When connecting to the guitar input on the front panel of a guitar amplifier, set the switch to "-10 dBm". Use mono cables for connection to guitar amplifiers. When using only one guitar amplifier, use the OUTPUT L/MONO jack.
Quick Guide 1 (Play Mode/Manual Mode Operation) Quick Guide 1 (Play Mode/Manual Mode Operation) Pre-amp operation This section explains various basic steps, allowing you to use the G7.1ut right away. The pre-amp section allows you to adjust distortion type, intensity, and EQ for two channels (A/B) separately. Selecting a patch (play mode) Immediately after power-on, the unit will be in play mode, which is for playing your instrument while selecting patches. 1.
Quick Guide 2 (Edit Mode/Store Mode Operation) Quick Guide 2 (Edit Mode/Store Mode Operation) This section explains how to edit a selected patch and how to store the changes you have made. Storing a patch (store mode) 1. In play mode, manual mode, or edit mode, press the [STORE/SWAP] key. [Display in store mode] Editing a patch (edit mode) Store target group name/bank number 1. Press the effect module key for the module to edit. U0 The unit switches to edit mode.
Selecting Patches for Playing (Play Mode) Selecting Patches for Playing (Play Mode) HINT Immediately after you turn on the G7.1ut, it is always in the mode for selecting and using patches (play mode). The most recently used patch is automatically called up again. The various operation steps in play mode are described in this section. In play mode, the following information is shown on the panel.
Selecting Patches for Playing (Play Mode) • The lit [STORE/SWAP] key indicates that one or more items (including items not currently displayed) have been changed from the contents of the original patch. If all items are returned to their original settings, the key will go out. The patch level is a parameter that controls the output level of the respective patch. The setting range is 2 – 100. A setting of 80 results in unity gain (no level increase or decrease). NOTE 4.
Switching Modules On and Off With Your Foot During Play (Manual Mode) Switching Modules On and Off With Your Foot During Play (Manual Mode) module. 1. In play mode, select a patch. 2. Press and hold the BANK [W] foot switch for at least 1 second. Hold down for 1 second or more The LED of the BANK [W] foot switch lights up and the G7.1ut switches to manual mode. Shows the number of the parameter knob that controls the patch level. Patch level Shows the output level of the currently selected patch.
Using the Internal Tuner (Bypass/Mute Condition) Using the Internal Tuner (Bypass/Mute Condition) The G7.1ut incorporates a tuner function that supports regular chromatic tuning as well as special tuning. This section explains the steps for using the tuner. E Note Using the chromatic tuner 1. In play mode, manual mode, or edit mode, press and hold the BANK [Q] foot switch. Release switch when "MUTE" is shown After "BYPASS" or "MUTE" was shown, the display automatically switches to the tuning display.
Using the Internal Tuner (Bypass/Mute Condition) setting "b" (one semitone lower), "bb" (two semitones lower), and "bbb" (three semitones lower). Using other tuner types Besides chromatic tuning, the G7.1ut offers various other tuning types such as standard tuning for guitar and bass, open tuning, etc. To use these functions, proceed as follows. Changing the Sound of a Patch (Edit Mode) The condition where you can change the effect types and settings that make up a patch is called "edit mode".
Changing the Sound of a Patch (Edit Mode) Changing the Sound of a Patch (Edit Mode) the knobs and keys are listed in Figure 1 below. Effect module keys MOD:Chorus ¡Depth = 80 é [COMP] key [ZNR] key [WAH/EFX1] key [EQ] key [PRE-AMP] key • The effect module keys for modules that are ON in the currently selected patch are lit in red (keys for modules that are OFF are not lit). When you press a key to select a module, the key color changes to orange (or to green if the module is off).

