Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 508. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the finish or damage the surface.

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 the cable. If the unit is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet.
Connecting cables and input and output jacks
You should always turn off the power to the 508 and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before moving the 508.

Battery operation

Use only a 9 V (alkaline) battery (6LR61). The 508 cannot be used for recharging. Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure you choose the correct type. If the 508 is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery 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

Avoid using your 508 in environments where it will be exposed to: Extreme temperature High humidity or moisture Excessive dust or sand Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

Caution The 508 is a precision instrument. Except for the foot
switches, do not push other parts with your feet or subject them to strong force. Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or liquids enter the unit. Be sure to turn the power to all equipment off before making connections. Before moving the unit, turn the power off and disconnect all cables and the AC adapter.

Alterations

Never open the case of the 508 or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

The 24 patches can be easily selected by pressing the patch pedals. The right patch pedal switches to the next patch and the left patch pedal switches to the previous patch. In the initial condition, the 508 is set up so that the patch pedals select patches continuously, but you can also set up the unit so that patches are switched only within a certain bank of four patches. [For details, see section 9 Patch Switching (Application: Bank Hold ON).] Banks are selected with the VALUE +/keys. Press the VALUE+ key to select the next bank, and the VALUE- key to select the previous bank. For example, to switch from Patch 2, Bank A to Patch 3, Bank C, the patch pedal would have to be pressed nine times. Instead, you can press the VALUE+ key twice to switch to Bank C, and then press the patch pedal (UP) just once to select Patch 3.

The tuning function will be turned off, and this setting will be stored even when the power is turned off. When you turn the function off, the display will show "tunEr oFF" (tuning function off). To turn the tuning function on, press the same keys simultaneously again. The display will show "tunEr on" (tuning function on).
NOTE: Please note that the tuning function may not operate properly if other effect modules between the guitar and the 508 are on.
3 What Are Banks and Patches?

PATCH

A group of the settings for a certain effect type is called a PATCH. The 508 comes with 24 preset patches which can be changed (edited) by the user.

4 PATCH LIST

The 508 has memory capacity for 24 patches. At the factory, these are programmed with recommended settings. The user can freely change the contents of any patch, and it is also possible to restore the factory settings.

5 Seamless Function

With conventional delay and multi-effect units, the sound cuts off unnaturally when patches are switched. For example, when switching from a solo performance using a long delay to a patch with a short delay for backing, the delay of the previous patch stops abruptly the instant before the next patch starts, causing the reverberation to sound unnatural. This type of problem experienced by guitarists is solved by the 508's revolutionary seamless function. This function holds the delay sound of the previous patch after it has been switched, so that the transition from one patch to the next is performed smoothly. The seamless function can be used in two ways. One method is to leave the time for the delay sound as it is set in the patch. The other method is to force the delay sound to decrease at the timing decided by the seamless function. It is not necessarily preferable to leave the seamless function on normally. Rather, it should be switched on and off to suit the musical circumstances under which patches are switched. (The on/off status of the seamless function can be stored for each patch.) By combining the seamless and hold functions, you can perform solo by using new patches while holding the riff and rhythm pattern (repeat playback). For details, see [12. Effect Parameters].

This jack is for the output signal from the 508. You can connect either a single guitar amplifier, using a monaural shielded cable, or two guitar amplifiers, using a Y-type stereo shielded cable, or a pair of stereo headphones. If the volume level is low when using headphones, use headphones with low impedance (32 ohms or less).

11 Editing Patches

The 508 comes with 24 predefined patches. However, the 508 offers many more possibilities for combining effects in innovative ways. To discover these possibilities, we recommend that you try changing the parameters (elements that make up patches) to create your own patches. This operation is called editing, and is done in the Edit mode. To switch from normal Play mode to Edit mode, press the EDIT key briefly (for less than 1 second).
* Note that if the EDIT key is held down for 1 second or longer, the Bank Hold mode will be activated.

Normally, the bypass function is used for turning the delay function off during performance. However, a patch should be prepared with the effect turned off if you do not want to use a delay sound with the next patch when using the seamless function to hold the delay sound of the previous patch. To turn the effect off, enter Edit mode and select a parameter other than Hold/Tap, and press the left and right patch pedals simultaneously. This operation turns the effect off, and the parameter cursor LEDs for DELAY TYPE will go off. Further, the display will change as below. Display for effect off when the Delay Type parameter has been selected. Display for effect off when another parameter (except Hold/Tap) has been selected.
Auto mode operation Press the FS01 while playing the guitar, and sampling starts. Sampling ends when the duration of the delay time set for that patch, expires, and playback will begin automatically. (The HOLD/TAP indicator will light up.) When you press the FS01 again, the recording will be played back just one more time to the end and the Hold function will be canceled. (The HOLD/TAP indicator will go off.)

