Energizer using 12AX7 tube
Giving body to the guitar
sound and adding supple power and intensity - that is the task of the Energizer. Turning up the TUBE control to drive the 12AX7 produces warm crunch with rich
harmonics. The BOOST control spruces up highs and lows, resulting in more transparency. Enjoy a powerful tone also when recording directly to a line input or via
USB on a computer.
ZFX-3 - a 32-bit DSP designed by ZOOM
The heart of any multi-effect device is its processor and decoder section. ZOOM has started a fresh chapter with its new ZFX-3 chip. The 32-
bit architecture ensures outstanding performance and allows smooth and detailed signal processing. Accuracy and speed ensure that even delicate picking and fingering work come across with impressive clarity.
DSP sound modeling plus tube circuitry create the ultimate in distortion
96
kHz sampling and 24-
bit A/
D/A conversion assure super high resolution
sound. An abundance of signal processing power allows accurate recreation of the complex upper-range
harmonics that are the hallmark of tube amplifiers.
Analog circuitry using a 12AX7 tube then adds that classic warmth and sonic impact to the
DSP sound. The result combines the best of the
digital and
analog worlds: distortion so advanced and sophisticated it elevates your guitar playing to the next
level.
Preamp section with two channels
The
preamp section, comprised of the
amp/drive-modeling, and
EQ modules offers two channels per patch. You can easily select a
channel by simple foot switch operation. Toggle between a Fender clean
sound for rhythm and a Marshall drive
sound for lead, while keeping
modulation and spatial effect settings the same. The user
interface with
analog knobs lets you shape the
sound with the same facility as on a guitar
amp.
Great for stage work or direct recording
The
amp/drive-modeling blocks have two dedicated algorithms for each
amp/drive type, designed for live playing and direct recording. The CABINET effect simulates
amp and
mic recording characteristics as well, and the algorithm is automatically switched according to the CABINET on/off setting.This lets you bring the same guitar
sound that you used during practice or recording right on to the
stage. Alternatively,
sound settings that were determined during a session with the band can be used seamlessly in the studio as well.
Amp select feature
This function optimizes
frequency response to match the
amp that you are using. Settings are available to get the best out of popular models such as Roland JC-120, a Fender combo, and a Marshall stack. The -10
dBm/+4
dBm output
level switch allows the G9.2tt to be used as a
preamp, directly connected to the
power amp input of a guitar
amplifier.
6-band graphic equalizer
The built-in
EQ module has six
frequency bands optimized for
electric guitar.
Peaking type filters in the crucial middle range (400
Hz, 800
Hz, 3. 2
kHz, 6.4
kHz) are augmented by shelving type filters at the low and high end (160
Hz and 12
kHz). This ensures the shortest possible route from inspiration to actual
sound.
Guitar amplifier/stomp box modeling
Analog devices such as tubes and diodes have unique
clipping characteristics. Sophisticated
digital simulation finally makes it possible to recreate the
sound of vintage tube
amps and effect devices with astonishing realism. From popular names such as Fender, Marshall, and VOX to modern
amps including MESA BOOGIE, Hughes & Kettner, and Diezel - the list of choices is extensive. The cabinet simulator even has settings for
mic position, to achieve totally natural sounding performance.
32-bit processing for a wide choice of high-quality guitar sound effects
Ranging from trusty old standards to advanced choices for specialized needs, the effect collection of the G7.1ut comprises 92 effects in 9 modules. Pick an MXR Dynacomp, famous for its unusual
compression action, or select wah pedal simulations such as VOX and CRYBABY. Choose from three types of
chorus for creating a solid, wide
sound stage. Access seven types of
reverb with transparent, unblurred
sound. And the list goes on:
tremolo with selectable
modulation waveform, bend
chorus with individual pitch bending, harmonized pitch shifter, multi-tap
delay even reverse
delay. These professional quality effects will fuel the creativity of every guitarist. The
preamp section and wah/
filter effects allow changing the module
insert position for even more advanced tonal control.
Preset patches ready to use for recording or live performance
Whether you are after a true-blue vintage tone or fat high-
gain sound, you will find a choice here. There are settings that accurately simulate well-known
amps and stomp boxes, settings that are modeled on the signature
sound of famous guitarists, as well as totally original ZOOM effect sounds. The past and the future of guitar
sound is right there at your fingertips. The G7.1ut comes preprogrammed with a total of 80 preset patches. For creative leeway, a user area capable of storing the same number of patches is also provided.
