Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we
recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever
possible. When powering the unit from batteries, use
only alkaline types.
[AC adapter operation]
•Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 V DC,
300 mA and is equipped with a "center minus" plug
(Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter other than the
specified type may damage the unit and pose a safety
hazard.
•Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies
the rated voltage required by the adapter.
•When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet,
always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull at the cable.
• During lightning or when not using the unit for an
extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC
outlet.
[Battery operation]
• Use four conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries
(alkaline).
• The G2.1u cannot be used for recharging.
•Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make
sure you choose the correct type.
•When not using the unit for an extended period, remove
the batteries from the unit.
• If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery
compartment and the battery terminals carefully to
remove all remnants of battery fluid.
•While using the unit, the battery compartment cover
should be closed.
Environment
To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock or
malfunction, avoid using your G2.1u in environments
where it will be exposed to:
• Extreme temperatures
• Heat sources such as radiators or stoves
•High humidity or moisture
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock
Handling
•Never place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the G2.1u since this can cause electric shock.
•Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
on the G2.1u since this can cause fire.
• The G2.1u is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue
pressure on the keys and other controls.Also take care not
to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive
pressure.
•Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or
liquids can enter the unit.

Features
Thank you for selecting the ZOOM G2.1u (hereafter simply called the "G2.1u"). The G2.1u is a multi
effect processor with the following features and functions.
● Latest processing technology for outstanding performance
96 kHz / 24 bit sampling (with 32 bit internal processing) assures excellent sound quality. Frequency
response remains flat up to 40 kHz, and input-converted signal-to-noise ratio is an amazing 120 dB,
demonstrating the high level of performance achieved by the G2.1u. The G2.1u also has a USB
connection and can be used as a direct guitar/computer interface.
● Versatile palette of effects including new creations
Out of a total of 54 effects, up to nine (including ZNR) can be used simultaneously. The high-quality
choices provided by the G2.1u include distortion effects that simulate the tones of famous amps and
effects pedals, 6-band guitar EQ and delay effects with "hold" controloperated by foot switch.
● Great for live performances and direct recording
The distortion effect module provides two different algorithms for each of its 17 effect types, one for live
performance and one for direct recording. Depending on the on/off setting of the CABINET & MIC
effect which simulates amp cabinet sound and mic characteristics, the most suitable algorithm is
automatically selected, giving you the best sound for any application.
● Integrated rhythm functions and auto-chromatic tuner
A number of rhythm patterns using realistic PCM drum sounds are provided. This is convenient for use
as a metronome during individual practice or to provide a simple rhythm part for a quick session. An
auto-chromatic tuner for guitar is also built right into the unit, allowing you to easily tune your
instrument also at home or on stage.
● Sophisticated user interface
The combination of a rotary type selector and three parameter knobs make the effect editing process
intuitive and quick. The mute interval when switching patches has been reduced to less than 5
milliseconds. Seamless patch changing is now a reality.
● Dual power supply principle allows use anywhere
The G2.1u can be powered from four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries or an AC adapter. Continuous
operating time on batteries is approximately 7.5 hours with alkaline batteries.
● Easy operation with expression pedal and foot switch
The expression pedal on the top panel lets you adjust the tonal quality of an effect or the volume in real
time.
An optional expression pedal (FP01/FP02) or foot switch (FS01) can be connected to the CONTROL IN
jack. The external expression pedal is used for controlling the volume. The foot switch is convenient for
quickly toggling effect programs or for setting the tempo of the rhythm function.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully so as to get the most out of the unit and to ensure
optimum performance and reliability.

Terms Used in This Manual
This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G2.1u documentation.
■ Effect module
As shown in the illustration above, the G2.1u can be
thought of as a combination of several single effects.
Each such effect is referred to as an effect module. In
addition to modules comprising compressor effects
(COMP), amp simulator/distortion effects (DRIVE),
and modulation/special effects (MOD/SFX), the
G2.1u also provides a module for ZNR (ZOOM
Noise Reduction). Parameters such as effect intensity
can be adjusted for each module individually, and
modules can be switched on and off as desired.
■ Effect type
Within some effect modules, there are several
different effects which are referred to as effect types.
For example, the modulation/SFX effect module
(MOD/SFX) comprises chorus, flanger, pitch shifter,
delay, and other effect types. Only one of these can
be selected at a time.
■ Effect parameter
All effect modules have various parameters that can
be adjusted. These are called effect parameters.
In the G2.1u, effect parameters are adjusted with the
parameter knobs 1 – 3. Similar to the knobs on a
compact effect, these change aspects such as tonal
character and effect intensity. Which parameter is
assigned to each knob depends on the currently
selected effect module and effect type.
■ Patch
In the G2.1u, effect module combinations are stored
and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch
comprises information about the on/off status of each
effect module, about the effect type used in each
module, and about effect parameter settings. The
internal memory of the G2.1u holds up to 80 patches
(including 40 patches which allow read/write).
■ Bank and area
A group of ten patches is called a bank. The memory
of the G2.1u comprises a total of eight banks,
labelled A to d and 0 to 3. Banks A – d form the user
area which allows read/write. Banks 0 to 3 are the
preset area containing read-only patches.
The patches within each bank are numbered 0
through 9. To specify a patch of the G2.1u, you use
the format "A1" (patch number 1 from bank A), "06"
(patch number 6 from bank 0), etc.
■ Play mode/edit mode
The internal status of the G2.1u is referred to as the
operation mode. The two major modes are "play
mode" in which you can select patches and use them
for playing your instrument, and "edit mode" in
which you can modify the effects. The module
selector serves for switching between the play mode
and edit mode.

