Zoom 8080 - Manual (Page 51)

This module contains ten different distortion and overdrive effects, including one for control of external distortion devices
and a unique "Acoustic" effect that turns the sound of an electric guitar into that of an acoustic guitar. ZNR (Zoom Noise
Reduction) is also available in this module.
This effect type serves for control of a device connected in the EXTERNAL DIST SEND/RETURN loop of the 8080. It
also allows boosting the output.
This effect changes the sound of an electric guitar to a sound resembling that of an acoustic guitar.
Acou: Acoustic
EXT: External DIST (Distortion)

"Mid" (midrange) or "Tre" (treble).

r ZNR (ZNR) Sets the activation threshold for Zoom Noise Reduction
which suppresses noise during no-signal passages.
The key to effective use of ZNR is setting the value
as high as possible without causing the noise cutoff to
sound unnatural. ZNR can be used also when the
DIST module is off.

Parameters Comment Values
Even if nothing is connected to the RETURN jack, the signal will be sent to the next module. However, since parameters
settings such as BST and SND are active, the sound may be altered.
When this effect type is selected, internal distortion effects of the 8080 cannot be used.
In the DIST module, when the setting is "DIR=NML", pushing the pedal from the up position all the way down causes the
parameter to be altered from the minimum value to the preset value (programmed value for the patch). When the setting is
"DIR=INV", pushing the pedal from the up position all the way down causes the parameter to be altered from the current
value to the minimum value. The minimum value depends on the distortion type and the parameter setting.
