Thank you for selecting the ZOOM G9.2tt (simply called the "G9.2#t" in this manual). The G9.2tt 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 G9.2tt offers 100 patches in the read-only preset groups, plus 100 patches in the user groups which can be freely rewritten, resulting in a total of 200 choices. Send / return level and on/off settings of external effects connected via the SEND/RETURN jacks can also be stored as part of a patch. © Great for stage work or direct recording The pre-amp section features two channels, and each distortion type has two dedicated algorithms, one for live playing and one for direct recording. The CABINET effect simulates amp and mic recording characteristics, and the algorithm is automatically switched according to the CABINET on/off setting. An amp select feature matches the sound to the amp you are using. Connecting the G9.21t to the power amplifier input of the guitar amp is no problem: simply set the -10 dBm/+4 dBm switch to the +4 dBm position. © Built-in tuner supports special tuning requirements In addition to the standard auto-chromatic tuner, various other tuning methods are possible. The tuner also allows easy tuning on stage without producing sound. © Two expression pedals built in as standard Adjust effect tone or volume in real time with the two expression pedals that are built right into the unit. The right-side pedal in particular deserves attention: the Z-Pedal that senses not only vertical but even horizontal movement. Step into the next dimension of pedal play and discover a whole new world of possibilities. © Tube powered Accelerator and Energizer The analog input stage features an Accelerator that lets you freely mix the signals amplified by a vacuum tube circuit and a solid-state circrit. In this way, you can add characteristic tube compression and distortion to a clean sound. In addition, the G9.21 also features an Energizer that processes the analog output signal to produce that characteristic warm and dynamic sound that is the hallmark of a tube amplifier. © Programmable function foot switches Two user-programmable function foot switches further enhance flexibility and let you optimize the unit for any application. Use them to switch pre-amp channels, 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 G9.2tt and to ensure optimum performance and reliability. 4 ZOOM G9.2tt Terms Used in This Manual This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G9.2tt documentation M Effect module As shown i thought of as a combination of several single effects. Each of these is referred to as an effect module. The G9.2ut offers a compressor effect module (COMP), amp simulator/distortion 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. M Effect 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. the illustration below, the G9.21t can be M Effect 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 a compact effect, the parameters change the tone and effect intensity similar 10 the knobs on the device. m Patch In the G9.2it, effect module combinations are stored and called up in units referred 10 as patches. À 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 M Bank and group Patches are organized in user groups (U, u) which can be modified, and in preset groups (A, b) which are read-only. Since each group comprises SEND RETURN Pre-amp section L'' ChianërE 50 patches, groups A, b, U, and u offer a total of 200 patches. In the G9.21, patches are called up five at a time and selected with the foot switches. These five patches are together referred to as a bank. There are ten banks in a group, numbered 0 through 9. User groups Preset groups + —— ——5 Group U = Modes The G9.21t has five different operation modes, as listed below © Play mode In this mode, patches can be selected and played. This is the default mode of the G9.2tt that is always active when power is turned on. © Manual mode In this mode, you play your instrument while using the foot switches 10 turn modules on and off. @ Edit mode In this mode, the effect parameters of a patch c: 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 G9.21t 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 built-in tuner can be used in either condition. ZOOM G9.2tt

