2. Configuració

To set up your Zoom FS01 Expression Pedal, follow these steps:

2. Connecteu el pedal: Insert a standard 1/4-inch (6.35mm) TS instrument cable (not included, unless specified by your device's manual) into the output jack of the FS01 pedal.
3. Connecta't al dispositiu: Connect the other end of the 1/4-inch cable to the control input jack on your effects unit. Some devices may require a specific type of cable (e.g., a TRS cable for expression functions, but for a momentary switch, TS is typical). The FS01 is a simple momentary switch, so a standard TS cable is usually sufficient.
4. Configure Your Device: Refer to the instruction manual of your Zoom effects processor (e.g., Zoom G2.NU, G21.NU, V3) to configure the specific function you wish to assign to the FS01 footswitch. This typically involves navigating through the device's settings to assign the external footswitch to a desired parameter (e.g., patch change, effect on/off, tap tempo, looper control).

Ensure all connections are secure before powering on your equipment.

3. Operating the FS01

The Zoom FS01 functions as a momentary switch, meaning it sends a signal only while the pedal is pressed down. When released, the signal stops. The specific action performed by the FS01 depends entirely on how it is configured within your connected Zoom effects unit or other compatible device.
