ZOOM BFX-708

Introduction
Thank you for selecting the ZOOM BFX-708 (hereafter simply called the "BFX-708"). The BFX-708 is a sophisticated multi-effect device with the following features and functions:

ntroduction

Large variety of built-in effects
Four separate effect modules (single/combined effects) can be used at the same time, together with ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) and the built-in amp simulator. Effects include compressor/distortion effects specially designed for bass players, various modulation effects such as chorus and flanger, reverberation effects such as reverb and delay. In total, you have 48 types of effects readily available.
60 immediately usable patches
A combination of effect modules and parameter settings stored in memory is called a "patch". The BFX-708 has room for 30 patches that are read-only and 30 that can be freely modified by the user. So you have a total of 60 patches readily available. Patches are organized in banks (A - F, 0 - 5), each with five patches. It is even possible to assign a distinctive name of up to 6 characters to each patch.
Designed for use on stage
The BFX-708 will operate continuously for up to 14 hours on one set of alkaline batteries. The large display showing patch names is easy to read at a distance, and the built-in expression pedal is great for enhancing any performance. For extended use, the unit can also be powered by an AC adapter.
Rotary knobs allow speedy parameter editing
When editing a patch, the three knobs on the top panel let you change parameters with a quick and direct feel. Even during a performance, fine-tuning an effect is no problem at all. The edited patch can be stored for later use.
A first in this class: built-in rhythm section
A high quality PCM sound source creates realistic rhythm patterns that are handy for practicing or for small jam sessions. You can choose from as many as 45 rhythm patterns.

6-second sampler

Built-in sampler allows recording of bass guitar sounds or external sources such as a CD player for up to 6 seconds. It even allows half-speed playback without altering the pitch. This feature comes in handy when copying phrases.

Jam Play

With a simple foot switch operation, you can record and play a phrase of up to 2 seconds during a gig. This is great for creating scratch effects such as used by DJs, doing reverse playback or producing other special effects.

Integrated amp simulator

Integrated amp simulator duplicates the acoustic characteristics and cabinet sound of a bass guitar amplifier for a dynamic sound also when sending the line output to a mixer or recorder.
Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of your BFX708 and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

If the unit is not to be powered from batteries for an extended period, remove the batteries from the battery compartment. Otherwise battery fluid may leak and cause damage to the unit. An AC adapter is not supplied with the unit.

If you plan to use several patches in a song, copying them to continuous numbers in the USER group will make them easy to call up. For information on copying patches, p. 16 You can also set up the unit to reserve a patch and switch to it only after you confirm the selection. (For details, p. 14.)
Using the Bypass (Mute) and Tuner Function
The BFX-708 incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner for bass guitars. To use the tuner function, the built-in effects must be bypassed (temporarily turned off) or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off).
To set the BFX-708 to the bypass (mute) mode, press and immediately release both w/v foot switches in play mode.
The indication "BYPASS" will appear on the display and the BANK/PATCH indicator shows "--".

Release immediately

When the display shows the desired note, perform fine tuning until the center module LED lights up.

SC (Scratch): Use expression pedal to play with scratch type
For a detailed explanation of Jam Play, see page 21.

TOTAL module

TOTAL is not an independent effect module. Rather it serves to set parameters that affect all patches or the entire BFX-708. You can switch between the TOTAL 1 and TOTAL 2 pages with the TYPE (BANK) w/v keys.

TOTAL 1

Parameter 1 Specifies input position Parameter 2 Selects characters Parameter knobs 1 and 2 let you input or edit a patch name. Knob 1 specifies the character input position (indicated by the flashing part of the display), and knob 2 selects the alphanumeric character to be input at that position.

(Space) (Space)

TOTAL 2
Parameter 1 DIRLOD on, oF Switches Direct Load function on and off. When "on", the sound changes immediately when the patch is switched (default). When "oF", reading in the new patch is delayed until confirmed by the user. This parameter applies to all patches. It is stored automatically when the parameter setting is changed. Parameter 2 BNKHLD on, oF Switches Bank Hold function on and off. When "oF", repeatedly pressing the v foot switch cycles through all patches and banks, such as A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 B1. When "on", the bank is fixed and patches are switched only within the bank, such as A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A1. This parameter applies to all patches. It is reset to "oF" at poweron. Parameter 3 INGAIN Hi, Lo Adjusts input signal gain characteristics. For details, see page 8. This parameter applies to all patches. It is automatically stored when the parameter setting is changed.
Parameter 3 PATLVL Sets final patch level. Level adjustment is performed with parameter knob 3. A value of 25 corresponds to unity gain.

PEDAL module

Strictly speaking, the PEDAL module is not an effect module. It contains various settings for the expression pedal.
Parameter 1 ASSIGN oF, VL, dS, Md, rV Selects module to be assigned to expression pedal. oF: Off VL: Volume dS: COMPDIST module Md: MOD module rv: REV module Parameter 2 MODE UP, dn, Hi, Lo Determines how parameter changes when pedal is moved.

