Modifies the sound quality depending on 
the guitar or pickup that is used, to fully 
bring out the simulation capabilities of 
the MODEL module (see table 5).
Reduces acoustic feedback by 
attenuating the frequency band where 
the feedback occurs. The frequency can 
be detected automatically or manually. 
For details on how to use the 
FEEDBACK CONTROL function, see 
page 20.
This parameter serves for attenuating 
frequency band that can sound harsh 
when an acoustic guitar is reproduced 
via a guitar amplifier (see table 6). 
Choose the suitable setting depending 
on the amplifier that is used, and adjust 
the value as required.

Designed for use with a magnetic pickup 
having a bright sound. 
 
S1 – S9
 
Designed for use with stack type amplifiers. Higher 
values result in stronger attenuation effect.

Adjust the patch level (
 
 
 p. 9) or master level
(
 
 
 p. 37). When using a pickup with low
output, start the A2.1u in HI-GAIN mode (
 
 
 p.
28). Try ajusting the expression pedal.

 Delay/reverb effect does not work
 
DELAY/REVERB module is inactive while a
rhythm pattern is playing. Stop rhythm
playback (
 
 
 p. 12).
 
 
 No effect processing (when using 
[BALANCED OUT] connector)
 
Check whether the [PRE/POST] switch is set to
"POST" (effect processing enabled).
 
 
 High level of noise
 
Adjust ZNR module. Be sure to use only a
ZOOM AC adapter (ZOOM AD-0006).
 
 
 Hum is heard (when using [BALANCED 
OUT] connector)
 
A ground loop has occurred among connected
devices. Try setting the [GROUND] switch to
"LIFT". This may help to eliminate or reduce
the noise.
