The default setting after power-on is 40 (center A = 440 Hz). While the reference pitch is shown, you can change the pitch by turning the [VALUE] dial. The setting range is 35 (435 Hz) - 45 (445 Hz) in 1-Hz steps. When the GFX-3 is turned off and on again, it will be reset to 440 Hz. 4. To return to the normal condition, press one of the foot switches [1] - [3]. The patch of that foot switch becomes active again. NOTE If you switch the bank/group while using the tuner, the tuner function will be temporarily disabled. When you return to the original bank/group, the tuner function becomes active again. ZOOM GFX-3 Changing the Sound of a Patch Changing the Sound of a Patch how to edit patches. INPUT COMP/ISO DRIVE EQUALIZER Patch configuration Each patch of the GFX-3 consists of several effects (effect modules), as shown in the illustration above. A patch is a stored combination of modules, each with their distinct parameter settings. Within each module, there are several different but related effects which are called effect types. For example, the MOD (modulation) module comprises effect types such as CHORUS, PHASER, and WAH, of which one can be selected. The elements that determine the sound of a patch are called effect parameters. Each module has certain effect parameters, whose value can be adjusted with the effect module keys, PARAMETER keys, [VALUE] dial, etc. NOTE Also within the same module, different effect types will have different parameters. Basic editing The most common steps for editing a patch are shown below. For a detailed description of effect types and parameters in each module, see the section "Effect Types and Parameters" on pages 17 - 22. ZNR CABINET MOD REV/DLY OUTPUT 1. Select the patch to edit. Patches for editing can be selected from either a preset group (A, b) or a user group (U/u). Patches from a preset group are read-only. If you have altered such a patch and want to keep it, you must store it in a user group (>p.14 ). 2. To change the patch level, operate the [VALUE] dial. While the group/bank number indication is shown on the display, the [VALUE] dial can be used to adjust the patch level (final output level of the patch). When you turn the dial, the current patch level setting (1 - 30) appears on the display. A dot (.) in the bottom right of the display indicates that the patch has been edited. 3. If required, use the three selectors to choose the DRIVE, MOD, and REV/DLY module effect type. [CLASSIC] key [STANDARD] key [DRIVE] selector The distortion type of the DRIVE module is set with the [DRIVE] selector and the two module keys ([CLASSIC]/[STANDARD]).

[MOD] Selector [REV/DLY] Selector 4. Use the module keys to select the module to edit. The module keys serve for selecting an effect module to work with. The assignment of keys to effect modules is shown above. The keys for modules that are ON in a given patch are lit. When you press a key to select the module, the light flashes. (If you select a module that is currently off, the key flashes more slowly.) 5. To switch the module between ON and OFF, press the module key once more. 6. Select the parameter to edit with the parameter keys. The parameter keys serve for choosing a parameter within the currently selected module. Each push of the key brings up the next parameter, and the setting value of that parameter is shown on the display. The parameters that are assigned to the parameter keys for each module are printed on the panel. When the EQ module is selected, the parameter keys correspond to the following parameters. EQ modul PRESENCE TREBLE MIDDLE BASS Parameters NOTE When you use the selector to switch the effect type, the parameter type also changes. Select the effect type first, and then select the parameter. 7. Use the [VALUE] dial to change the setting. The [VALUE] dial controls the setting value of the currently selected parameter. The current setting value is shown on the display. 8. Repeat steps 3 - 7 to edit other modules and parameters. NOTE To keep the patch, be sure to perform the steps for storing it (> p. 14). Otherwise all changes will be lost when you switch to another patch. ZOOM GFX-3 Storing a Patch Storing a Patch 1. Press the [STORE] key. The GFX-3 goes into store standby condition. The display shows the current group name and bank number, and the LED of the respective foot switch lights up. HINT A patch can be stored either while playing it or while it is being edited. 2. Use the BANK [Q]/[W] keys and the foot switches [1] - [3] to select ...