Storing Patches and Banks (Store Mode) 5. Use parameter knob 1 or the foot switches 1 – 4 to select the store/ swap target patch number. or Foot switches 1 - 4 6. Press the [STORE/SWAP] key once more. The store/swap process is carried out, and the G7.1ut then returns to the play mode or manual mode with the store/swap target patch being selected. By pressing the [EXIT] key instead of the [STORE/SWAP] key, you can cancel the process and return to the previous mode.
Using the Expression Pedal Using the Expression Pedal This section explains how to use the built-in and an external expression pedal. About the built-in expression pedal The G7.1ut has an integrated expression pedal that can be used to control specific effect parameters in real time. The pedal has four control targets (PDL1 – PDL4), which makes it possible to adjust up to four parameters simultaneously. A setting example is shown below, to give you an idea of how the pedal can be used.
Using the Expression Pedal 2. NOTE It is also possible to specify the same parameter for more than one control target, but in some cases, extreme parameter value changes may lead to noise. This is not a defect. 8. Using the Expression Pedal With the expression pedal fully raised, press the [STORE/SWAP] key. The display indication changes as follows. Pedal fully raised When all settings for the built-in expression pedal have been made, press the [EXIT] key. PDL Calibration Setting...
Using the Function Foot Switch Using the Function Foot Switch Original sound Delay sound The G7.1ut provides a programmable [FUNCTION] (CH A/B) foot switch on the top panel. You can select one from a range of functions, assign it to the switch, and store the setting for each patch individually. 1. In play mode, select the patch. HINT The [FUNCTION] (CH A/B) foot switch assignment can be set separately for each patch. 2. Press the [TOTAL/FUNCTION] effect module key.
Using the Function Foot Switch 4. To synchronize a parameter to the specified tempo, select the effect type and effect parameter to synchronize, and select the note symbol as the setting value for the parameter. The setting value for effect parameters which support tempo synchronization can be selected in note units, using the patch specific tempo as a reference. For example, the Time parameter of the effect type TAPE ECHO in the MOD/EFX2 module supports patch specific tempo synchronization.

When bypass/mute is set to off, the value 0 of the control change number is sent.
Other Functions Other Functions Parameter value 100 MAX=100 min=0 Using the ARRM function The G7.1ut incorporates an innovative feature called ARRM (Auto-Repeat Real-time Modulation) which uses various internally generated control waveforms to cyclically modify effect parameters. You can select for example a triangular waveform and apply it to the wah frequency as a control target. The resulting effect is shown below.
Other Functions Other Functions When you play your guitar in this condition, the selected effect parameter will be modified cyclically by the internally generated control waveform. NOTE Any changes in ARRM settings will be lost when you select a new patch. Be sure to store the patch if you want to keep the changes (→ p. 27). ■ Sampling frequencies 32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz HINT With each of the operating systems listed above, the G7.
Other Functions 3. About the editor/librarian software LCD 2/26 ¡Contrast:3 Contrast:3 é ZOOM CORPORATION makes an editor/ librarian software application available for download on its web site. To use the software, the computer must have a MIDI interface, and a connection must be established between the MIDI IN/MIDI OUT connectors of the computer and the MIDI OUT/ MIDI IN connectors of the G7.1ut. The software then makes it possible to store patch data of the G7.
Linking Effects Using the Amp Select Function The G7.1ut incorporates an Amp Select function that optimizes the frequency response to match a the type of amplifier in use. When starting to use the G7.1ut or when changing the guitar amp, you should choose a suitable Amp Select setting as described below. NOTE The Amp Select feature is disabled for patches where the CABINET module is set to on.

G7.1ut Modeling Description Fender Twin Reverb '65 EFFECT TYPE : FD Clean In the later half of 1963, a reverb unit was added to the “Twin” amp, which was the birth of the “Twin Reverb” model. In 1965, Fender company was sold to CBS because of Leo Fender’s health problem. The program on this Zoom G series is modeled after the pre-CBS “Twin Reverb” from 1965 aka “Black Panel”.
G7.1ut Modeling Description BOSS OD-1 EFFECT TYPE : OverDrive The “OD-1” released by BOSS in 1977 was originally developed for the simulation of the natural overdrive sound of tube amplifiers, but this stomp box turned out to be popular as the booster unit to connect to the input of the real tube amplifier to get tighter and more punchy sound with the increased gain.
