POWER switch

 

Serves to turn the 1204 on and off.

(2)

MIC IN jack

 

A microphone can be connected to this jack. Normally, the signal from this

 

jack is mixed with the rear input. When using the Vocoder effect, the signal

 

from the microphone input becomes the effect envelope signal. If you wish to

 

use a microphone other than offered by Zoom, choose a dynamic microphone

 

with an impedance of 600 ohms.

(3)

INPUT level control

 

Adjusts the level of the input signal from an instrument or other program

 

source.

PEAK indicator

(9)EDIT1 control

(10)EDIT2 control

With these controls, the user can adjust the parameters of the currently selected effect. The types of parameters which can be adjusted depends on the effect.

(11)EQ LOW gain control

(12)EQ HIGH gain control

These controls adjust the low-frequency range and high- frequency range of the effect sound. In the center position, frequency response is flat. Turning the control to the left (counterclockwise) attenuates the respective frequency range and turning the control to the right (clockwise) emphasizes it.

(13)MIX LEVEL control

(18)Display

Shows memory numbers and various other information for operating the 1204.

(19)▲▼ (value up/down) keys

Serve for selecting memory numbers and changing the setting of parameters.

Pressing the (value up) key once increases the number by one count and pressing the (value down) key decreases the number by one count.

(20)Category indicators

The effects of the 1204 are divided into several categories. These indicators show to which category an effect belongs.

(21) STORE key

If the input signal exceeds the peak level, this indicator lights up.

(5) OUTPUT level control

Adjusts the output signal level.

This control adjusts the balance between DRY (original) and WET (effect) sound. If the control is turned fully to the left (counterclockwise), only the original sound is output. If the control is turned fully to the right (clockwise), only the effect sound is output.

When an effect was edited in manual mode or memory mode, the changed parameters can be stored in memory by pressing this key.
