Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the 504 II.

Features

The 504 II is a sophisticated multi effect processor for acoustic or electric guitar with the following features and functions:

• Rich effect palette for acoustic guitar

The 504 II incorporates a wealth of effects specially designed for use with

an acoustic guitar. De-AMP reduces harshness when playing an acoustic

guitar through a guitar amplifier. AIR lends a spacious feeling to the

sound. TOUCH makes picking more uniform and smooth. The 504 II is

also useful as a preamplifier for recording acoustic or electric guitar, and it

offers various patches tuned specially for electric guitar.

• Great for electric guitar too
Features
About power

Warning • Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we recommend the use of an

AC adapter whenever possible. When powering the unit from a battery, use only an alkaline type.

•If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery compartment and the battery terminals carefully to remove all remnants of battery fluid.

•While using the unit, the battery compartment cover should be closed.

The built-in simulator transforms the sound of an electric guitar into that of

an acoustic instrument. During a live performance, this makes it a snap to

switch between different sound characteristics.

• Highly effective feedback suppressor

The F.B.SUPPRESSOR function automatically detects the frequencies

AC adapter operation

•Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 V DC, 300 mA and is equipped with a "center minus" plug (Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter other than the specified type may damage the unit and pose a safety hazard.

•Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies the rated voltage required by the adapter.

•When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet, always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull at the cable.

•If the unit is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet.

Battery operation

•Use four IEC R6 (size AA) 1.5 V batteries (alkaline/manganese).

•The 504 II cannot be used for recharging. Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure you choose the correct type.

•If the 504 II is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery from the unit.

Environment

Caution Avoid using your 504 II in environments where it will be exposed to:

•Extreme temperature

•High humidity or moisture

•Excessive dust or sand

•Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

Caution • The 504 II is a precision instrument. Except for the foot switches, do not

push other parts with your feet or subject them to strong force.

•Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or liquids can enter the unit.

•Be sure to turn the power to all equipment off before making connections.

•Before moving the unit, turn the power off, and disconnect all cables and the AC adapter.

Alterations

Caution Never open the case of the 504 II or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

where feedback (howling) occurs and attenuates that band. Operation can

be controlled easily with a foot switch.

• Built-in auto-chromatic tuner

The integrated tuning function lets you quickly and precisely tune your

instrument on stage.

• Dual power supply enables operation anywhere

The dual power supply principle allows the unit to be powered either from

an AC adapter or from four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries. Continuous

operation time on batteries is 8 hours with manganese batteries and 28

hours with alkaline batteries.

• Compatible with foot switch and pedals

An optional foot switch (FS01) or expression pedal (FP01/FP02) can be

connected to the CONTROL IN jack. The foot switch is useful for quickly

detecting the feedback frequency, and the expression pedal allows

adjusting the volume or effect tone in real time.

• Improved successor to 504

While inheriting the sound characteristics of the very successful ZOOM

model 504, the 504 II is even more compact and carries a lower price tag.

What's more, it incorporates the world's first wah effect specifically

designed for acoustic guitar, plus several other novel effects such as the

EMPHASIZER which duplicates the characteristic sound of a resonator.
