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. |