Switch to bypass or mute
Setting the G2.1u to the bypass
In play mode, press both [W]/[Q] foot
switches together briefly and release.
Setting the G2.1u to the mute state
In play mode, press both [W]/[Q] foot
switches together and hold for at least 1
second.
When you press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together while
playing your instrument, the bypass/mute condition is
activated. However, the sound may change momentarily
just before the condition is activated. This is because the
G2.1u switches to the next higher or lower patch when one
of the foot switches is pressed slightly earlier. (When you
cancel the bypass/mute condition, the original patch
number will be active again.)
This kind of behavior is not a defect. It is due to the very
high speed at which the G2.1u responds to patch
switching. To prevent the sound change caused by the
above condition, do not produce sound with your
instrument until the bypass/mute condition is fully
established.

for this type of use are as follows.
■Compatible operating system
• Windows XP
• MacOS X (10.2 or later)
■Quantization
16-bit quantization
■Sampling frequency
32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz
HINT
With each of the operating systems listed above, the
G2.1u will function as an audio interface simply by
connecting the USB cable. There is no need to install
any special driver software.
To use the G2.1u as an audio interface for the
computer, connect the [USB] connector of the
G2.1u to a USB port on the computer. The G2.1u
will be recognized as an audio interface.
HINT
•If the [POWER] switch of the G2.1u is set to OFF,
power will be supplied via the USB connection.
•If the [POWER] switch of the G2.1u is set to ON,
power will be supplied from the batteries in the
G2.1u or the AC adapter. Care should be taken
especially when running on battery power,
because setting the switch to ON may result in
faster depletion of the batteries.
In this condition, the sound of a guitar connected
to the [INPUT] jack of the G2.1u can be
processed with the effects of the G2.1u and then
recorded on the audio tracks of a DAW (Digital
Audio Workstation) software application on the
computer.
At the same time, the [OUTPUT] jack of the
G2.1u carries the playback sound from the audio
tracks of the DAW application, mixed with the
guitar sound processed by the effects of the
G2.1u.
For details on recording and playback, refer to
the documentation of the DAW application.
NOTE
•Also when using the G2.1u as an audio interface,
the signal after effect processing is always
available directly at the [OUTPUT] jack.
•If the DAW application has an echo back function
(input signal during recording is supplied directly to
an output), this must be disabled when using the
G2.1u. If recording is carried out with this function
enabled, the output signal will sound as if
processed by a flanger effect.
•Use a high-quality USB cable and keep the
connection as short as possible. If power is
supplied to the G2.1u via a USB cable that is more
than 3 meters in length, the low voltage warning
indication may appear.

Restoring Factory Defaults
In the factory default condition, the patches of the user area (A0 – d9) contain the same settings as the
patches of the preset area (00 – 39). Even after overwriting the user patches, their original content can be
restored in a single operation ("All Initialize" function).
1. Turn the G2.1u on while holding down
the [STORE] key.
The indication "AL" appears on the display.
2. To carry out the All Initialize function,
press the [STORE] key once more.
All patch settings are returned to the factory
default condition, and the unit switches to play
mode. To cancel All Initialize, press the
RHYTHM [R/P] key instead of the [STORE]
key.
NOTE
When you carry out All Initialize, any newly created
patches that were stored in the user area will be
deleted (overwritten). Perform this operation with care
to prevent losing any patches that you want to keep.

