Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the ZOOM 9030 Advanced Instrument
EffectsProcessor.
The
9030 is a sophisticatedmulti-effectdevice with the followingfeatures and func-
tions:
* A total of 47 basic individual effects, which are built into the 9030.
Up to seven of these effects can be combined in a multi-effect sys-
tem, enabling a wide range of signal processing applications, from
the reproduction
of standard sounds to the creation of special syn-
thesizer-likeeffects.
A logically-designed, intuitive user interface, which allows you to
operateand control it aseasily as you would a simple pedal effect.
* Built-inanalog distortion effect with broad sound variation.
Simultaneous control over external effect devices, through the
provided sendreturn terminals.
Real-time effect parameter modulation, which allows you to
dynamically change effect parameters by using the optional 8050
foot controller andora MIDI keyboard.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of
your
9030 and ensure longtime use and reliability.

Safety Precautions
Keep in mind the following safety tips and precautions for
optimum safe use of the
9030.
Power Requirements
A special AC adaptoris designed for use only with the 9030.
Make sure to
use the included AC adaptor (AD0002). Use
of another AC adaptor can cause malfunctions or damage.
Make sure to consult with your local ZOOM dealer about the
use of
a proper AC adaptor or voltage converter when using
the AC adaptor in an area (for example, another country)
where
~e power supply voltageisdifferent.
Environment
Avoid using your 9030 in environments where it will be
exposed to:
Temperatureextremes
High humidity or moisture
Excessivedustor sand
Excessivevibration or sudden shock
Handling
Since the 9030 is a precision electronic device, avoid apply-
ing excessive force
to the switches and buttons. Though the
9030 has been constructed for sturdiness and reliability,
dropping,smashing,or applying
too much weight to the pro-
duct can causedamage,
Remodeling
Never open the case of the 9030 or attempt to modify the
productin
any way since this can result in damage.
Connecting cables and input and output
jacks
You should always turn off the power before connecting any
cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC
adaptorbefore moving the 9030.
Caution!
The 9030 contains a long-life lithium battery which
maintainsthe effect programs storedto the internal
memory even when the unit is turned
off. With
normal use, the battery should last for approxi-
mately five years. To avoid possible data loss,
contact your local
ZOOM dealer five years from
the date
of purchase and have the battery
replaced
by a qualifiedtechnician. Do not attempt
to replace the battery yourself, since installing an
improperbatterycould result
in an explosion.

Precautions
ElectricalInterference
The 9030 uses digital circuitry that may cause interference
and noise if placed
too close to other electrical equipment,
such as TV sets and radios. If such problems occur, move
the 9030 further away from the dfected equipment. Also,
when fluorescentlightsordeviceswith built-in motors are
in
closeproximity to the 9030, the 9030 may not function prop-
erly.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 9030. If necessary, a slight-
ly
damp cloth can also be used. Do not use any abrasive
cleansers, waxes, or solvents (such
as paint thinner or alco-
hol), since
these may dull the finish or damage the surface.

RemoteControl and Real-timeModulation
This section explains how to control the 9030 remotely by
using the optional 8050 foot controller and MIDI devices
such
as a synthesizer. If you areusing the 9030 with a MIDI
keyboard (or other MIDI device), you should read this sec-
tion to get the most out ofyour equipment.

This section explains some of the terms used throughout the
manual,
as well as the names and functions of the panel con-
trols and terminals.
Terms Used in the Manual
Effect Module
The 9030 consists of basic effect blocks, which are listed
below. Each block is referred
to as an "effect module." The
followingare the types of effectmodules:
COMP (Compressorgroup)
EXT (Externaleffect)
DIST (Distortiongroup)
EQ (Equalizer group)
AMP (Amp simulation group)
EFF 1(Miscellaneous effects 1)
EFF 2 (Miscellaneouseffects 2)
SFX (Special effects)
REV (Reverb & echo group)
Effect Types
Each effect module has several different effect programs,
which are referred
to as effect types. See page 19 for infor-
mation on the kinds of effect types. One effect
type can be
selected foreach effect module.
Patch
The9030allows you to use a maximum of seven effect mod-
ules simultaneously. A group of effect modules, each with
their own effect type settings, is referred
to as a Patch. The
9030 can store up to 99 Patches in the internal memory
(Patch numbers
1 - 99).
Parameter
The elements which determine the sound of an effect are
referred to as parameters. Parameter values
can be set for
each effectmodule for making Patcheson the 9030.
Page
Each screen of the display is referred to as a "page." When
the parameter is too large
to be displayed on a singlescreen,
its settingsaredivided over several displaypages.
Mode
The functions of the 9030 can be roughly divided into three
different categories or types. These types are referred to as
"modes"and are describedbelow.
Play Mode -- In this mode, Patches can be selected and
played. When the power is turned on, the
9030 is automati-
cally set to this mode.
Edit Mode -- In this mode, the parameters of each Patch
can
be edited.
Utility Mode -- This mode is used for naming Patches and
settingthe MIDI channel.

