Zoom FP02M expression pedal

Product Information

The pedal is compatible with Zoom Guitar Lab, as well as the Handy Guitar Lab iOS app. Get access to a host of killer tones, deep parameter editing, and more. Wireless control is possible via a separately available BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter. The contents of this document and the specifications of the product could be changed without notice. The B6 is very much larger and very much more capable than the B3 and its successor, the B3n. For a start, where the B3n offers a total of 67 individual ‘stompbox’‑style effects or amp models (each one of course separately configurable), the B6 offers around 115. And whereas the B3n enabled each patch to be built from a chain of up to three effects, the B6 accommodates six. But that’s just the beginning of the B6 story; there’s much more to it than just effects count and patch chain length. Probably the easiest way to begin to explain all there is to play with (and there is a lot) is to describe its physical format, so that’s what I’ll do.

By using an SD card, the recording time can be lengthened and phrases can be saved. An SD card also enables use of other audio files as loops. Preselect Maximum output level: Line ＋11.4 dBu (when 10 kΩ or more output impedance)/Phones 24 mW ＋ 24 mW (32 Ω load) With 6 stomp switches and an expression/volume pedal, you'll be able to change effects on the fly as you would with an analog pedalboard. Effects Board mode is also where you begin to configure and fine‑tune patches. This can be done by creating them from scratch or copying and modifying a preconfigured patch, but either way, it’s where all the fun starts. The B6 offers a total of 119 effects, each with an individual set of parameter controls, across 13 categories. The categories, followed by the number of effects in each are: Filter (13), Drive (13), Preamp (13), Bass Amp (11), Bass Cab (12), Modulation (17), SFX (7), Delay (7), Reverb (8), Pedal (6), Send/Return (3), and Impulse Response (1). Most of the categories are self‑explanatory, but those that perhaps aren’t work as follows... Now tap on one of the effects slots and the main effects menu will open. Tap on one of the effect categories, followed by the desired effect, and then tap OK. Returning to the Effects Board screen will display the chosen effect located in the appropriate position. If you want more than one effect (which you almost certainly will) in a patch, adding more is simply a case of repeating the Change/Amp Effect stage — but there is a catch, which I’ve discussed in the ‘Load Limits’ box.And finally, with a patch built you can swipe down to the settings menus to rename and save it (although the default behaviour of the B6 is actually to auto‑save patches). You can also assign four effects in a patch to a specific front‑edge footswitch, although if you find yourself in a situation where individual effects need bypassing or enabling during a performance, building a separate patch is probably more sensible. And speaking of loop time, the B6 can accommodate up to 90 seconds in mono and 45 seconds in stereo (while instrument inputs to the B6 are of course mono, the aux input and some effects generate a stereo output). Loops can be positioned in the signal chain either before or after the B6 patch currently selected when Looper mode is engaged. New phrases can be overdubbed on existing loops, and effects patches can be changed while an existing loop is playing — both of which features potentially inspire quite mind‑boggling creative possibilities. And along with the combination of loops and effect patches, the B6 also enables its stored rhythm patterns to be played‑in. The last of the four ‘hard’ switches, the one to the right of the touchscreen, actually has two functions. Firstly, if a looper or rhythm generator (more of both later) tempo is required, repeatedly tapping the switch defines said temo. Secondly, if you press and hold the switch, a big, bold and wonderfully clear tuner display appears on the B6 screen. Engaging the tuner also usefully mutes the B6 output. I found the tuner easy to use and reassuringly stable. It tunes chromatically to 440Hz by default, but other options can be configured if required.

It's a volume pedal, a Wah pedal and a pitch bender, all in one. Plug the FP02M into your Zoom guitar or bass effects device to add real-time control over volume, Wah or pitch, as well as effects parameters such as modulation rate, distortion gain, and delay or reverb level. Rugged enough for the road, the FP02M sports an all-metal chassis and comes with a ¼" to ¼" connection cable. You can use the G6 as a 2-in / 2-out interface, so you can record killer tones right to your favorite DAW. The G6 has room for 240 patches including 100 presets, so you can build patches for each song in your repertoire and easily cycle through your setlist. Create patches of up to nine effects or seven effects plus emulation. The four Effect footswitches along the bottom of the unit change their function according to the current Play Mode. Here, in Effect Board mode, the lower four footswitches engage and bypass four of the current patch’s six stompbox models.

The G6 provides 70 preloaded, full-spectrum impulse responses of cabinets, which is quite useful if you're routing your sound directly into a house PA. These impulse responses were captured by placing the microphone in three different positions. Each cabinet has a recording where the mic was placed 1"" away, 12"" away, and deeper out into the room. The available effect types include various bass effects and amp/cabinet simulation models. Effects can be selected from these types to be added to patch memories. Category The G6 delivers the ultimate collection of Zoom's legendary guitar effects and tones, including brand new Distortion and Modulation effects. New distortion effects include Wave Shaper and Razor Drive. Polyshift is on hand for two-octave modulation, as is a doubling effect called Geminos. Chain up to 9 effects, or 7 effects with amp emulation.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. You might need this manual in the future. Always keep it in a place where you can access it easily. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered In Bank/Patch mode, the function of the four front‑edge footswitches changes. The two on the left select, respectively, the next bank up and down, and the two on the right select the next patch up and down. Keep pressing either patch switch, however, and patch selection will continue into the next bank rather than scrolling around the patches within the bank.

This enables wireless control of the B6 from an iPhone/iPad using the iOS/iPadOS Handy Guitar Lab for B6 app. USB (Micro-B) port Connecting a computer makes the following possible. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty

Patch memories store effects and amps used, effect on/off states and parameter setting values, allowing easy recall. Effects are saved and recalled in units of patch memories. Up to 9 effects can be added to a patch memory, and up to 240 patch memories can be stored. Bank The G6 provides a total of 22 cabinet emulations of all modeling amps. Plenty of classic amplifier sounds are included, and you can use them with or without included IR cab responses.
