ZOOM FIRE-36
This section explains how to operate the panel controls and how to use patches and other functions
of the FIRE-36.
Basic operation
1.
Verify that the [MASTER] knob is turned fully anticlockwise. Then turn the [POWER]
switch on. Set the [GAIN]/[BASS]/[MIDDLE]/[TREBLE]/[LEVEL] knobs to the center
position.
Immediately after turning on the power, the manual mode is selected ([MANUAL] key is lit).
2.
Use the [DRIVE TYPE] knob and the [VARIATION] key to select the drive type and
variation.
Amplifier characteristics and distortion depth will differ, depending on the selected drive type. To
create your sound in manual mode, first use the [DRIVE TYPE] knob to select the drive type, and
then choose the variation (standard/vintage) with the [VARIATION] key.
(For information on available drive types, see page 18.)
3.
Raise the [MASTER] knob to a suitable position, and adjust the distortion depth and
volume with the [GAIN] knob and [LEVEL] knob while playing your guitar.
Normally, you will use the [GAIN] knob to adjust distortion depth and the [LEVEL] knob to
adjust the level for a particular patch. The [MASTER] knob controls the overall volume, common
to all patches.
4.
Use the [BASS]/[MIDDLE]/[TREBLE] knobs to adjust the tone.
You can also use the [BOOST], [SUSTAIN], [EDGE], and [BOTTOM] keys to increase the sound
pressure, prolong sustain, and emphasize the high or low frequency range.
5.
To change the ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) setting, press the [ZNR] key.
The LED of the key flashes, and the current setting (Z1 - Z9, oF) is shown for about 2 seconds on
the display. Use the [
Q
]/[
W
] keys to select the new setting. To switch ZNR on or off, press the
[ZNR] key once more. Higher setting values result in more effective noise reduction. Set the value
as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off abruptly.
6.
To turn the unit off, turn the [MASTER] knob all the way down and then turn off the
[POWER] switch.
