15 types of authentic amp modeling and
15 classic effects
|
|
| |
|
The GFX-5 lets you
emulate the sound of legendary guitar amps and
famous effect pedals with extraordinary accuracy.
From vintage combo to modern high-gain amp, you
can experience them all. Add distortion, overdrive
or fuzz, or mix and match to create your own sound.
The cabinet simulation module even lets you get
that miced-up cabinet sound you hear on classic
recordings. The GFX-5 also has an acoustic simulator
with three variations that will change your electric
guitar in a great-sounding to an acoustic.
|
|
| |
|
| |
| DRIVE
Module |
The
DRIVE module is comprised of 11 modeling
patterns, with three variations of
each: Classic, Standard or Modern.
The variation control allows you
to create new sounds like "STANDARD
- OVERDRIVE" or "CLASSIC - FUZZ".
Using the drive knob, you can dial-in
the sound you want instantly.

|
| GAIN Control |
Lets
you directly control the GAIN parameter
which determines distortion intensity.
The actual adjustable range varies
according to the selected sound modeling
type.
|
|
|
| TURBO Key |
Boosts the sound pressure to create a
heavier sound with more powerful
distortion. Great for churning out
those power chord riffs.
|
| EDGE Key |
Adds
punch and edge to the high frequencies.
In combination with the TURBO key,
you can get a seriously hard-hitting
metal sound.

All-New ENERGIZE Effect
|
|
| |
|
The innovative ENERGIZE effect boost mids
and high frequencies while tightening the low end.
You'll feel the energy coming out of your system.
This is great for playing in a band, boosting your
tone up and over even the loudest rhythm sections.
Energize also lets you produce a robust bottom-end
even with smaller, low-power guitar amps, and optimize
your sound quickly and easily for different acoustic
environments. |
|
| |
High-Performance Delay Effects
|
|
| |
|
For standard delay types such as mono delay
or ping-pong delay where the effect sound alternates
between left and right, delay time can be set in
musical note steps. For example, you can automatically
get a dotted eighth note delay from the tap tempo
beat. Vintage-style echo as well as hold delay (max.
2 seconds) for sound-on-sound effects and reverse
play are also available. |
|
| |
Built-in Sampling Memory
|
|
| |
|
Up to 6 seconds of any input source
can be captured internally. Record a guitar phrase,
or audio from a CD player. Record and play functions
are controlled with the pedals. You can play back
the recorded samples at half or quarter speed without
altering the pitch, to help you learn a complex guitar
parts. One-shot playback is a handy feature in a
live performance, and loop playback lets you overlay
lead solos as a backing riff. |
|
| |
Built for the stage
|
|
| |
|
The top panel of the GFX-5 features a logical
and intuitive array of controls which allow efficient
operation in real time. The 4-band equalizer has
dedicated knobs for BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE, and PRESENCE.
This gives an operation feel similar to that of a
guitar amp. In manual mode, the DRIVE, MOD, and REV
modules can be switched on and off with your foot,
and the delay tempo can also be achieved with the
pedals. |
|
| |
Module status keys
|
|
| |
|
LEDs integrated in the keys show the current
status at a glance. The module keys are also handy
for selecting effects in edit mode, and the VALUE
dial makes it a snap to change a setting. A wide
array of effect combinations can be quickly programmed. |
|
| |
Real-time modulation pedal
|
|
| |
|
As many as 61 effects can be controlled
with the built-in expression pedal. Besides adjusting
the Volume, Pedal-Wah, or Pedal-Pitch, the pedal
can also be used to adjust distortion effect gain,
modulation speed, reverb mix and other parameters.
The dedicated PEDAL ASSIGN key makes it easy to switch
pedal functions on the fly, with the selected effect
module being clearly shown by an indicator. Pushing
the pedal fully down will switch the effect on and
off. If you assign Pedal-Wah in the OFF mode, you
can activate Wah in the middle of a performance without
having to switch patches. |
|
| |
Built-in Drum Machine
|
|
| |
|
The built-in drum machine features the
same realistic PCM drum sounds made famous by the
ZOOM RhythmTrak drum machines. Basic 8- and 16-beat
rhythms, various rock, pop and dance rhythms, and
other genres are covered in the 60 pre-programmed
beats. The speed/rate parameter of delay or modulation
effects can be synchronized to the rhythm tempo.
This is handy in practical use when rhythm synchronization
is important. Tap tempo input for BPM is easy and
intuitive, using the tap key on the pedal. |
|
| |
Versatile patch memory
|
|
| |
|
A combination
of effects used together is called a "patch". With
60 factory preset patches, you have several industry
standard amp sounds used by major guitarists right
at your fingertips. Pedal function settings and ARRM
settings are also stored as part of a patch. Factory
presets can be edited and saved in the user memory.
You can save up to 60 of your own patches. |
|
| |
74 effect types
|
|
| |
|
With 74 effect
types available, you have a formidable arsenal with
which to create your own sounds. They're arranged
under eight major banks: Boost, Compressor, Drive,
EQ, ZNR Noise Reduction, Cabinet Simulator, Modulation
and Reverb. Each module has several different options,
and all can be mixed and matched for endless variations. |
|
| |
Built-in auto-chromatic tuner
|
|
| |
|
The simple
to use auto-chromatic guitar tuner is activated with
a foot switch. The pedal goes to mute, and the LED
displays the closest note to the string played. Pitch
deviation is shown with an innovative rotating speed
indicator. |
|
| |
Metal chassis
|
|
| |
|
The sturdy
chassis of the unit will withstand the rigors of
use on stage or in a studio. The pedal is solidly
built and weighs enough to remain stable on stage
with cables plugged in. Input and output jacks and
the internal PC board all are heavy-duty, for further
durability. In short: the GFX-5 from ZOOM is built
to last.
|
|
| |
Designed for long battery life
|
|
| |
|
With a set of four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries,
the unit can operate continuously for up to 10 hours.
This is great for live performances on stage, or
on the street. For extended studio work or long rehearsals,
an optional AC adaptor is available. |
|
| |
 |
All-New
ARRM Function |
| ARRM stands for "Auto-Repeat Real-time
Modulation" and is a super cool new feature
you'll find no where else. Using eight types
of waveforms, effect parameters can be modulated
in real time. Synchronize operation with
the built-in rhythm machine, or use the tap
function to align the timing with a live
drum. Automatically create rhythmical pedal
WAH. Achieve an arming tremolo effect with
high-speed pitch shifting. You can even use
the expression pedal to adjust the modulation
depth of the ARRM feature. |
|
 |
VAMS Hybrid Modeling
Technology |
| The
Variable Architecture Modeling System (VAMS)
developed by ZOOM combines analog distortion
circuitry with sophisticated digital signal
processing. The analog circuit uses not only
silicone diodes found in almost all compact
effects, but also Schottky diodes with threshold
amplitude characteristics similar to vacuum
tubes. The result is solid, natural-sounding
distortion and ultra-fast response. Latency-which
often is a problem in fully digital sound
modeling devices-has been reduced to virtually
zero. Digital filtering like that found in
highly advanced DSP applications gives the
dedicated guitarist exactly the sound they
want. |
 |
ZNR - ZOOM Noise
Reduction |
| ZNR
is a sophisticated noise reduction technology
developed by ZOOM. ZNR eliminates the noise
that was unavoidable in the past with high-gain
distortion effects. ZOOM's D-GATE noise gate
is also provided. Together with the FUZZ
effect, this creates a true vintage sound. |
