Energizer using 12AX7 tube
Giving
body to the guitar sound and adding supple power
and intensity - that is the task of the Energizer.
Turning up the TUBE control to drive the 12AX7
produces warm crunch with rich harmonics. The
BOOST control spruces up highs and lows, resulting
in more transparency. Enjoy a powerful tone also
when recording directly to a line input or via
USB on a computer. |
ZFX-3 - a 32-bit DSP designed
by ZOOM
The heart of any
multi-effect device is its processor and decoder
section. ZOOM has started a fresh chapter with
its new ZFX-3 chip. The 32-bit architecture ensures
outstanding performance and allows smooth and
detailed signal processing. Accuracy and speed
ensure that even delicate picking and fingering
work come across with impressive clarity. |
DSP sound modeling
plus tube circuitry create the ultimate in
distortion 
96 kHz sampling
and 24-bit A/D/A conversion assure super high
resolution sound. An abundance of signal processing
power allows accurate recreation of the complex
upper-range harmonics that are the hallmark of
tube amplifiers. Analog circuitry using a 12AX7
tube then adds that classic warmth and sonic
impact to the DSP sound. The result combines
the best of the digital and analog worlds: distortion
so advanced and sophisticated it elevates your
guitar playing to the next level. |
Preamp section
with two channels
The preamp section,
comprised of the amp/drive-modeling, and EQ modules
offers two channels per patch. You can easily
select a channel by simple foot switch operation.
Toggle between a Fender clean sound for rhythm
and a Marshall drive sound for lead, while keeping
modulation and spatial effect settings the same.
The user interface with analog knobs lets you
shape the sound with the same facility as on
a guitar amp. |
Great for stage
work or direct recording
The amp/drive-modeling
blocks have two dedicated algorithms for each
amp/drive type, designed for live playing and
direct recording. The CABINET effect simulates
amp and mic recording characteristics as well,
and the algorithm is automatically switched according
to the CABINET on/off setting.This lets you bring
the same guitar sound that you used during practice
or recording right on to the stage. Alternatively,
sound settings that were determined during a
session with the band can be used seamlessly
in the studio as well. |
Amp select
feature
This function
optimizes frequency response to match the amp
that you are using. Settings are available to
get the best out of popular models such as Roland
JC-120, a Fender combo, and a Marshall stack.
The -10 dBm/+4 dBm output level switch allows
the G9.2tt to be used as a preamp, directly connected
to the power amp input of a guitar amplifier. |
6-band graphic
equalizer 
The built-in EQ
module has six frequency bands optimized for
electric guitar. Peaking type filters in the
crucial middle range (400 Hz, 800 Hz, 3. 2 kHz,
6.4 kHz) are augmented by shelving type filters
at the low and high end (160 Hz and 12 kHz).
This ensures the shortest possible route from
inspiration to actual sound. |
Guitar amplifier/stomp
box modeling
Analog devices
such as tubes and diodes have unique clipping
characteristics. Sophisticated digital simulation
finally makes it possible to recreate the sound
of vintage tube amps and effect devices with
astonishing realism. From popular names such
as Fender, Marshall, and VOX to modern amps including
MESA BOOGIE, Hughes & Kettner, and Diezel - the
list of choices is extensive. The cabinet simulator
even has settings for mic position, to achieve
totally natural sounding performance. |
32-bit processing
for a wide choice of high-quality guitar sound
effects
Ranging from trusty
old standards to advanced choices for specialized
needs, the effect collection of the G9.2tt comprises
120 effects in 10 modules. Pick an MXR Dynacomp,
famous for its unusual compression action, or
select wah pedal simulations such as VOX and
CRYBABY. Choose from three types of chorus for
creating a solid, wide sound stage. Access seven
types of reverb with transparent, unblurred sound.
And the list goes on: tremolo with selectable
modulation waveform, bend chorus with individual
pitch bending, harmonized pitch shifter, multi-tap
delay even reverse delay. These professional
quality effects will fuel the creativity of every
guitarist. The preamp section and wah/filter
effects allow changing the module insert position
for even more advanced tonal control. |
Preset patches
ready to use for recording or live performance
Whether you are
after a true-blue vintage tone or fat high-gain
sound, you will find a choice here. There are
settings that accurately simulate well-known
amps and stomp boxes, settings that are modeled
on the signature sound of famous guitarists,
as well as totally original ZOOM effect sounds.
The past and the future of guitar sound is right
there at your fingertips. The G9.2tt comes preprogrammed
with a total of 80 preset patches. For creative
leeway, a user area capable of storing the same
number of patches is also provided. |
Intuitive interface
great for stage use
Each
of the four analog style rotary knobs let you directly
edit parameters on-the-fly, a total of four simultaneously.