A setting of 80 results in unity gain (no level increase or decrease). NOTE ‘The changes that you have made to a patch will be lost when you select another patch. To keep the changes, store the patch first (-> p. 28). Using the Accelerator The input stage of the G9.2tt incorporates an Accelerator function that amplifies the analog signal before effect processing using a tube or solid state circuit. This lets you mix characteristic tube compression and distortion with clean solid state sound and then send the signal to the effect circuitry. HINT The Accelerator is active in all modes. Accelerator settings are not stored as part of the patch. To adjust the Accelerator, use the controls of the Accelerator section on the panel. The control functions are explained below. [TUBE] control ISOLID STATE] control
ZOOM G9.2tt Selecting Patches for Playing (Play Mode) ‘© [TUBE] control This control adjusts the input signal gain of the tube circuit. Turning the control clockwise increases gain and also increases distortion. Settings higher than about three o'clock will drastically increase the volume and distortion. This can be used to strongly emphasize the typical tube compression and distortion character. © [SOLID STATE] control This control adjusts the input signal gain of the solid state circuit. Turning the control clockwise increases only the volume. At the maximum position, gain is about +6 dB. This can be used to increase the gain for the signal before effect processing. Depending on the settings made for the Accelerator, the effect intensity of the COMP module and the distortion depth of the PRE-AMP module also will change. When editing patches, we recommend using the following setting examples for the Accelerator. © Normal Clean This setting gives a clean tone with minimal distortion. © Tube Pre-amp This setting emphasizes the tube-like compression feeling. Raising the [TUBE] control further will drastically increase the volume and distortion.
ZOOM Go.2tt © Clean - Tube Mix This setting gives a mix of solid state clean sound and tube distortion sound. NOTE When both controls are set to minimum, no signal will be input to the G9.2tt. Using the Energizer The G9.2tt incorporates an Energizer function that processes the analog output signal using a tube circuit. This feature is suitable for making the guitar stand out in an ensemble setting, or for adding that characteristic tube distortion sound. HINT The Energizer is active in all modes. The Energizer settings are not stored as part of the patch. To adjust the Energizer, use the controls of the Energizer section on the panel. The control functions are explained below. [TUBE] control [BOOST] control © [TUBE] control This control adds characteristic tube distortion to the sound, making the guitar stand out more distinctly. When the knob is turned fully counterclockwise, the effect is off. Turning the knob clockwise gradually increases the tube circuit gain, resulting in warmer, more solid crunch or drive sound. Normally, you should set the control to a
Selecting Patches for Playing (Play Mode) position where distortion is not 100 audible, but you can set it higher when you purposely want to emphasize the tube distortion. © [BOOST] control This control boosts specific frequency bands to make the sound more pronounced. When the knob is turned fully counterclockwise, the effect is off. Turning the knob clockwise gradually boosts the low frequencies and the area around 2 KHz. Especially when using a small guitar amp or an audio system with flat response, this can be helpful to produce more dynamic sound. The [BOOST] control is useful in such situations, and for bringing the sound of the guitar more to the foreground when playing in a band. NOTE + _ The intensity of the distortion achieved with the [TUBE] control depends on the guitar and type of pickup. + When both controls are fuly tumed up, the volume level will be higher and excessive distortion may occur. Switching Modules On and Off With Your Foot During Play (Manual Mode) The condition where foot switches 1 — 5 are used to switch the major modules in a patch on and off individually is called "manual mode".

Changing the Sound of a Patch Œait Mode) The condition where you can change the effect types and settings that make up a patch is called "edit mode". This section describes how to use this mode. Patch configuration
As shown in the "Patch configuration" illustration below, the G9.2tt can be thought of as a series of several single effects (effect modules). A combination of these modules and the settings for each module are stored as a patch. Almost all modules comprise several different effects (called effect types), one of which is selected at any given time. For example, the MOD/EFX2 module allows selection of either CHORUS, PITCH SHIFTER, DELAY, etc. The elements that determine the sound of a patch are called effect parameters. Each effect type has its own parameters that can be controlled with knobs on the panel. Even within the same module, when the effect type is different, the effect parameters that can be controlled will also be different. In the module configuration shown below, the series of modules EXT LOOP, ZNR, PRE-AMP, EQ, and CABINET operates as a virtual pre-amp section. Depending on the application, this section can be inserted after the WAH/EFXI module or after the DELAY module (> p. 58). For the ZNR, PRE-AMP and EQ modules, different settings can be made in two channels (AB).

