Thank you for selecting the ZOOM SUPER PLAYER 8080 (hereafter simply called the "8080").
The 8080 is a sophisticated multi-effect device with the following features and functions:

• 47 types of high-quality single effects produced by two new-generation Zoom

DSP ZFx-2 chips. Up to 10 effects can be combined for simultaneous use, with
flexible patching arrangements. Virtually unlimited possibilities let you create
your ultimate guitar sound.

• Large internal memory holds 150 superb preset patches programmed by top-

notch professionals, plus 50 user- definable patches.

• Many effects simulate the sound of famous vintage effects that are hard to find

nowadays. Faithful recreation even includes the operation 'feel'.

• Seamless patch change lets you activate a new patch while the old patch still

reverberates, ensuring smooth transitions.

• Dedicated analog circuitry for various distortion effects. Built-in amp simulator

maintains dynamic guitar sound also during line recording and headphone
monitoring.

• Patches can include external effect on/off setting and external amp channel

selection.

• Four data entry knobs and an array of large foot switches allow easy control and

adjustment with an analog touch. Even musicians who have so far only used
compact effects will instantly feel at home.

• Integrated auto-chromatic guitar tuning function with tuning meter allows quick

and precise tuning of instruments on stage.

• Three real-time control circuits and two control pedals can be used for pedal

wah, pedal pitch shifter and any other effect parameter or level setting. Separate
control switches allow step-by-step adjustment.

Please take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to get the most out of your 8080 and to
ensure optimum performance and reliability.
