ZOOM G2Nu/G2.1Nu
Troubleshooting
● The unit will not turn ON
• Confirm that the POWER switch is set to "ON."
• When using bus power, confirm that the switch is
"OFF" before connecting the USB cable.
• When using batteries, confirm that they are still
charged.
● No sound or very low volume
• Check the connections (→P4–7).
• Adjust the patch level (→P20).
• Adjust the master level (→P30).
• When adjusting the volume with an expression
pedal, make sure that a suitable volume setting
has been set with the pedal.
• Confirm that unit is not in mute mode (→P10).
• The unit might have switched to standby to save
power (→P5, 7). In standby, audio input and
output are disabled.
● There is a lot of noise
• Check the shielded cables that you are using for
defects.
• Use only a genuine ZOOM AC adapter.
• Try adjusting the ZNR module settings again.
● Cannot change patches
The unit might be in "pre-select mode" (→P25). If
it is, turn the power OFF and ON again to restart in
the normal mode.
● Sound is distorted/tone is extreme
• Try adjusting the Gain and Level parameters of
the DRIVE module.
• The unit might be in direct mode (→P24), which
simulates the sound of an amplifier cabinet.
● The reverb effect is not working
If the unit is in rhythm mode, the REVERB module
is disabled. Stop the rhythm and exit rhythm mode
to use the reverb effect (→P17).
● The delay effect is not working
If the looper is activated, the DELAY module is
disabled. Stop using the looper (→P15).
● The expression pedal is not working well
• Check the expression pedal settings (→P27).
• Adjust the expression pedal (→P28).
● The recorded level in a DAW is low
Check the recording level setting (→P30).
● Batteries lose their charge quickly
• Are you using manganese batteries? Alkaline
batteries should provide 6.5 hours of operation.
• Check the battery setting (→P31). Set the type of
battery being used for a more accurate display of
the remaining charge.