Switching between live sound
and direct recording sound
In the above illustration, the DRIVE module is
shown as having 17 effect types. But each effect
type has two algorithms (one for live performance
and one for direct recording) for each of its 17
effect types, so that there are actually 34 effect
types that can be used.
The two algorithms are switched according to the
effect type selected for the EXTRA EQ/CABI &
MIC module, as follows.
●EXTRA EQ is selected
The algorithm for live performance is selected at
the DRIVE module. This is recommended when
using the G2.1u for playing via a guitar amplifier.
●CABINET & MIC is selected
The algorithm for direct recording is selected at
the DRIVE module. This is recommended when
the G2.1u is directly connected to a recorder, or to
a hifi system or other audio device.

Early Reflection
Early Reflection is the component of the reverb sound that reaches to the listener first
after the original sound has bounced off the wall. The reverb sound consists of this
early reflection and the late reflection, and the former characterizes the size of the
room. The early reflection effect extracted from the whole reverb sound has been
quite popular among the rack-mounted signal processors but we have arranged this
effect on the G series especially for the guitar. To get the most popular type of this
effect, you can set the “SHAPE” parameter to the plus value (decaying effect) and
adjust the “DECAY” parameter to decide the size of the simulated room. If you
would like a wild effect, set the “SHAPE” parameter to the extreme minus value and
you will get the special effect that sounds like the tape machine played in reverse.
EXTRA EQ
In addition to the frequency ranges of 160Hz, 800Hz and 3.2kHz (LOW, MID and
TREBLE respectively,) controlled by the normal EQ module, you can boost or cut the
ranges of 400Hz, 6.4kHz and 12kHz using the LOW MID, PRESENCE and HARMONICS
controls respectively in the EXTRA EQ module. These frequency ranges are rarely
controllable with other effect devices made for guitars. With “PRESENCE” you can
adjust the high frequency range that affects the projection of the sound and with
“HARMONICS” you can tweak the overtone contained in the clipped sound. The
overdriven sound of tube amplifiers is rich in overtone and this EXTRA EQ module is
indispensable for the simulation of this aspect of the sound.
Multi Tap Delay
With this effect, you can utilize up to eight independent delay lines whose delay
times can be set separately to make rhythmical patterns. We also provided eight
practical settings ranging from the constant rhythmic pattern to the random one. Try
pattern 2 for example: the played notes are fed back like rhythmical patterns that will
inspire you to come up with various phrases one after another. You could apply this
effect to your solo performances as something different from the sound-on-sound
effect. This effect is programmed as a stereo ping-pong delay and thus we strongly
recommend you to try it using headphones. The delay time can be set to 3 sec.
maximum.
Dynamic Delay/Dynamic Flanger
This is the so-called ducking effect: the mix balance of the dry signal and the effect
signal of a delay or a flanger is controlled by the envelope of the original signal of the
guitar.
In the Dynamic Delay section, you can set the “SENSE” parameter to the minus value
to get the ducking delay effect: the feedback component in the delayed signal is not
put out while there is an input signal and the feedback component arises as soon as
the input signal is muted. This effect is very handy when, for example, you play fast
phrases on the guitar and the feedback component gets in the way. On the other
hand, you can set the “SENSE” parameter to the plus value and you will have the
feedback component while you are playing the guitar and you can cut off the
feedback as soon as you mute the guitar, which should be very handy in the break of
a song where you want to mute all of the sound.
The same thing goes with the “Dynamic Flanger”: you can set the “SENSE”
parameter to the minus value and you will get no flanging effect while the input
signal is high and you will get flanging effect when you lower the signal level of the
input. You can get a unique effect like a long note that is completely dry at the
beginning and then the flanging effect is gradually added as the signal level of the
note decreases. On the other hand, you can have the flanging effect only when you
play loud if you set the “SENSE” parameter to the plus value. This effect works great
when you want to embellish the accents in your arpeggios and riffs or to add a
hidden flavor to your lead guitar sound.