Intuitive interface great for stage use
Each of the four
analog style rotary knobs let you directly edit parameters on-the-fly, a total of four simultaneously. The
LCD panel clearly shows patch and parameter names. Direct access keys are provided for each module. The advanced user
interface is designed to ensure hassle-free operation, while not getting in the way of your creativity. On
stage, the foot switches allows easy effect bank selection, module and hold
delay on/off switching or tap
tempo input. The self-lit switches show module status at a glance.
Real-time modulation for 4 simultaneous parameters fosters lively playing
The built-in expression pedal allows control over effect parameters in realtime. Common pedal effects such as wah, pitch, and
volume control are ofcourse supported, but you can also opt to adjust drive
gain, modulationrate,
delay/
reverb mix
level, and other parameters. Up to four parameterscan be assigned to a single pedal, allowing dramatic techniques such asraising the
chorus,
delay, and
reverb at the same time. Create a rotary speaker style
sound by varying
tremolo,
chorus, and auto-panning rate. Also,the ARRM (Auto Repeat
Real-time Modulation) function is capable of producingrhythmical tone changes, opening up a wealth of possibilities.
World's fastest patch change speed: 7 ms
Switching patches has never been smoother or less noticeable. With its record-setting speed of 0.007 seconds (7ms), the G series never miss a beat.When changing to a lead preset in the middle a song, you no longer need to press the switch in advance, simply push the foot switch and start playing your
solo.
Built-in tuner supports special tuning requirements
The guitar tuner can be called up instantly by pushing a dedicated footswitch. In addition to the standard auto-chromatic tuner, various othertuning methods for guitar and
bass are possible, and open tunings are alsosupported. High-brightness
LED indicators make the note readout easy to seeon a dark
stage. The calibration range is A 435 to 445
Hz, and muted tuning(without
sound output) is also possible. Tuning your guitar has never been easier or more convenient.
ZNR keeps playing pauses really quiet
The built-in ZOOM
Noise Reduction (ZNR) provides optimized signal performance for guitar. While minimizing any alteration of the original
sound, ZNR cuts unwanted
noise during pauses. Tails of sustained notes remain unaffected, with a long natural release.
Ultra low noise design with 120 dB S/N ratio and -100 dB noise floor
With an amazing rated
signal-to-noise ratio of 120
dB and a -100
dB noise floor, background
noise ceases to be a problem, leaving only superbly clean, transparent
sound.
Sturdy metal chassis and rubber damping for superior toughness and durability
The combination of a solid metal chassis with shock-absorbant rubber
damping ensures that the unit can stand up to the rigors of on
stage use. Take it on the road or bring it into the studio, the G9.2tt will not let you down. And it looks great, too, the stylish two-tone coloring using silver and black, rounded shape, and chrome-plated parts give the unit a high-class, futuristic appearance.
USB based audio interface functions
The
USB port allows the unit to function as an
audio interface for a computer. Simply
plug the unit in to your computer with a
USB cable to use the high-quality
sound of the G9.2tt in a computer-based recording system. The high-performance
DAW application "Cubase LE" comes bundled with the unit, so you can start creating sophisticated music straight away. Because playback from the
DAW application can be monitored at the unit itself, there are no
latency problems during recording.
Supported OS:
Windows XP /
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
MIDI IN/OUT jacks allow linking to other equipment
The ability to exchange
MIDI data with other devices opens up a wealth of possibilities. You can switch patches in conjunction with a
MIDI enabled
preamp, or use the unit as a
real-time controller for other
MIDI equipment. By connecting the
MIDI interface to a computer, you may use a dedicated editor/librarian application to edit and store patch data.
AUX IN jacks accommodate external sources
The playback signal from external sources can be plugged-into the AUX input. Jam along with a rhythm machine, external
CD or
mp3 player. You may also utilize the connectors as a
stereo line input to record
audio into your computer via the
USB interface.
Accelerator blends tube and solid state sound
The
analog input section incorporates an Accelerator that can amplify the signal in a tube or a solid-state based circuit. The 12AX7 tube produces fat, sturdy
sound that can be mixed with the clear and transparent
sound from the solid-state circuit. Blending natural
compression with typical tube saturation characteristics creates a rich, organic tone.
Z-pedal takes pedal performance to the next level
The pedal on the right side of the G9.2tt supports 3D action by sensing not only conventional up/down but also sideways movement. The Z-pedal lets you build highly complex
sound control patterns by allowing you to
assign up to four parameters in each axis of pedal movement (vertical and horizontal). There are also effects specifically designed for use with the Z-pedal. Get creative in ways never imagined before, and explore a whole new realm of pedal performance.
