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).
PAGE 3
Glossary This section describes the terminology for the 2100 used in this manual. ■ Effect module ● 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. 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.

Connections Connect the volume-adjustable headphone jack of a sound source, such as a CD player, to the AUX IN jack using a stereo mini plug. The signal input from the AUX IN jack will be mixed with the effected guitar signal and routed to the OUTPUT jack. You can also record input signals from the AUX IN jack on the 2100 using the Sampler function. Use a monaural cable to connect one amplifier to the OUTPUT jack. Use a stereo Y-cable to connect two amplifiers to the OUTPUT jack.

Listening to a patch When you turn on the power to the 2100, it automatically enters Play mode. This section describes the panel display in Play mode and how to select a patch. Panel display in Play mode The display and LEDs on the panel indicate the following information in Play mode: BANK number group. When the dot is turned off, you can use either one of these groups. ● PRESET indicator: This indicator indicates the currently-selected group. When a dot (.

Adjusting the volume level and tonal quality according to the acoustic environment The 2100 features global parameters that enable you to adjust the master level and the degree of distortion applied to all patches on a global scale. Use these parameters to adjust the volume level and tonal quality to suit the characteristics of the instruments, amplifiers, and the acoustic environment. BANK POSITION1.COMP/WAH•DIST 2.

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.

Using the Sampler function The 2100 features a Sampler function that allows you to record and play up to 32 seconds of data. Using this function, you can record your performance or other sound sources, such as a CD player, input from the AUX IN jack, and play back the data. If you also use the Pitch Revision function, you can play the recorded data at slower speed without affecting the pitch. This is useful for practicing phrases from the recording.

Using the RTM function RTM (Real-time Modulation) is a function in which operating the [FUNCTION] switch or an optional foot pedal FP01 or FP02 during performance will change the effect parameter settings and the volume level in real-time. switch, the Sound-on-sound function is turned on and the performance data is added to the delay sound of looping playback. Use the Time (delay time) parameter to set the interval of the looping playback. Assign the Ct (Control) function to the [FUNCTION] switch.
PAGE 17
Effect type and parameters This section explains all available effect types and parameters on the 2100. • Patch parameters have (P) attached to the names. Global parameters have (G) attached to the names. You can change the patch parameter and global parameter settings any time, regardless of the on/off status of the effect modules. • If the parameter name ihcludes (←RTM), it means that the parameter can be RTM controlled if the corresponding effect type has been selected.

■ Type: 6/c6 SLOW ATTACK (slow attack) This effect slows the attack of each tone to simulate a violin technique. If you select “c6,” parameter 2 can be controlled via RTM. ● Parameter 2: Rate (←RTM) This parameter specifies the attack speed. ■ Parameters shared by effect types 1–6 and c1–c6 ● Parameter 3: POSITION (position) This parameter specifies the order of the connection of the COMP/WAH effect module and the DIST effect module. 1: The COMP/WAH effect module is followed by the DIST effect module.

6A (METAL): Produces a contemporary heavy metal sound. 6b (STACK METAL): Produces the powerful sound of a large, fully-driven amplifier. ● Parameter 2: Gain ● Parameter 3: Tone ● Parameter 2: Top This parameter adjusts the high range, emphasizing the string reverberation unique to acoustic guitars. ● Parameter 3: Body This parameter adjusts the low range, emphasizing the reverberations of the guitar body.
PAGE 20
■ Type: 3 FLANGER (flanger) ■ Type: 6 PEDAL-PITCH (pedal pitch shifter) This flanger effect creates a swell with a character, like a jet engine. ● Parameter 2: Depth ● Parameter 3: Rate ● Parameter 4: Mode This parameter sets the pre-delay time and the feedback amount of the flanger effect. Setting a value between “A0” – “A9” makes the pre-delay time short, and setting a value between “b0” – “b9” makes the pre-delay time long. The value on the right specifies the feedback amount.
PAGE 21
■ Type: 1 HALL (hall reverb) This reverb effect simulates reverberation in a concert hall, creating warm acoustics. ● Parameter 2: Time This parameter specifies the delay time in 10msec steps. The setting range is 1 (10msec) through 1.0 (1 sec). ● Parameter 2: Time This parameter specifies the length of reverberation (reverb time). ● Parameter 3: FB This parameter specifies the feedback amount of the delay sound. ● Parameter 3: Tone This parameter adjusts the high range of the effect sound.
PAGE 22
Resetting the 2100 to the factory default condition The All Initialize and Factory Recall modes are special modes used to reset the 2100 to the factory defaults. All Initialize mode reverts all global parameters and patches in the USER group to the factory default settings. Factory Recall mode reverts only particular patches in the USER group to the factory default settings. BANK PATCH POSITION1.COMP/WAH•DIST 2.
