitch bend, or perform many other advanced functions.

- Smooth operation feel

The intuitive operation of the unit is derived from the highly popular ZOOM 506 II. Dedicated selectors for the most important distortion effects make the 607 a snap to use. Controlling distortion type and intensity during a performance is smooth and easy.

Built-in auto-chromatic tuner

The integrated auto-chromatic tuning function is tailored to the needs of the bass guitarist and can be used on stage.

- Dual power supply enables operation anywhere

The dual power supply allows the unit to be powered either from an AC adapter or from four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries. Continuous operation time on batteries is 7 hours with manganese batteries and 24 hours with alkaline batteries.

Basic Terms

This section explains some important terms that you will find in this manual.

■ Effect module

As shown in the illustration below, the effect sound of the 607 is created by routing the signal through a series of different effects. Each of these effects is called an effect module.

In addition to effect modules such as DRIVE (distortion), MOD/PITCH (modulation), or DLY/REV (delay and reverb), you can also use the ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) and amp simulator simultaneously. Parameters such as effect intensity can be adjusted for each module, and modules can be switched on and off as needed.

■ Effect type

Each effect module of the 607 contains a variety of effects in the same general family. These are called effect types, and you can select one of these at a time. For example, the MOD/PITCH module comprises the effect types chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, etc.

■ Effect parameter

Each effect module has various parameters that control how the effect operates. By adjusting the parameters for each module, you have a considerable amount of control over the final sound.

Patch

In the 607, effects are stored and called up in patches. A patch contains information about module on/off settings, selected effect types, and effect parameter settings. The 607 can store 42 patches in its internal memory.

Bank

A combination of 6 patches is called a bank. The 607 has a total of 7 banks which are labelled A through G. The patches in each bank are numbered 1 through 6. To select a patch, you specify the bank and the

patch number. A1 selects patch 1 in bank A, and F4 selects patch 4 in bank F.

Play mode/edit mode

These terms refer to the operation state of the 607. The mode is selected with the PLAY/EDIT selector. In play mode, you can select the effects for playing, and in edit mode, you can change the effect settings.

Operating the Unit on Battery Power

1. Turn the unit over, push the latch of the battery compartment cover, and lift the cover up.

1. Insert four fresh IEC R6 (size AA) batteries into the battery compartment. All four batteries must face in the same direction.

1. Close the battery compartment cover.

Make sure that the latch snaps shut.

• When a dot (. ) flashes on the display, the batteries are almost exhausted. Replace them as soon as possible.
• When not using the 607, you should disconnect the cable plugged into the INPUT jack, to prevent draining the batteries.

To switch the DRIVE module on or off

• Press the GAIN [+] /[-] keys together.

When the DRIVE module is switched off, the DRIVE LED at the top right of the DRIVE selector goes out.

The change made in this way is only temporary. When you select a different patch, the setting will revert to the original condition. If you want to keep the change, store the patch, as described on page 18.

Editing means changing the various effect parameter settings of a patch. Use an existing patch as a starting point and adjust the parameters to create your own original sound.

Select the effect parameter

• Use the PLAY/EDIT selector to select the module and parameter you want to edit.

The 607 switches to the edit mode and the value of the currently selected effect parameter appears on the display. When the 607

is in edit mode, a dot is shown in the bottom right corner of the display.

Parameter value

For information on effect modules and parameters, see the section "Effect Parameters" at the end of this manual.

The DRIVE module can also be directly edited by using the DRIVE selector and GAIN [+] /[-] keys ( p.14).

Adjust the parameter setting value

Use the VALUE [+] /[-] keys.

The keys operate as follows.

• Keeping one key depressed: Value changes continuously.
• Hold down one key while pressing the other key: Value increases rapidly.
• Pressing both keys simultaneously: Switch to next effect type in same module.

3 Changing the module on/off setting

• Press both [] / [] foot switches together.

This switches the effect module that was selected with the PLAY/EDIT selector on or off.

When the PLAY/EDIT selector is set to "CONTOUR" or "TIME", pressing the [ ] / [] foot switches together has no effect.

4 Terminate the edit mode

• Set the PLAY/EDIT selector to "PLAY". The unit reverts to the play mode.

The editing changes made in this way are only temporary. When you return to the play mode and select a different patch, the settings will revert to the original condition. If you want to keep the change, store the settings before switching the patch ( p.18).

