Introduction

Thank you for selecting the ZOOM PLAYER 2100 (called 2100 in this manual). The 2100 is a multi-effects unit with the following features:

Versatile effects

The 2100 has 33 versatile effects. You can combine up to seven effects. In particular, the 2100 offers thirteen distortion effects (for the DIST module) for discerning guitarists, including Clean, Distortion, Acoustic simulator, etc. It also features an Amp simulator and ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction). Abundant preset patches You can use up to 60 patches, including 30 PRESET patches and 30 USER patches. 32-second Sampler function (Quick guide See page 12.) ZOOM has developed a Sampler function that allows you to record a phrase up to 32 seconds long from a CD and play back the data at lower speeds. This function also plays data without changing the pitch at lower speeds and improves tonal quality. You can also record your own performance as a one-man jam session. This can be of great help in your guitar education. Customize/Jam play (Quick guide See page 8 9.) The 2100 features a [FUNCTION] switch to which you can assign a function. The following four functions are available : 1. Bank Down mode: Switches to one bank number lower. 2. Manual mode: Switches each effect on and off during performance. 3. Control mode: Enables you to use the RTM function. 4. Jam Play mode: Allows you to use three basic samplers that can be recorded for up to five seconds simultaneously. RTM (Real Time Modulation) function (Quick guide See page 14.) Connecting an optional foot pedal FP01/FP02 or using the [FUNCTION] switch enables you to adjust the following parameters in real-time : 1. Volume control 2. COMP/WAH module effects 3. Pedal Pitch Shifter in the MOD module 4. Delay in the MOD module (Sound-on-sound) Flexible use for performance (Quick guide See page 5.) The patches you create at home might sound completely different in the studio at high volume. Dont worry. It is easy to correct the sound. You can adjust the gain of the distortion effects, the reverberation of the reverb effects, and the presence without changing the patch parameters. Great support on the stage (Quick guide See page 7.) The 2100 has an auto chromatic tuner for guitars, which can be used on stage easily.
Please read this manual carefully so you can understand the functions of your 2100 and to ensure optimum performance and reliability for an extended period of time.

Glossary

This section describes the terminology for the 2100 used in this manual.

s Effect module

An effect module is an effect that processes or adds effects to a sound, such as compact-type effects including compressor and delay. You can combine up to seven effect modules in the 2100. The diagram at the bottom of this page shows the signal flow through the effect modules in the 2100.
q Effect parameters: These parameters determine the intensity and the signal flow of each effect module. The effect parameter settings will be stored for each patch individually. q Patch parameters: These parameters determine the settings independently of each effect module and include the final level and the ZNR setting of a patch. The patch parameter settings will be stored for each patch individually. q Global parameters: These parameters are shared by all patches globally. Changes to the global parameters do not take effect when you switch between patches. They take effect when you turn off the power to the unit.

s Patch / Group / Bank

A patch is a unit of memory to which you store and from which you recall effect settings. That is, a patch is a combination of up to seven effect modules and stores the parameter settings of those effect modules. You can store a patch in one of two groups: rewritable USER group and read-only PRESET group. Each group can store up to 30 patches. A total of up to 60 patches can be stored in the 2100. You recall any three patches as a set and use foot switches 13 on the front panel to switch among these three patches. This combination set of three patches is called a bank. The USER group and the PRESET group have ten banks (09) each.

s Mode

The 2100 operates in five modes: q Play mode: Allows you to select patches and use the effects during performance. q Manual mode: Allows you to turn the modules on and off during performance. q Edit mode: Allows you to edit the effect parameters and patch parameters of the currently-selected patch. q Store mode: Allows you to store the edited patch into memory or move a patch to another memory location. q Special mode: This mode offers a special function that allows you to reset the internal settings and all patches in the USER group (or a particular patch in the USER group) to the factory default settings.

s Amp Sim (Amp Simulator)
You can apply the amp simulator effect (to simulate the unique characteristics of a guitar amplifier). Select from the following:
The global parameter settings are not affected even if you switch the patches. These parameters are reset when you turn off the power to the 2100. As an exception, however, you can store the AmpSim and FUNCTION settings. To store these settings, select the desired patch and follow the steps for the store operation (see page 11).
Temporarily turning the effects off (Bypass)
You may turn off all the effects in the patch, and output only the dry instrument sound. (This is called the Bypass function.) This function is useful when you wish to check the intensity of the effects.
Press and immediately release the foot switch with the same number as the currently-selected patch in Play mode (the number shown on the right of the display).
The effects are bypassed, and the dry instrument sound is output. At this time, the display indicates for a while, then indicates .