UP: Parameter minimum value maximum value (forward direction) dn: Parameter maximum value minimum value (reverse direction) Hi: Current value maximum value (forward direction) Lo: Minimum value current value (forward direction)
Parameter 2 MINVOL Sets minimum value when using expression pedal as volume pedal (ASSIGN parameter set to "VL").
When using the expression pedal as a volume pedal, the volume changes from the MINVOL value to the maximum value in the forward direction, regardless of the MODE parameter setting. Parameters 1 and 2 can be set for each patch and are stored when the patch is stored. Parameter 3 applies to all patches and is automatically stored when the setting is changed.
For information on adjusting parameters with the expression pedal, see page 22.
Besides its regular sampler, the BFX-708 incorporates a Jam Play feature that records and plays a bass phrase of up to 2 seconds. This allows hold delay, and the phrase can also be played in reverse. The direction and speed of playback can be controlled with the expression pedal, letting you achieve a "scratch" effect such as used by DJs. To use Jam Play, select a patch for which the effect type of the REV module is set to JAM, and set the STYLE parameter (playback method) and TRG/GT parameter (foot switch function) as desired.
Select the patch to use with Jam Play. Activate edit mode, and select JAM as effect type for the REV module ( p. 15). Verify that the REV module is ON. Turn parameter knob 1 and select the STYLE parameter (playback method for recorded phrase).
nM (Normal): Play in normal direction. rS (Reverse): Play in reverse direction. SC (Scratch): Use expression pedal to play with scratch type effect. From center position, pedal controls either forward or reverse playback.

tL (Trigger Loop)

Pressing w foot switch causes loop play
Pressing w foot switch during play stops play

GS (Gate One-Shot)

While w foot switch is pressed, one play run from start is performed
Releasing w foot switch stops play

GL (Gate Loop)

Play in normal direction
Recorded phrase Play in reverse direction While w foot switch is pressed, loop play from start is performed Releasing w foot switch stops play
When the STYLE parameter is set to "nM" (Normal) or "rS" (Reverse), use parameter knob 1 to set the TRG/GT parameter (trigger/gate mode).

rS (Retrigger One-Shot)

tS (Trigger One-Shot)
Pressing w foot switch causes one play run from start Pressing w foot switch during play to restart from beginning
When the STYLE parameter is set to "SC", this parameter has no effect.
Pressing w foot switch causes one play run from start Pressing w foot switch during play stops play
Move to the PEDAL module and assign the expression pedal to the REV module ( p. 22). Store the patch and return to the play mode.
In play mode, when a patch where JAM Play can be used is selected, the REV and PEDAL module LEDs are flashing.
The function of the w foot switch and expression pedal depends on the STYLE parameter and TRG/GT parameter setting. When "nM" or "rS" is selected as STYLE parameter, the expression pedal can be used to adjust the level of the playback signal. To record and play a new phrase, repeat steps 8 - 10.
Push down the expression pedal fully.
The BFX-708 enters the Jam Play mode and goes into the recording standby condition. The indication "JP" is shown on the BANK/PATCH indicator.
While playing your instrument, press the v foot switch when you want to start recording.
As opposed to the regular sampler function, the signal recorded for Jam Play always is processed by the currently selected effects.
11 To terminate the Jam Play mode, push the
expression pedal once more fully down or press the EDIT (CANCEL) key.
Also after terminating the Jam Play mode, the most recent recorded phrase is temporarily retained by the unit and can be used again when a patch is selected for which Jam Play is enabled. If Jam Play is enabled for both patches, it is also possible to switch between patches while playing the recorded phrase. When the regular sampler is used or when the unit is turned off, the phrase is cleared.
To stop recording midway, press the w foot switch. Alternatively, after 2 seconds, recording stops automatically.
10 Use the w foot switch or the expression
pedal to control play/stop of the recorded phrase.
Controlling an Effect With the Pedal
The expression pedal of the BFX-708 can be used to control the volume or parameters of the COMPDIST, MOD, and REV modules in real time.
In edit mode, use the MODULE / keys to cause the PEDAL module LED to flash.
When wishing to control a parameter with the expression pedal, the parameter must first be assigned to the pedal in edit mode.
Use parameter knob 2 to select the way the parameter changes when the pedal is moved.
Parameter 2 is the MODE parameter that determines the range and direction of the change caused by the expression pedal. Available settings are "UP", "dn" (Down), Hi (High), Lo (Low).

Adjusting the Expression Pedal
The expression pedal of the BFX-708 uses a highly reliable optical sensor mechanism. The pedal is adjusted for optimum operation at the factory, but sometimes, readjustment may be necessary. If on/off switching is not performed when the pedal is fully pushed down, or if on/off switching occurs even if the pedal is only lightly pushed, adjust the pedal as follows.
Turn power to the BFX-708 on while keeping the SAMPLER key depressed.
The indication "MIN" flashes on the display.
With the expression pedal fully raised, press the STORE key.
The display indication changes to "MAX".
Push strongly, so that pedal touches here
When foot is lifted, pedal returns slightly

Press STORE key

The adjustment is completed, and the unit returns to the play mode.
The point where the STORE key is pressed in HINT step 3 determines the on/off switching point. If you want the pedal to perform on/off switching with a lighter touch, push the key at a somewhat higher position of the pedal.
Push the expression pedal fully down and then lift your foot off the pedal (the pedal goes back a little). Press the STORE key at this point.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Check