Storing/Copying Patches

An edited patch can be stored at any desired location in the internal memory of the unit. It is also possible to copy an existing patch and store it at another location.

Press the STORE key in play mode or edit mode.

The bank and patch number on the display are flashing.

Use the [▼]/[▲] for switches to select the target loca in which to

When storing or copying a patch, it is not possible to use the VALUE [+]/[-] keys to switch only the bank number.

Press the STORE key once more.

When the store/copy process is completed, the unit reverts to the original mode, with the target patch being selected.

When the store/copy process is executed, the previous content of the store target is overwritten and cannot be restored if it was a user-created patch. You should therefore take care when selecting a target patch. However, the factory default settings of an individual patch or all preset patches can be restored, as described on page 22.

4 To cancel the store/copy process

• Press the VALUE [+] /[-] key instead of the STORE key. The store process is aborted and the unit reverts to the previous mode.

The store process is also canceled when [PLAY/EDIT] selector is operated instead of the VALUE [+] /[-] key.

Changing the "Patch Call" Method

In normal operation, the sound of the 607 will change immediately if a patch is selected in play mode. This may be undesirable if a patch from a distant memory location is called and the sound of other unwanted patches in between is heard. If desired, you can change the "Patch call"

method from direct selection to the pre-select method. In pre-select mode, you first specify the desired patch and then confirm the selection. The sound will only change after you have confirmed the operation.

Changing the "Patch call" method to pre-select

To change the "Patch call" method to preselect, you must turn the unit on while holding down the [▲] foot switch.

2 Specifying the desired patch

Use the [ ] / [] foot switches to select the patch you want to use next. You can also use the VALUE [+] /[-] keys to switch just the bank.

The bank and patch number of the patch to be used next will be shown on the display, but the sound does not yet change.

3 Confirm the patch change

• When the desired patch is shown, press the [] / [] foot switches together.

The patch change is confirmed, the sound changes, and the display stops flashing and stays constantly lit.

4 Changing the "Patch call" method back to direct select

• To change the "Patch call" method back to normal direct select operation, simply turn the unit off and back on again.

This will return the patch select method to the default setting.

Restoring the Factory Defaults

The 607 comes with 42 recommended patches (factory default patches). Even if you overwrite any of these patches, you can restore the original contents of the patch at any time.

There are two ways of restoring factory defaults. "All Initialize" returns the entire set of patches to the original condition. "Factory Recall" restores a specific patch to the original condition.

1. While holding down the STORE key, turn the unit on.

The indication "AL" flashes on the display.

To perform All Initialize

1. 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 VALUE [-] key.

All user-created patches will be lost when performing All Initialize. Use this function with care.

To perform Factory Recall

1. Use the [] / [] foot switches to select the patch you want to return to the original condition.

The specified bank and patch number flashes on the display.

During Factory Recall, the VALUE [+] /[-] keys cannot be used to switch the bank only.

1. Press the STORE key once more.

The settings of the specified patch are returned to the factory default condition.

If desired, repeat steps 2 and 3 to restore other patches. To terminate the Factory Recall operation, press the VALUE [-] key. The unit will switch to the play mode at this point.

Adjusting the Expression Pedal

The expression pedal of the 607 is adjusted for optimum operation at the factory, but sometimes, readjustment may be necessary. If the action of the pedal seems to be insufficient, or if a large change occurs even if the pedal is only lightly pushed, adjust the pedal as follows.

1. While holding down the PEDAL ASSIGN key, turn the unit on.

The indication "dn" flashes on the display.

1. With the expression pedal fully raised, press the STORE key.

The display indication changes to "UP".

Pedal fully raised

1. Push the expression pedal fully down and then lift your foot off the pedal.

When you release your foot, the pedal goes back a little.

1. Press the STORE key.

The adjustment is completed, and the unit returns to the play mode.

The point where the STORE key is pressed in step 3 determines the module on/off switching point. If you want the pedal to perform on/off switching with a lighter touch, push the key at a somewhat higher position of the pedal.

Effect Sequence

A patch of the 607 can be thought of as 8 effect modules connected in series, as shown in the illustration below. Depending on the on/off setting of the individual modules, you can use all eight effect modules together or use only specific modules.