The LCD panel clearly shows patch and parameter names.
Direct access keys are provided for each module.
The advanced user interface is designed to ensure
hassle-free operation, while not getting in the way
of your creativity. On stage, the foot switches allows
easy effect bank selection, module and hold delay
on/off switching or tap tempo input. The self-lit
switches show module status at a glance. |
Real-time modulation
for 4 simultaneous parameters fosters lively
playing
The built-in expression
pedal allows control over effect parameters in
realtime. Common pedal effects such as wah, pitch,
and volume control are ofcourse supported, but
you can also opt to adjust drive gain, modulationrate,
delay/reverb mix level, and other parameters.
Up to four parameterscan be assigned to a single
pedal, allowing dramatic techniques such asraising
the chorus, delay, and reverb at the same time.
Create a rotary speaker style sound by varying
tremolo, chorus, and auto-panning rate. Also,the
ARRM (Auto Repeat Real-time Modulation) function
is capable of producingrhythmical tone changes,
opening up a wealth of possibilities. |
World's fastest
patch change speed: 7 ms
Switching
patches has never been smoother or less noticeable.
With its record-setting speed of 0.007 seconds (7ms),
the G series never miss a beat.When changing to a
lead preset in the middle a song, you no longer need
to press the switch in advance, simply push the foot
switch and start playing your solo. |
Built-in tuner
supports special tuning requirements
The guitar tuner
can be called up instantly by pushing a dedicated
footswitch. In addition to the standard auto-chromatic
tuner, various othertuning methods for guitar
and bass are possible, and open tunings are alsosupported.
High-brightness LED indicators make the note
readout easy to seeon a dark stage. The calibration
range is A 435 to 445 Hz, and muted tuning(without
sound output) is also possible. Tuning your guitar
has never been easier or more convenient |
ZNR keeps playing
pauses really quiet
The built-in ZOOM
Noise Reduction (ZNR) provides optimized signal
performance for guitar. While minimizing any
alteration of the original sound, ZNR cuts unwanted
noise during pauses. Tails of sustained notes
remain unaffected, with a long natural release. |
Ultra low noise
design with 120 dB S/N ratio and -100 dB noise
floor
With an amazing
rated signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB and a -100
dB noise floor, background noise ceases to be
a problem, leaving only superbly clean, transparent
sound. |
Sturdy metal
chassis and rubber damping for superior toughness
and
durability
The combination
of a solid metal chassis with shock-absorbant
rubber damping ensures that the unit can stand
up to the rigors of on stage use. Take it on
the road or bring it into the studio, the G9.2tt
will not let you down. And it looks great, too,
the stylish two-tone coloring using silver and
black, rounded shape, and chrome-plated parts
give the unit a high-class, futuristic appearance. |
USB based audio
interface functions
The USB port allows
the unit to function as an audio interface for
a computer. Simply plug the unit in to your computer
with a USB cable to use the high-quality sound
of the G9.2tt in a computer-based recording system.

a wealth of possibilities. You can switch patches
in conjunction with a MIDI enabled preamp, or
use the unit as a real-time controller for other
MIDI equipment. By connecting the MIDI interface
to a computer, you may use a dedicated editor/librarian
application to edit and store patch data. |
AUX IN jacks
accommodate external sources
The
playback signal from external sources can be plugged-into
the AUX input. Jam along with a rhythm machine, external
CD or mp3 player. You may also utilize the connectors
as a stereo line input to record audio into your
computer via the USB interface.
|
Accelerator
blends tube and solid state sound
The analog input
section incorporates an Accelerator that can
amplify the signal in a tube or a solid-state
based circuit. The 12AX7 tube produces fat, sturdy
sound that can be mixed with the clear and transparent
sound from the solid-state circuit. Blending
natural compression with typical tube saturation
characteristics creates a rich, organic tone. |
Z-pedal takes
pedal performance to the next level 
The pedal on the
right side of the G9.2tt supports 3D action by
sensing not only conventional up/down but also
sideways movement. The Z-pedal lets you build
highly complex sound control patterns by allowing
you to assign up to four parameters in each axis
of pedal movement (vertical and horizontal).
There are also effects specifically designed
for use with the Z-pedal. Get creative in ways
never imagined before, and explore a whole new
realm of pedal performance. |
External send/return
loop connectors
A separate stomp
box, rack-mount effect or other device can be
connected to the G9.2tt's effects loop and used
as part of a patch. Send/return level as well
as on/off status are stored as part of the patch.