Using the Expression Pedals This section explains how to use the two built-in expression pedals of the G9.21t. About the expression pedals The G9.21t comes standard with two expression pedals that can be used to control specific effect parameters in real time. Expression pedal 1 on the left side has four control targets (P1-1 to P1-4), and a parameter can be assigned for each control target. This makes it possible to adjust up to four parameters of different modules simultaneously. À setting example is shown below, to give you an idea of how the pedal can be used. Control target parameters
Expression pedal 2 on the right side the Z-Pedal that senses not only vertical but also horizontal movement. It has four control targets in the vertical direction (P2V1 to P2V4) and four control targets in the horizontal direction (P2H1 to P2H4). À parameter can be assigned for each control target. With a setting such as shown in the example at right, 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. It is also possible to control both at the same time with one pedal. Expression pedal 2 Control target parameters e P2vi PRE-AMP module fr sai ] eP2H1 MOD/EFX2 module [teste | HINT + The parameter adjustment range covered by expression pedals 1 and 2 can be set for each control target separately. In bypass mode, both expression pedals function as a volume pedal when moved in the vertical direction. (Moving expression pedal 2 in the horizontal direction has no effect.) In mute mode, both expression pedals have no effect. NOTE Expression pedal 2 of the G9.2tt 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.

Using the Effect Loop The EXT LOOP SEND/RETURN jacks on the rear panel of the G9.2t allow connection of a compact effect, rack-mount effect or similar. Settings for external effect on/off and send/return level can be stored as part of a patch. This section explains how to use the effect loop.
1. Connect the external effect to the
EXT LOOP SEND/RETURN jacks. External effect HINT When connecting to an effect that has a rated input level of +4 dBm (rack-mount effect or similar), set the EXT LOOP GAIN switch to the "+4 dBm* setting. When connecting to an instrument effect or a compact effect, use the *-10 dBm" setting. NOTE The external effect should always be set to ON, to allow effect on/off switching at the G9.2tt. Ifthe external effect allows adjustment of mixing ratio between original sound and effect sound {such as a reverb or delay), set the original sound to 0% and the effect sound to 100%.

MIDI Usage Examples This section describes the various MIDI functions of the G9.2tt.
What you can do with MIDI The G9.21t lets you use MIDI in various ways, as described below. © Send and receive patch switching information via MIDI When you switch patches at the G9.2tt, 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 G9.2tt will perform the corresponding patch switch action. This makes it possible to have patches at the G9.2it switched automatically under control of a MIDI sequencer, or link operation of the G9.2tt to patch switching at other MIDI enabled effects. © Send and receive pedal/switch/key operation information via MIDI When you operate specific keys and foot switches of the G9.2tt, or operate the expression pedals 1/2, 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 G9.2tt will vary the corresponding parameter. This makes it possible to use the G9.2tt 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 G9.2tt units via MIDI The patch data of the G9.2tt can be output as MIDI messages (system exclusive), for copying to another G9.2tt.
Selecting the MIDI channel To enable correct sending and receiving of program change, control change and other MIDI messages, the MIDI channel (1 — 16) setting of the G9.21t and the other MIDI device must be matched. To set the MIDI channel of the G9.2tt, proceed as follows.

By pressing the LEXIT] key, you can abort the changes and return to play mode without saving. Sending and receiving patch switching information via MIDI (program change) You can send and receive patch changing information of the G9.21t via MIDI as program change or bank select + program change messages. There are two ways (program change modes) for doing this, as described below. © Direct mode With this method, you use a combination of MIDI bank select and program change messages to specify the patch. In the factory default condition, all patches of the G9.2tt are assigned a MIDI bank number and MIDI program change number. These can be used to directly specify each patch. HINT Bank select is a MIDI message type for specifying the sound category of a synthesizer or similar. It is used in combination with program change messages. Normally, bank select is specified in two parts, using the MSB (most significant bit) and LSB (least significant bit) value. © Mapping mode With this method, you use only the MIDI program change messages to specify the patch. A program change map is used to assign program change numbers 0 — 127 to patches and patches are then selected using the mapping information. With this method, a maximum of 128 patches can be specified.

Operating Dedicated Effects With the Z-Pedal Besides the effects described in the manual, the WAH/EFX1, MOD/EFX2, and REVERB modules of the G9.2tt contain a number of special effect types that are designed to make best use of the capabilities offered by expression pedal 2 (Z-pedal). These effect types are described below. Another additional function is the "ARRM BPM" parameter that can be assigned to an expression pedal. When this is done, the reference tempo for the ARRM function (0 - 250) can be controlled with the pedal. (The patch specific tempo setting is not affected.) LENERE module This effect allows cross-fading of original sound and effect sound (VOX type wah), using the pedal. Try assigning the vertical direction of the Z-pedal (P2V1 - P2V4) to the "Frequency" parameter and the horizontal direction (P2H1 - P2H4) to the "X-Fade" parameter.

