Use of Expression Pedal/Foot Switch

ZOOM G2.1u

2. Set the Module selector to the

"CONTROL" position.

The G2.1u goes into edit mode. You can now

make settings for the expression pedal or foot

switch.

3. Turn Parameter knob 2 to select one

of the following functions for the foot

switch.

● bP (bypass/mute)

The foot switch controls bypass or mute on/off.

This has the same effect as pressing both [W]/

[Q] foot switches at the same time in play

mode.

● tP (tap tempo)

Pressing the foot switch repeatedly can be used

to set the interval for the rhythm function or to

make settings for effect parameters supporting

the tap function. This has the same effect as

pressing the [TAP] key.

● bU (bank up)

Each push of the foot switch switches to the

next higher bank. This has the same effect as

pressing the BANK [+] key.

● rH (rhythm on/off)

The foot switch controls start/stop of the

rhythm function. This has the same effect as

pressing the RHYTHM [R/P] key.

● dH (delay hold)

The foot switch controls on/off of the delay

hold function. When a patch using the hold

function is selected, pressing the foot switch

will activate hold, causing the current delay

sound to be repeated (see illustration at the

bottom of this page). Pressing the foot switch

once more cancels the hold condition, and the

delay sound will decay normally.

● dM (delay input mute)

The foot switch controls muting on/off for the

delay module input signal.

• For information on effect parameters supporting the

tap function, see pages 27 – 33.

• To use the hold function, an effect type that

supports the hold function must be selected in the

patch. For details, see page 34.

•While the delay module is set to hold or mute, the

dot in the center of the display flashes.

4. Select the patch in play mode and

operate the foot switch.

The selected function will be activated.

This function applies to all patches.

effects. The operating environment conditions

for this type of use are as follows.

■ Compatible operating system

• Windows XP

• MacOS X (10.2 or later)

■

Quantization

16-bit quantization

■ Sampling frequency

32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz

HINT

With each of the operating systems listed above, the

G2.1u will function as an audio interface simply by

connecting the USB cable. There is no need to install

any special driver software.

To use the G2.1u as an audio interface for the

computer, connect the [USB] connector of the

G2.1u to a USB port on the computer. The G2.1u

will be recognized as an audio interface.

HINT

• If the [POWER] switch of the G2.1u is set to OFF,

power will be supplied via the USB connection.

• If the [POWER] switch of the G2.1u is set to ON,

power will be supplied from the batteries in the

G2.1u or the AC adapter. Care should be taken

especially when running on battery power,

because setting the switch to ON may result in

faster depletion of the batteries.

In this condition, the sound of a guitar connected

to the [INPUT] jack of the G2.1u can be

processed with the effects of the G2.1u and then

recorded on the audio tracks of a DAW (Digital

Audio Workstation) software application on the

computer.

At the same time, the [OUTPUT] jack of the

G2.1u carries the playback sound from the audio

tracks of the DAW application, mixed with the

guitar sound processed by the effects of the

G2.1u.

For details on recording and playback, refer to

the documentation of the DAW application.

NOTE

• Also when using the G2.1u as an audio interface,

the signal after effect processing is always

available directly at the [OUTPUT] jack.

• If the DAW application has an echo back function

(input signal during recording is supplied directly to

an output), this must be disabled when using the

G2.1u. If recording is carried out with this function

enabled, the output signal will sound as if

processed by a flanger effect.

• Use a high-quality USB cable and keep the

connection as short as possible. If power is

supplied to the G2.1u via a USB cable that is more

than 3 meters in length, the low voltage warning

indication may appear.
