Congratulations and thank you for choosing the Zoom 9002PRO.For long-term reliability and optirnum performance, please read this manual carefully before use. Major Features Hard ware Analog and digital circuitry Besides advanced digital signal processing, special analog circuitry is used for distortion and compression effects which are so important to electric guitar sound.
Software Effects T h e effect chain has six stages: Compressor, Distortion, Equalizer, Modulation group, Delay, Reverb group. Special effects (SFX) can also be selected. Easy operation Sliding faders make adjusting parameter values quick and easy, with a familiar "analog" feel that is rare in digital equipment. Preset banks and user banks 9002PRO has ten "user" memory banks and ten pre-programmed factory "preset" memory banks. Each bank holds four patches.
Precautions Power supply To avoid the possibility of damagrt, do not use any AC adaptor other than the supplied AC adaptor. Be sure to use only the supplied rechargeable battery or specified equivalent. To recharge, plug the supplied AC adaptor into the .4C adaptor jack. Or use the specified optional recharger. The use of other rechargers is dangerous because they may cause battery leakage or other damage. The supplied batlery is rated at 400 charge cycles before needing replacement.
Controls and Display Controls POWER switch AC adaptor jack REMOTE jack For connection of separately sold remote controller(9002R, 9002F. FC02) INPUT jack (mono) For guitar cord. GAIN switch Set to H for single coil pickup guitars. Set to L for guitars that have humbucking or active pickups. MIX IN jack (stereo] Connect tape player or other music source to this jack. You can then play along on guitar. (Effects do not affect this signal.

Built-in amp simulator prevents "thin" no-amp sound. jacks Two sets of stereo headphones can be connected for private listening or jamming with a friend. (8) PHONES ( 9 ) VOLUME control Adjusts total output signal volume.

Effect marks Dots indicate individual effects in use, A flashing dot indicates the effect being edited.
Connection Examples The 9002PRO has stereo output so you can connect the left and right channels separately to two amplifiers. This increases the spaciousness of the stereo - Right channel Guitar a m p 1N u OUT Left channel Guitar a m p 9002PRO Guitar * CVhite i:nd of supplied cable goes to left channel, red to right. You can connect a CD player or tape player to the MIX input, and play along while listening on amp/headphones. The MIX input sound can not be effected by the effects.
Effects and Parameters Guitar a m p effects Use DEPTH (range of 0-12) parameter to adjust sustain level. Sustains notes without adding distortion. A clean sound that keeps the signal level consistent. This provides studio quality analog compression effects. Use DEPTH (0-12) parameter to adjust the amount of distortion. The PATTERN(1 or 2) switches guitar amp simulator on/off(l;off, 2;on). To use amp simulator without distortion, t u n on DIST and set DEPTH at 0.
Modulation effects MODULATION GROUP (PITC, PI-lA , F'LA , CHO) One from this group can be used ut a time (but not 1,i'ith S F X ) . Use PITCH (-12-0-+12 range) to shift pitch in semitone steps up to one octave higher or lower. Use FINE (-10-0-+90) for fine atljustment above or below PITCH setting. Use BALANCE (0-10) to adjust between shifted and direct sound. This is used for harmonies, doubling, and thickening effects. First adjust PITCH. then FINE.
Delay effects DELI Delay 1 Use DECAY (0-10) to adjust the number of cchoes (0 is single). Use TIME (1-100) to adjust the delay time from 1/100 of a second to 1 second in ten millisecond increments. Use BALANCE (0-10) to adjust balance between direct (01and delay (10). This is used for echo effects. REVERB GROUP (DEL2, REV1, REG'2) Onefrom this group can be used at a time. DELZ Delay 2 Use DECAY (0-10) to adjust the number of repeats. (For mono output.
Special effects SFX lJse PATTERN ( 1 . 2 . 3 ) to select STEP, CRY, or METALLIC effects. P A TTEIIN 1 :STEP Use DEPTH (0-10) to adjust a ~ n o ~of~ nlodulation. nt Use FREQ (0-50) to acliust ~nodulationspccd.

User Programs and Preset Programs About the banks Each factory preset bank offers a choice of four "patches." Each patch is a chain of effects specially prepared to create a specific sound or effect for live performance or recording, For example, one of the preset bank patches creates an instantly recognizable heavy metal sound. Another sounds just right for good old '50s rock and roll. A patch may contain u p to six effects, in a "chain" like this: COMP - DIST - EQ- PlTC (etc.)- DELI- REV 1 (etc.
Operation Basic operation Turn on POWER switch. The B A N K part of the display will show l J S E R 0 , and the PATCli LED 1 will light. The Parameter Value display area will show the output level This means that the currently selected patch is the first (of four) patches in user bank 0. Call your desired bank and patch. Use the B A N K keys (UP and DOWN) to select your desired bank. Use the PATCH keys ( 1 through 4 ) to choose a patch within the bank. As an example, let's select preset 1 , patch 2.
( I )Press either of the BANK kegs several times and notice how the BANK part of the display indicates each of the USER (0-9) and PRESET (0-9) banks. Try selting it to PRESET 1. The bank number will flash. (2) Nexi, select your desired patch number by pressing one of the four PATCH keys (located below the BANK keys). Press the PATCH 2 key so that its LED lights. The bank number will stop flashing. You have now selected preset bank 1 , patch 2. Editing Each patch is a chain of individual effects.
Let's try editing the DELI effect in our previously selected patch (preset 1, patch 1). (1)IJse the CURSOR keys to move the flashing offect mark to DELI. Parameter namt:s DECAY, TIME: and BALANCE will appear on the display. ( 2 ) Of tho Ihrot! names, DECAY is flashing. I-Iowever, l(?l'sadjust the TIME pararnetcr first. Gradually raise or lower the position o f t h e control over the TIME indication \ I ntil TlME starts flashing. (Or press the CANCEL key to move to the n e s t adjusta1)le parameter.
(4) Next, move the control above the BALANCE parameter name. Slide it all the way down to get the direct sound only. At the top position you get just the delay sound. (5) Finally. adjust the control above the DECAY parameter name. This sets the amount of feedback (number of repeats or echoes). At the bottom position you hear a single repeat. At the top position you get the maximum number of repeats. (6) Now, use the CURSOR keys to select other effects, and adjust them in the same way.
output level of the selected patch. This may be necessary to compensatc: for changes in total outpul level rtsulting from your parameter settings. This gives you control over changes in output level that may occur whcn vou switch patches tvhile performing. (1)Use the CURSOR keys to move the effect mark all the way to the right of SFX or to the left of'COMP. The bars undcr the PEAKIBALANCEIPATTERN display section ~ v i l show l output level, as will the readout.
Other Functions Tuning mode Press the TUNE key once ancl the tuning fork mark will appear on the display. The 9002PRO will emit a pitch of 440Hz. Tune your A string to this pitch. If you want a slightly higher reference pitch, use the CURSOR keys to change to 441 Hz or 442Hz. In the tuning mode all effects turn off and parameter names and indications are not displayed. To return to normal use.