US Blues © Fender Tweed Deluxe 53 The very first Fender amplifier was devélopédiby.Leo Fender and his trusty partner, the engineer Doc Kaufman in 1945-46. Actually, the earliéstiiodels-were not made under the “Fender” brand but the K&F Manufacturing Corporation” named after the Initials of the two. The first amplifier using-the "Fender" brand was the “Model 26" in 1947. In 1949, the entry models called “Champion 400/600" series followed. The s0-called "Tweed Amps” covered literally with feeds all over were developed during the 1950 and the 1960. In these years, the company put out various tweed models like the “Bassman” or the “Bandmaster”.. The program of this Zoom G séries is modeled after, among others, the most representative “Ted Deluxe” aka the “Wide Panel” from 1953. This amplifier has a 12AY7 and a 12AX7 pre-tubes, two 6V6GT power-tubes, à 5Y3GT rectifier tube and a 12" Jensen loudspeaker and its output power is 10w. Recently the original amplifier is priced quite highly and is very difficult to find in good condition. This amp has two inputs but one is the input for à microphone. It has just one tone knob for treble control. Therefore, i is advisable to use this program on the Zoom G series with à flat tone setting except for the treble parameter so that you can enjoy the characteristic sound in the lower registers and the unique sound in the higher registers of the original Fender amp. TweedBass © Fender BASSMAN Among the many famous Fender amps, the’Bä$sman has eamed a special place. When Jim Marshall developed his original amplifier, he-is-said to have used the Bassman circuit as à reference. When it first cameoutin1951zthe Bassmanhad'anoutput of 26 watts and used à single Jensen 15-inch speaker. After various modifications, it reémerged in 1959 with a S0-watt output and four Jensen 10-inch drivers. The simulation of the Zoom G series is modeled on the "bright” channel of the ‘59 Bassman. Introduced at the 1951 NAMM show along with the Precision Bass, this amp was original intended for use with bass guitars. But its reedy distortion made it a favorite with some of the early blues giants, and later with many rock guitarists. Of course, the amp continues to used by musicians to this day. VX Clean VX Crunch
Tracing back this long'history-of Vox: one finds that it all began in 1958 undèr the moniker “Jennings Musical Instruments” (JM). Originally, this company built amps in the ten to fifteen watt range, but as time-went on, the demand for higher power ämps became stronger, leading to the birth of the famous AC30. The original AC30 had two Alnico Celestion 12" speakers,an EF86 tube preamp and EL84 tube power section, along with à G234 rectifier.

With the volume full up, the agressive transients and distortion sound complemented by smooth harmonies are the dream of every guitarist. The only drawbäck could be seen in the fact that a Very high volume level is needed to get that sound. But the Zoom G9.2tt overcomes this problem, letting you duplicate the sound by simply raising the gain parameter. After ll, even Rock guitarists should be kind to their ears UK Blues © Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker Since it was used by Eric Clapton when recording the album “John Mayall and the Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”_(commonlÿ known as the_"Beano"_album), this amp has acquired the monikerABluesbreaker" Up to then, guitar amps aimed for à clean sound with minimal distortion, buttthe fat and'sweet tone of this-amp driven by Eric Clapton's Les Paul fascinated guitarists the world over. They liked it so much that it has bécome the defining sound of the rock guitar. While different from the distortion produced by modern high-gain amps, the long sustain and distortion following each picking nuance is ideal for playing the blues.

Its drastic distortion, relentless cut-offs and noises in the decay are the charécterstics that one could simply describe as "broken®.Mis fat and tight soundican be serfously recommended for the Fuzz maniacs to ty.

(8) Power the unit from an AC adapter. When a device designed to use USB power is powered via the USB port, the current supply may sometimes fluctuate, leading to problems. See if using an AC adapter improves operation. If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does not function properly, disconnect this unit from the computer and shut down Cubase LE 4. Then reconnect the USB cable and start Cubase LE 4 again.