Effect module sequence and effect types

For some effect modules, you can select among several effect types. For example, the MOD/PITCH module offers the choices CHORUS, FLANGER, and PHASE SHIFT. In this module, you can also have two effect types operating in succession, such as OCTAVE CHORUS.

Effect Parameters

This section explains all effect types and parameters in the effect modules.

This module contains a 4-band equalizer. Use the VALUE [+] / [-] keys to select the EQ characteristics.

4 BAND EQ (4-Band Equalizer) Allows boost or cut in the bass/middle/high/presence band. You can select one of 50 available patterns (1 - 50). 1 - 10: Lower values result in attenuated highs and emphasized lows. 11 - 20: Lower values result in lower emphasized frequency. 21 - 24: Lower values result in emphasized midrange. 25: Flat characteristics 26 - 30: Higher values result in emphasized highs. 31 - 40: Higher values result in higher emphasized frequency. 41 - 50: Higher values result in emphasized presence and lows.

OFF (Off) Turns the EQ module off.

CONTOUR

EQ module extended parameters

These parameters serve to adjust the effect operation for the effect type selected with the EQ module basic parameters.

CONTOUR (Contour)

Using the 0 value as a reference (flat setting), negative values cause an increasing boost in the low range and positive values cause an increasing boost in the high range. When the EQ module is On, this parameter is always active. Check this parameter if the 4-band EQ effect type setting does not seem to produce the desired results.

ZNR/AMP
ZNR/AMP module
This module is comprised of ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) for reducing noise during play pauses or silent passages, and an amp simulator which simulates the sound of various bass guitar amplifiers. Use the VALUE [+] / [-] keys to adjust the ZNR threshold or select the type of amplifier.

PITCH + Original sound 0 TIME - PITCH + Effect sound (left channel) TIME Effect sound (right channel) TIME - Adjusts the depth of the effect.

CHORUS 2 This is a bright sounding chorus effect with depth and spread. Higher setting values result in a more pronounced chorus effect. Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect sound.

FLANGER This effect produces a unique, undulating sound by shifting the pitch up and down. Higher setting values result in faster modulation. Adjusts the modulation rate of the effect sound.

PHASE SHIFT (Phaser) This effect mixes a phase-shifted component with the original sound, resulting in a pulsating character. Higher setting values result in faster modulation. Adjusts the modulation rate of the effect sound.

STEP This effect introduces a filter which changes randomly, resulting in an auto-arpeggio sound. Higher setting values give faster step sound change. Adjusts the step sound change rate.

CRY1 (Cry 1) This effect changes the sound in a way similar to a talking simulator. Higher setting values result in a more pronounced sound change. Adjusts the cry effect input sensitivity.

CRY2 (Cry 2) This is a cry effect with a different sound character. Higher setting values result in a more pronounced sound change. Adjusts the cry effect input sensitivity.

DEFRET This effect makes the sound of a fretted bass resemble that of a fretless bass. It is especially suitable for playing single notes. Higher setting values result in a more pronounced defret effect. Adjusts the defret effect intensity.

BASS SYNTH (Bass Synthesizer) This effect creates the sound of a bass synthesizer. It is best suited for playing single notes. You can select among various patterns with preset sound character and mixing balance. • b1: Bass synthesizer with fat low end and multiple harmonics (only effect sound is output) • b2: Bass synthesizer with resonant filter (only effect sound is output) • b3: Bass synthesizer with soft sound and few harmonics (only effect sound is output) • b4: b1 effect sound with a slight amount of original sound mixed in • b5: b2 effect sound with a slight amount of original sound mixed in • b6: b3 effect sound with a slight amount of original sound mixed in • b7: b1 effect sound and original sound in 1:1 ratio • b8: b2 effect sound and original sound in 1:1 ratio • b9: b3 effect sound and original sound in 1:1 ratio Adjusts the mixing ratio of effect sound and original sound.

OCTAVER This effect downshifts the sound by one octave and mixes it to the original sound. Higher setting values result in a higher effect sound ratio. Adjusts the mixing ratio of effect sound and original sound.

OCTAVER → CHORUS This effect type is a serial connection of octave and chorus. Higher setting values result in stronger octave sound. Chorus intensity is fixed.

Adjusts the mixing ratio of octave effect sound and original sound.