Sampling Delay time

The function of this parameter varies depending on the setting range and the selected delay type. Range of setting
In this range, the function of the parameter varies depending on the delay type selected in PARAMETER 1. When a delay type has been selected Sets the delay sound Hi Damp (effect where the high range is suppressed as the delay repeats). Smaller values result in faster suppression of the high-range delay. When a type other than delay type has been selected Sets the delay sound Hi Cut (smaller values result in the high-range delay is cut).
Press foot switch (first time) Sampling Sampling starts stops Press foot switch (second time) Hold function canceled

To turn the effect on again, enter Edit mode (regardless of the parameter currently selected) and press both patch pedals simultaneously. The parameter setting will return to the original value (the parameter value immediately before being turned off). Also, the effect can be turned off by pressing either of the VALUE +/- keys in Edit mode.
* In Manual mode you may want to set the delay time longer, and in Auto mode set it so that it will match the tempo of the song. *The hold function can be used by pressing the left and right patch pedals simultaneously instead of pressing the FS01. However, for this case, it can be used only in the status selected for the Hold/Tap parameter in Edit mode. * When connecting the FS01, be sure to switch the power off beforehand. Also, if the FS01 is not working as you had expected, switch off the unit and then switch it on again.

Range of setting

# Master level adjustment
PARAMETER 6 EFFECT MIX PARAMETER 7 SEAMLESS MODE
Larger values result in a higher mix level for the delay sound. When you press the +/- keys simultaneously, the value changes in tens -- 10, 20.50.
Adjusts the mix of the delay for the original sound. Range of setting
With the 508 you are also able to set the master effect level that governs the overall effect output level. The master effect level is adjusted in Play mode. Hold the VALUE +/- keys down simultaneously for at least 1 second. The current master level will be displayed for 1 second. While the level is being displayed, use the VALUE +/- keys to change it. The setting range is 0-50. (Default value = 40) The unit does not store the setting for the master effect level. Each time the power is turned on it has to be set again.
The tap function sets the delay time to match the time between when the FS01 is pressed once and then again. This is a handy function for setting the delay time to match the tempo of the music. To use the tap function, the FS01 foot switch must be connected via the CONTROL IN jack. Also, the patch must be selected in advance with the setting tP for the Hold/Tap parameter. Once preparations are complete, press the FS01 and then press it once again within 4 seconds. This operation will set the interval for the delay time of the patch currently selected.
Measuring delay time (valid up to 4 seconds)
Sets the length of the overlap of delay sound by the seamless function when the current patch is switched to a different patch. Range of setting

When the display indicates oF, the seamless function is off. In the range from 0.5 to 10, the time set by this parameter will overlap, regardless of the delay time set in the patch. When the display indicates oo, the delay sound is held for a period of time set in the patch.

Hold function

oF 0.5
The Hold function allows you to press the optional FS01 foot switch to start sampling (recording) the performance, and play back the recording repeatedly until you press the foot switch again. The Hold function has two modes; Manual mode that allows you to specify the end point of sampling using the foot switch, and Auto mode in which the sampling operation is performed for a period of delay time set in the patch. Preparation for using the Hold function To use the Hold function, connect the FS01 foot switch to the CONTROL IN jack. Also, select the patch that has a setting of Hd for the Hold/Tap parameter. Manual mode operation Press the FS01 to start sampling while playing the guitar, and press the FS01 again before the delay time set in the patch expires. The performance made from when you press the FS01 first until when you press it the second time will be sampled and held (played back repeatedly). (The HOLD/TAP indicator will light up.) When you press the FS01 for the third time, the sampled

PARAMETER 8 HOLD/TAP

This parameter is used when the optional FS01 foot switch is connected to the CONTROL IN jack, or when the left and right patch pedals are used to invoke the hold function (for holding the delay sound) or the TAP function (sets the delay time for when the foot switch is pressed). The function used is set for each patch. Range of setting
When the display indicates Hd, the hold function can be used. When the display indicates tP, the tap function can be used.
*If the pedal is not pressed twice within 4 seconds, the setting for the tap function is not valid, and the delay time for the patch will not change. *The tap function can be used by pressing the left and right patch pedals simultaneously instead of pressing the FS01. However, for this case, it can be used only in the status selected for the Hold/Tap parameter in Edit mode. * When connecting the FS01, be sure to switch the power off beforehand. Also, if the FS01 is not working as you had expected, switch off the unit and then switch it on again.
9 Patch Switching (Application: Bank Hold ON)
In the initial setting, the patch pedal switches all patches in order, regardless of the bank divisions. The bank hold function limits switching to the four patches within a bank. When this function is activated, the patch pedals switch in order between the patches in the current bank only. To activate this function, hold the EDIT key down for at least 1 second in Play mode. The BANK HOLD indicator will light. To turn the function off, again hold the EDIT key down for at least 1 second. The BANK HOLD indicator will go off. Banks can be switched using the VALUE +/- keys.

