ZNR

ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) module

This module serves for reducing noise during playing pauses. It offers a choice between
noise reduction (reduction of noise components) and noise gate (muting during pauses).

nr ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction)

ZOOM original noise reduction which reduces noise in playing pauses without affecting the overall tone.

Gt GATE

This is a noise gate which cuts off the sound during playing pauses.

dG DIRTY GATE

This is a vintage type gate with special closing characteristics.

All above effect types have the same parameters.

THRESHOLD

1 – 16

Adjusts the sensitivity. For maximum noise reduction, set the value as high as possible without causing the sound to decay
unnaturally.

Effect Types and Parameters

ZOOM G2

DRIVE

DRIVE module

This module provides 16 types of distortion and an acoustic simulator. Each effect type of
the module has two modeling algorithms (for live performance and direct recording).
These algorithms are switched automatically according to the on/off condition of the
