The G9.2tt features a robust metal chassis designed for durability. Key components include:
- Dual Expression Pedals: For volume, wah, pitch, and other real-time parameter control.
- Z-Pedal: A unique 3D expression pedal allowing control over three parameters simultaneously (X, Y, and Z axes).
- Pedals: For patch selection, effect on/off, and tap tempo.
- Perilles de control: Dedicated knobs for various effect parameters and ampConfiguració del lifier.
- Pantalla LCD: Provides visual feedback for patch names, parameter values, and system settings.
- Tube Accelerators/Energizers: Integrated vacuum tubes for adding warmth and harmonic richness to your tone.
Configuració
1. Desembalatge i inspecció
Carefully remove the Zoom G9.2tt from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Connexió d'alimentació
Connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the G9.2tt. Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC power outlet. Ensure the power source matches the voltage requirements specified on the adapter (9 Volts).
3. Connexions d'àudio
The G9.2tt offers various input and output options:
- Entrada de guitarra: Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Sortida a Amplifier/PA: Connect the L/MONO and R OUTPUT jacks to your guitar amplifier, mixer, or PA system using 1/4-inch cables. For mono operation, use only the L/MONO jack.
- Sortida d'auriculars: For silent practice, connect headphones to the PHONES jack.
- External Loop: The unit includes an external effects loop (SEND/RETURN jacks) for integrating external pedals into your signal chain.
4. Connexió USB (opcional)
Connect the G9.2tt to your computer via the USB port for direct recording, patch management, and firmware updates. Ensure you have the necessary drivers installed on your computer, available from the Zoom weblloc.
Instruccions de funcionament
1. Encès i apagat
To power on the unit, ensure all connections are secure, then plug in the AC adapter. There is no dedicated power switch; the unit powers on automatically when connected to power. To power off, disconnect the AC adapter.
2. Patch Selection
The G9.2tt organizes sounds into "patches." There are 100 user patches and 100 preset patches, totaling 200. Patches are grouped into banks. Use the BANK UP/DOWN footswitches to navigate between banks. Within each bank, use the numbered footswitches (1-5) to select individual patches.
3. Editing Patches
To edit a patch, select it, then use the various knobs and the LCD display to adjust parameters for effects, amplifier models, and cabinet simulations. The unit features 10 effect modules and 120 effect types. Up to 10 effects can be used simultaneously. Refer to the detailed parameter list in the full manual for specific adjustments.
- Desar els pedaços: After editing, press the "STORE" button (or equivalent, as indicated by the LED) to save your changes to a user patch location.
- Tube Controls: The "ACCELERATOR" and "ENERGIZER" tube controls (physical knobs) are global and affect the overall voicing. Note that their settings are no stored per patch and must be adjusted manually for different guitars, amps, or room acoustics.
4. Using the Z-Pedal
The Z-Pedal is a multi-dimensional expression pedal. It allows control over parameters not just by rocking forward and back (X-axis), but also by moving it left/right (Y-axis) and pressing down (Z-axis). Assign desired parameters to each axis within the patch editing mode for dynamic real-time control.
5. Funcionalitat de bypass
The G9.2tt does not feature a true bypass. When the digital effects processor is bypassed, the signal still passes through analog components, including the solid-state preamp and tube exciters. This means the unit will always impart some coloration to your sound, even in "bypass" mode. This characteristic can be beneficial for solid-state amplifiers but may affect the clean tone of tube ampaixecadors.
Manteniment
1. Neteja
Wipe the unit regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents, as these can damage the finish and internal components.
2. Emmagatzematge
When not in use for extended periods, store the G9.2tt in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If possible, use the original packaging or a dedicated carrying case to protect it from dust and physical damage.
3. Atenció general
- Eviteu vessar líquids sobre la unitat.
- No col·loqueu objectes pesats a sobre de la unitat.
- Protect the unit from excessive vibrations or impacts.
- Assegureu-vos que hi hagi una ventilació adequada al voltant de la unitat durant el funcionament.
Resolució de problemes
If you encounter issues with your Zoom G9.2tt, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Sense so o amb un volum baix. | Incorrect cable connections; volume levels too low; patch settings. | Check all input/output cables. Ensure guitar volume is up. Adjust master volume on the G9.2tt and your amplifier. Verify patch volume levels. |
| Soroll o brunzit no desitjat. | Ground loop; faulty cables; high gain settings; external interference. | Use shielded cables. Try a different power outlet. Reduce gain settings on the G9.2tt. Utilize the built-in ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction) function. |
| Footswitch or button unresponsive. | Debris under switch; internal contact issue. | Gently clean around the switch. If persistent, contact customer support for service. |
| Difficulty achieving desired tone with tube controls. | Misunderstanding of global nature of tube controls. | Remember that ACCELERATOR and ENERGIZER settings are global and not saved per patch. Adjust them manually to suit your current setup (guitar, amp, room). |
| Sound is "muddy" or lacks clarity with tube amp. | Unit's bypass coloring the signal. | The G9.2tt does not have a true bypass. Its analog components (preamp, tube exciters) are always in the signal path. Experiment with different output modes or consider using the unit primarily with solid-state amps if a completely uncolored signal is critical for your tube amp's clean tone. |