PITCH SHIFT (Pitch Shift) This effect varies the pitch of the original sound. Nine preset pitch shift patterns are available. •P1/P2: A component shifted by 1 octave down is mixed to the original sound. The mixing ratio differs for P1 and P2. •P3/P4: A component shifted by a perfect fifth down is mixed to the original sound. The mixing ratio differs for P3 and P4. •P5/P6: A component shifted by a perfect fourth up is mixed to the original sound. The mixing ratio differs for P5 and P6. •P7/P8: A component shifted by 1 octave up is mixed to the original sound. The mixing ratio differs for P7 and P8. •P9: A slightly pitch-shifted component is mixed to the original sound, resulting in a chorus with slight modulation.

Original sound P1/P2: Effect sound P3/P4: Effect sound P5/P6: Effect sound P7/P8: Adjusted the mixing ratio between input signal and effect sound.

L1 L9	PEDAL PITCH This effect uses the expression pedal to shift the pitch of the input signal up or down. NOVE	Simply selecting PEDAL PITCH as effect type is not enough to obtain a pitch change when moving the pedal. To enable this function, you must assign the expression pedal to the MOD/PITCH module with the PEDAL ASSIGN key.
	Adjusts the amount of pitch shift. The relation between pitch shift range and setting values is shown in the table on the below.
	PEDAL PITCH shift range
		Pedal fully raised
	L1	±0 cent
	L2	±0 cent
	L3	±0 cent
	L4	±0 cent
	L5	±0 cent
	L6	-1 octave + original sound
	L7	-700 cent (7 semitones down) + original sound
	L8	-∞ (0 Hz) + original sound
	L9	-∞ (0 Hz) + original sound
Off (Off) Turns the MOD/PITCH module off.
TIME DLY/REV		DLY/REV
		DLY/REV module (basic parameters)
		This module contains delay and reverb effects. Use the VALUE [+] / [-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity.
		Adjusts the ratio between original and effect sound (common to all effect types in the DLY/REV module).
DELAY (Delay) This is a conventional digital delay effect. By using the output in stereo, you can achieve a ping-pong delay where the delay sound alternates between the left and right channels. The right-digit setting values control the feedback (number of repetitions) and the mixing ratio between original sound and effect sound.		LEVEL Original sound Delay sound Delay time TIME
E1 E9	ECHO (Echo) This is a delay effect with a warm sound similar to a tape echo. By using the output in stereo, you can achieve a ping-pong delay where the delay sound alternates between the left and right channels. The right-digit setting values control the feedback (number of repetitions) and the mixing ratio between original sound and effect sound.
H1 H9	HALL (Hall) This is a reverb effect that produces a sound similar to the reverberation in a concert hall. Higher right-digit setting values result in stronger reverb.
r1 r9	ROOM (Room) This is a reverb effect that simulates the reverberation in a room. Higher right-digit setting values result in stronger reverb.
OFF (Off) Turns the DLY/REV module off.

TIME

DLY/REV module (extended parameters)

These parameters serve to adjust the delay time or reverb time for the effect type selected with the DLY/REV module basic parameters. The parameters are linked to the DLY/REV module and are off when the DLY/REV module is off.

DELAY TIME (Delay Time) (When DELAY or ECHO is selected as effect type) Sets the delay time in the range from 1 - 37. The actual delay time is the setting value x 10 (ms). (Example: A setting of "15" results in a delay time of 150 ms.)

REVERB TIME (Reverb Time) (When HALL or ROOM is selected as effect type) Sets the reverb time in the range from 1 - 10. Higher right-digit setting values result in longer reverb time.

Usage Precautions

- Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the 607 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 607, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the 607 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 607. 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.

Troubleshooting

No power	Patch does not change
Refer to "1. Power-on" on page 8.	Check whether patch call method is set to pre-select (see page 20).
No sound	High level of noise
Is the expression pedal fully raised? For some patches, the expression pedal controls the volume and the pedal must be pushed down to obtain a suitable volume.	Is ZOOM AC adapter being used? Be sure to use only adapter for 9 V DC, 300 mA with center minus plug (ZOOM AD-0006).
Operating the expression pedal does not give the desired effect.	Battery life is short
Try adjusting the expression pedal sensitivity (see page 23).	Are manganese batteries being used? Continuous operation time is 24 hours with alkaline batteries but only 7 hours with manganese batteries. The use of alkaline batteries is recommended.
