FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - HL-01 ZOOM

Comment brancher la pédale HL-01 ?

Branchez la guitare sur la prise IN et l'amplificateur sur la prise OUT. Assurez-vous que l'ampli est éteint lors du branchement. La pédale s'allume automatiquement lorsqu'un câble est inséré dans IN.

Quel type de pile utiliser ?

Utilisez une pile 9V de type 6F22, de préférence alcaline pour une meilleure autonomie (environ 26 heures). La pile manganèse fournie est pour test uniquement.

Pourquoi ma pédale ne s'allume-t-elle pas ?

Vérifiez que la pile est installée correctement (polarité) ou que l'adaptateur secteur est branché. Si vous utilisez une pile, insérez un câble dans la prise IN pour l'allumer.

Comment régler le son de distorsion ?

Utilisez le contrôle GAIN pour régler l'intensité de la distorsion. Les contrôles TREBLE, BASS, MIDDLE et RANGE ajustent l'égalisation. Le contrôle LEVEL règle le volume de sortie.

Puis-je utiliser la HL-01 avec d'autres pédales ?

Oui, vous pouvez la placer avant ou après d'autres effets. Par exemple, un chorus ou un delay court peut enrichir le son. Consultez les exemples de connexion dans le manuel.

Que faire si le son est trop bruité ?

Évitez d'utiliser plusieurs effets de distorsion en série. Utilisez des câbles de bonne qualité et éloignez la pédale des sources d'interférence (écrans d'ordinateur, lampes fluorescentes).

Comment économiser la pile ?

Débranchez le câble de la prise IN lorsque vous n'utilisez pas la pédale, car l'alimentation est active tant qu'un câble est inséré. Utilisez un adaptateur secteur pour une utilisation sur rack.

Que signifie l'indicateur LED faible ?

Une LED moins brillante indique que la pile est faible. Remplacez-la par une neuve dès que possible pour éviter une baisse de performance.

Puis-je utiliser un adaptateur secteur non Zoom ?

Non, utilisez uniquement l'adaptateur ZOOM AD-0006 (9V DC, 300 mA, centre négatif). Un adaptateur non conforme peut endommager la pédale.

Comment nettoyer la pédale ?

Utilisez un chiffon doux et sec. Pour les taches, humidifiez légèrement le chiffon. N'utilisez pas de solvants, d'alcool ou de produits abrasifs qui pourraient abîmer la finition.

Features

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM Hyper Lead HL-01 (hereafter simply called the "HL-01"). The HL-01 is a high-performance compact distortion unit developed with input from top-level professional musicians the worldwide. It reflects ZOOM's rich expertise with analog circuitry and has many attractive features.

Smooth and solid high-gain sound

Newly developed analog triple gain circuit is ideal for a wide range of playing styles and applications. From lead guitar to backing, the HL-01 opens up a world of distortion possibilities. Natural and smooth sounding distortion in the all-important midrange creates impressively solid guitar sound.

3-band equalizer with superb effectiveness

In addition to the BASS and TREBLE controls, the HL-01 features a parametric midrange control whose turnover point can be adjusted. This gives you full control over the most important frequency range for each instrument, letting you stress a characteristic or reduce overlapping ranges. The TREBLE and BASS controls are tuned to allow spot-on adjustments of high-range sparkle and low-end energy.

Amazing low-noise design

Designed from the ground up for optimum performance, the HL-01 uses only strictly selected parts. For an effect without built-in noise reduction, the low noise level of the HL-01 is truly amazing.

Mechanical switch for true bypass

On/off switching is performed using a mechanical foot switch which operates smoothly and gives tactile feedback. In the bypass position, the guitar signal is passed through without any alteration.

Sturdy metal chassis

The rock-solid case made of aluminum not only looks good, it also can withstand the rigors of use on stage or rough handling during transport. Stability is excellent, ensuring that the unit will not topple over while in use.

Parts and Functions

This section explains the various parts of the HL-01.

1 GAIN control

This control adjusts the distortion gain. Turning it clockwise increases the distortion intensity.

2 TREBLE control

This control adjusts the high frequency range. Turning the control clockwise makes the sound brighter and sharper.

MIDDLE control

This control adjusts the middle frequency range. Turning the control emphasizes or attenuates the range selected with the RANGE control (4).

4 RANGE control

Adjusts the turnover frequency for the MIDDLE control (6).

BASS control

This control adjusts the low frequency range.
Turning the control clockwise makes the sound more solid and heavy.

LEVEL control

This control adjusts the output signal level. Turning the control clockwise increases the volume.

7 IN jack

This is the input of the unit and it also acts as a

power switch. When you connect the plug of the cable from the guitar, the unit is turned on.

OUT jack

This is the output of the unit. Connect the plug of the cable going to the guitar amplifier or other effect device here.

AC adapter jack

When powering the unit from the AC adapter, insert the plug from the adapter into this jack. Be sure to use only the dedicated AC adapter for the unit (Zoom AD-0006). When the AC adapter is connected, the HL-01 will always be ON, regardless of whether a cable is plugged into the IN jack.

Indicator

Lights up when the HL-01 effect is active. When the remaining battery capacity is getting low, indicator brightness decreases.

Foot switch

Switches the HL-01 effect on and off.

Battery compartment

A 9V battery (6F22) can be inserted here.

Connections

This section explains how to connect the HL-01.

Open cover of battery compartment and insert battery

Make sure to insert the battery to the connector with correct polarity.

Turn amplifier off and connect cable to guitar

Make sure that the plug is inserted fully into the OUT jack of the guitar.