This section provides a guided tour of the 9030 that takes
you step-by-stepthrough the various functions and opera-
tions of the unit. We recommend that you
read through this
section while actually operating the 9030 in order
to better
understand the structure of 9030 and to get accustomed
to
the various operations.
Connections
1. Connect the AC adaptor.
Connectthe AC adaptor to the 9030,and plug it into the out-
let.
Do NOT turn on the power yet.
2. Connect the musical instrument and the amplifier1
speaker system to the
9030.
Connect the outputof the musical instrument to the input ter-
minal of the 9030. Connect a guitar or bass to the Hi-Z
INPUT terminal on the frontpanel, and musical instruments
such as a keyboard or rhythm machine, whose output
impedance is comparatively low,
to the INPUT terminal on

Now connectthe OUTPUTterminal of the 9030 to the arnplifi-
cation system or mixer. When using a mono signal, connect it
to the WON0 terminal; when using stereo signals, connect
both outputsof the 9030
to the amplification system.
3. Turn on the power of the devices in the following
order:
1) The musical instrumentswhich areconnected to the 9030,
such
as a keyboard or sound source module.
2) The 9030.
3) The amplifier/speakeror mixer system,
This order is important
to prevent speaker damage. Turn off
the power in the reverse order.
Setup
After completing all of the connections, you will have to
match the level settings of the 9030 to those of the musical
instrument and the amplification system. This may seem
to
be a bit involved and troublesome. However, once it's
accomplished,you should never have to make these settings
again,
as long as you keep the currentconnectionsintact.
l. Adjust the input gain level while playingthe connected
musical instrument.
Begin the setup operation by setting the levels of the con-
nected equipment. Set the
musical instrument to the level at
which you normally play, then adjust the input gain level of
the 9030 so that the red
LED on the 9030 occasionally lights
up when the volume is at the maximum.

2. Press the UTILITYIPAGE key.
Set the 9030 to match the characteristics and the playback
method of the amplification or mixer system. Enter the
Utility Mode of the

HelpfulHint:
The comparefunction is convenient for checking how much
the entiresound is
affected by editing a singleparameter.
Storing the Edited Patch
Finishingup this Tutorial section isan explanation on storing
a Patch to memory. Any editing you have done to the
parameters so
far is temporaryand it will be irretrievably lost
if you switch to editing anotherPatch before storing the cur-
rent one to memory. To avoid this, make the following
a
habit: once you'vecreated a Patch you like, IMMEDIATELY
storeit to memory.
1. Press the STORE/EXECUTEkey in the Edit mode.

be cancelled by pressing the EXITkey.
Note:
When the Patch is stored, the Patch which was previously
stored to the destination memory space is automatically
erased. Make absolutely sure that the Patch at the destina-
tion can be erased.

This section explains the Patch programming operations of
the
Edit mode.
Patch Structure
In order for you to best understand how to program the
effects
of the 9030, you should first have a firm grasp of the
structure of a Patch. The explanations that follow describe
the different kinds of effect modules and effect types of the
9030 and how the signalsareprocessed.
Effect Modules
The 9030 consists of the following effect modules:
COMP (Compressorgroup)
EXT (Externaleffect)
DTST (Distortiongroup)
EQ (Equalizergroup)
AMP (Amp simulator group)
EFF 1 (Miscellaneouseffects l)
EFF 2 (Miscellaneouseffects2)
SFX (Special effects)
REV (Reverb & echo group)
HelpfulHlnt:
The master level (set in the Play mode ) and Patch name (set
in the Utility mode)
are added to the settings of the effect
module,
and all are storedto memory as a Patch.
The
SFX and EFF 1/2 modules above cannot be used simul-
taneously. For example, when the
SFX module is selected,
EFF 1/2 modules are automatically turned off. Likewise,
selectionof either
EFFl or EFF2 cancelsthe SFX module.
Effect Types
The following chart shows the effect type installed to each
effect module. Effects marked
with an asterisk (*) are stereo
effects.