Bank Hold ON

Keeping the EDIT key depressed for at least 1 second activates Bank Hold. To cancel Bank Hold, press the EDIT key again for 1 second.

10 Patch Switching (Application: Direct Load OFF)
In the default condition, the 508 is set up in such a way that pressing a patch pedal immediately switches the patch and alters the output sound. This is called Direct Load ON. This switching principle is most convenient when the desired patches are adjacent or close to each other. However, when wanting to switch to a patch that is further away, it may be desirable not to activate the sound of the other patches in between. When this is desired, turn the Direct Load function off as follows. When Direct Load has been turned off, switching banks and patches has no effect until the user confirms the selection.

DIRECT LOAD OFF

Keeping STORE key depressed for 1 second turns Direct Load off. The same procedure serves to turn it on.
For example, when going from patch 1 to patch 4 with Direct Load active, patches 2 and 3 will briefly be heard when the patch UP pedal is pressed three times. When Direct Load is off, pressing the patch UP pedal will change the number on the display (the number flashes), but until the user confirms the choice, the sound remains that of patch 1. To turn Direct Load on or off, keep the STORE key depressed for at least 1 second. To confirm a choice after selecting a patch with Direct Load off, press both patch pedals simultaneously.

13 Storing Patches

If you have edited (altered) a patch and turn the 508 off without storing the patch, the patch will revert to its old setting. To store an edited patch, use the following simple procedure. Storing can be carried out in both Play mode and Edit mode. After you have edited the patch, press the STORE key. If the unit is currently in Play mode, release the key before 1 second has elapsed, otherwise the Direct Load function will be activated. The display starts to flash. This condition is called the store standby condition. If you wish, you can abandon the store procedure at this point by pressing the EDIT key. If you press the STORE key once more, the contents of the patch are updated. You can also change the patch number before storing, so that the edited patch will be stored in a different number. In this case, the original patch that was used as a starting point for editing will not be changed.

(2) Press the STORE key. (Unit enters store standby mode.) (4) Press the STORE key once more. (Store process is completed.)
(1) Edit the patch as desired.
(3) Select the patch for storing.

14 Replacing the Battery

If the tuning indicator flashes while the unit is being powered from the battery, the battery is exhausted and should be replaced as described below. Since the 508 has fairly high rated power consumption, use only a 6LRV (alkaline) battery. Using another kind of battery will result in shorter operation.
1. Turn the 508 upside down and open the cover of the battery compartment. (Push the catch to unlock the cover, then lift it up.) 2. Remove the battery from the compartment and disconnect the battery cable. (Grasp the terminal strip and do not pull at the cable.) 3. Connect the battery cable to the new battery, taking care to observe correct polarity (+/-). Then insert the battery into the battery compartment. 4. Close the battery compartment cover, taking care not to pinch the cable. (Make sure that the cover is properly locked.)

6LRV (alkaline) battery

15 Returning Patches to Factory Settings
The 508 comes with 24 predefined patches that have been programmed at the factory. Also after you have edited and stored your own patches, you can return to the factory default settings at any time. This process is called "recalling". Returning all 24 patches to the original contents and resetting the Bank Hold and Direct Load functions is called "all initialize". The Recall mode is separate from the Play mode and Edit mode. You cannot switch directly to Recall mode from these modes. The Recall mode can only be activated by turning the unit on in a special way, as described below. 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn the unit off by disconnecting the AC adapter or the guitar input cable. Keep the STORE key depressed and turn the unit on. The indication "AL" flashes on the display. To perform "all initialize", press the STORE key once more in this condition. The flashing rate increases and the initialization procedure is carried out. When it is completed, the unit automatically enters the Play mode. 5. When wishing to recall only a particular patch, select the patch number in step 3, using the same procedure as for normal patch selection. 6. When the desired patch has been selected, press the STORE key. The flashing rate increases and the contents of the selected patch are recalled. 7. Recalling of individual patches can be carried out continuously. When you wish to terminate the process, press the EDIT key. The unit then returns to the Play mode. Turning the unit off also terminates the recall condition.