Plug cable from guitar into IN jack of HL-01

Insert the cable from the guitar into the IN jack of

the HL-01.

This turns the HL-01 on.

Connect cable to OUT jack of HL-01

Connect another cable to the OUT jack of the HL-01.
Make sure that the plug is inserted firmly.

Turn amplifier on and raise volume

Turn power to the amplifier on, and adjust the volume to a suitable level, using the controls in the following sequence.

(1) Volume control on guitar
(2) LEVEL control on HL-01
(3) Volume control on amplifier

5 Connect output cable to amplifier

Make sure that the amplifier is turned off and the volume is turned down. Then plug the cable

from the OUT jack of the HL-01 to the IN jack of the amplifier.

ATTENTION

Always follow the above sequence.

If steps are performed in reverse order, there is a danger of damage to the amplifier or speakers.

Sample Settings

This section shows some actual setting examples.

• When experimenting, you should set the gain and drive controls on the amplifier so that it does not distort excessively.

• Use the LEVEL control on the HL-01 to compensate for the level difference between the "effect on" and bypass condition.

Almighty drive sound

With all controls in the center position, the HL-01 provides a standard drive sound suitable for many applications, ranging from lead solos to rhythm backing.

"Half pedal" sound with prominent midrange

With the TREBLE and BASS controls turned slightly down and the MIDDLE control raised a bit, the midrange is emphasized. This results in a peaky sound similar to pedal wah in about midway position.

Fat sound

This is a heavy distortion sound achieved by turning the GAIN control all the way up and slightly raising the midrange. Even with deep distortion, the sound will stay stable and well defined. The fat sound is suited for riffs and rhythm guitar. Adjust the MIDDLE and RANGE controls according to the characteristics of the instrument.

Fast response lead sound

These settings are great for quick finger work. With the BASS control turned slightly down and the TREBLE control slightly up, you get a clear, distinct sound suitable for picking solos. Adjust the TREBLE control according to the characteristics of the instrument. To get a more crunchy character, turn down the GAIN control.

Glitter midrange

Raising the TREBLE and BASS controls and cutting the midrange gives a glittery sound, great for rhythm guitar or power chords. You can use the RANGE control to fine-tune the effect.

Connection Examples With Compact Effects

This section shows how to use the HL-01 together with other compact effect devices.

Combination with chorus effect

In this example, the chorus uses a light modulation (depth) setting at a fairly slow rate (speed), to achieve a light, airy sound. Make sure not to set the chorus modulation too high.

Guitar solos and arpeggios in LA rock style sound great with this setup.

Combination with short delay

Using a single delay with short delay time can give more body to the sound. A delay time setting of about 30 to 40 milliseconds is suitable, and the level of the delay sound should be slightly lower than the level of the original sound. This setup is good for riffs and solos.

Connection Examples With Multi-Effects

This section shows how to use the HL-01 together with multi-effect devices such as the ZOOM GFX-4 or GFX-8.

Connecting HL-01 before multi-effect device

In this example, the connection sequence is HL-01 multi-effect amplifier. Distortion is produced by the HL-01, and distortion effects of the multi-effect device are bypassed.

Using send/return loop of multi-effect

By connecting the HL-01 in the send/return loop of a multi-effect device such as the ZOOM GFX-8, the HL-01 can be used as if it were a part of the other device. You can switch the HL-01 on and off using patch programs of the multi-effect.

Troubleshooting

If there seems to be a problem with the unit, check the following points first.

No sound.

• Are connections to the IN and OUT jacks reversed?

Check the connections.

Is the battery exhausted?

Insert a fresh battery.

Is the AC adapter connected?

Make sure that the AC adapter is connected correctly.

Is guitar or amplifier volume or LEVEL control of HL-01 turned down?

Raise the volume.

Noise is heard.

• Are several distortion effects used in series?

Excessive compressor settings can also result in

noise. Turn on only the currently used devices.

Is the cable of good quality?

Low-quality cables can cause noise. Use a short, good-quality cable.

• Is the unit used in the vicinity of a computer monitor, refrigerator, fluorescent lamp, motor, or similar device?

The guitar or cable can pick up noise from such devices. In case of problems, increase the distance to such devices.

• Is an AC adapter other than the specified type used?

Be sure to use only the dedicated AC adapter (AD-0006).

Battery gets used up very quickly.

Is a plug inserted in the IN jack?

Power to the HL-01 gets turned on when a plug is inserted in the IN jack. In this condition, current is drawn from the battery regardless of whether the effect is switched on or off. When not using the unit, be sure to disconnect the plug from the IN jack.

Is a manganese battery being used?

The use of an alkaline battery rather than manganese is recommended. The initially supplied battery is for checking only and may have a short service life. When mounting the HL-01 on an effect board or similar, powering it with the AC adapter (AD-0006) is recommended.

Distortion is not strong enough.

Sound is not clear.

• Are controls on HL-01 and guitar set correctly?

Turn up the GAIN control and the TREBLE, MIDDLE, RANGE, or BASS control on the HL-01. Try to fully turn up the level and tone controls of the guitar.

• Is another effect device being used?

When using an effect device between the HL-01 and the guitar, check the battery, volume, and cable of that device.

Cannot produce the desired sound.

• Are controls set to extreme positions?

First set all controls to center and start with slight adjustments.

• Is the playing technique suitable?

The audible result of using the HL-01 depends on various different factors. Hardware such as effect devices, guitar, and amplifier of course must be considered, but technique such as picking and fingering are also important. Try varying your style to check the effect.