This patch is modeled after the powerful sound which uses the silicone rectifier section of that popular amplifier. You
may want to play riffs and solos with this sound valued by heavy rock guitarists.
Referenced album: "Hybrid Theory" by Linkin Park (2001)
This sound features the high-quality sound of our G2’s signal processing technology with a clean and lush chorus plus
delay patch. Try to use it for accompaniments in pop music, or solo music with your favorite guitar.
We have already started to call the sound of this UK rock band "traditional". This patch is modeled after the punchy
sound of the overdriven JCM 800 amplifier and thus it is suitable also for the hard plucking of modern punk rock guitar
style. This is the sound of Humble Pie in later years with Dave Clemson as its guitar player.
Referenced album: "Smokin'" by Humble Pie (1972)
We took advantage of a newly developed fast tracking pitch shift algorithm and created this simulated synthesizer
sound. We hope you will come up with great solos using this sound reminiscent of Jan Hammer’s exciting trades with
Jeff Beck. Referenced album: “Wired” by Jeff Beck (1976)
This patch is a straightforward modeling of the sound of that black-face Fender Twin Reverb and provides a clean sound
that is indispensable for the ensemble. When you foot down the expression pedal and with the EFX module switched on,
you can add a unique tremolo effect to get that retro-sound instantly. We have selected a room ambience as default to
make this patch suitable for current musical style but, of course, you can replace it with the spring reverb simulation.
Many people through the years have favored Carlos Santana’s guitar sound. This patch is modeled specifically after his
wailing lead sound with sweet distortion. Any of his hits like “Black Magic Woman”, “Europe” or “Adouma” will
sound pleasant if you make use of this patch.
Referenced album: “Amigos” (1976) and “Shaman” (2002) by Santana
This patch is suitable for funky chording, and using the pedal-wah effect. We have arranged a clean sound which can be
used for not only funk music but also any music style. You can create a funky groove by using brushing or single note
cutting.
This patch is the simulation of the legendary tone of the BOSS OD-1 that is considered the de-facto standard for the
overdrive stomp box. The patch can provide high playability and retains the nuances of the guitarists' touches. The
addition of the chorus effect using expression pedal will enable the guitar players to adapt to virtually any musical
situation.
This patch provides a mild lead sound accompanied by the harmonies based on the C major scale and makes our G2 the
world’s first effective device in the class that features the HPS (harmonized pitch shifter) function. You can select the
key and the scale according to the phrase you play.
With this patch selected, your electric guitar will start to sound like an acoustic electric guitar. You can use rich chorus
sound when you foot down the expression pedal. We would recommend you to combine this patch with the single-coil
type front pick-up. You can also use this patch actively to create the clean ensemble effect.
Even if you are the type of guitar player who is proud of wailing solos, you may sometimes want to use thrash power
chords (with some muting-technique on the bridge). The distorted sound of this patch provides the best playability for
that purpose. Referenced album: “Dookie” by Green Day (1994)
This patch provides you with a clean sound with effective use of the compressor. Also with the delay effect set to
synchronize with the 8th notes, you will get Andy Summers' signature sound for arpeggios. You can control delay mix by
expression pedal. Referenced album: “Synchronicity” by the Police (1983)
This wildly fat sound with infinite sustain is modeled truthfully after the sound created by the combination of MXR’s
Dyna Comp and Dallas’ Fuzz Face. Designed for using your guitar’s front pick-up.
Referenced album: “In The Court Of The Crimson King” by King Crimson (1969)
This patch provides the jet sound from the good old days created by the combination of the edgy vintage distortion
stomp box and the flanger. We have rearranged that sound to give a hybrid tone that is retro sounding and refreshing
at the same time by combining the dry distortion, flanging jet-effect and lush reverb.
Referenced album: “Barracuda” by Heart (1972)
This patch is modeled after the classical Brit clean sound of the VOX AC series guitar amps operated in the class A
without the negative feedback. The sound of those amps became enormously popular in the British musical industry of
the 1960s, continued through many famous British groups in the 1970s and has remained popular to this day.
Referenced album: “1962-1966…Red Album” by the Beatles
This powerful sound is the result of the deepest distortion ever created by any multi-effect pedals. The overwhelming
presence of the power chords in lower registers and the smooth responses to the tapping technique will be favored by
the connoisseurs of the high-gain sound. In addition, you can create a pedal pitch effect that bends down 2 octaves.
This patch is modeled after the sound that utilizes the so-called Leslie effect for its vibrato-like character and it is popular
among the American blues-rock players like the late S.R.V. It is suitable for crisp rhythm playing or the dynamic
chording. Referenced album: “Texas Flood” by Stevie Ray Vaughan (1983)
Recently E.V.H. is known as the user of the 5150 amps but in the past he used to create that big crunchy sound with his
specially modified Marshall amp. This patch is the consummate simulation of that E.V.H. sound from his early years. The
name of this patch is, of course, borrowed from that greatest album of V. H. with David Lee Roth. When you foot down
the expression pedal and get the long delay effect on, it makes the best lead sound.
Referenced album: “1984” by Van Halen (1984)
The sound will remind you of the soundtracks of the James Bond series or Spaghetti Western movies.
Referenced album: The soundtracks from “007, Dr. No” (1962)
This sound is ZOOM’S original that became a favorite of the guitarist Brian May. The patch has a very strong character
but you can hear how it is effectively used in his actual recordings. If you are big-fan of Brian May, you may also want
to try the sound with the “step” turned “off” and the “delay” turned “on”. You will be transported to the world of
“Brighton Rock” with that incredible guitar orchestration. With the additional use of the HPS set to the minor 3rd in the
key of E, you will be able to perfect the simulation!! Referenced album: “Innuendo” by Queen (1991)
