ZOOM FIRE-36

This section explains how to operate the panel controls and how to use patches and other functions

of the FIRE-36.

Verify that the [MASTER] knob is turned fully anticlockwise. Then turn the [POWER]

switch on. Set the [GAIN]/[BASS]/[MIDDLE]/[TREBLE]/[LEVEL] knobs to the center

position.

Immediately after turning on the power, the manual mode is selected ([MANUAL] key is lit).

Use the [DRIVE TYPE] knob and the [VARIATION] key to select the drive type and

variation.

Ampliﬁer characteristics and distortion depth will differ, depending on the selected drive type. To

create your sound in manual mode, ﬁrst use the [DRIVE TYPE] knob to select the drive type, and

then choose the variation (standard/vintage) with the [VARIATION] key.

(For information on available drive types, see page 18.)

Raise the [MASTER] knob to a suitable position, and adjust the distortion depth and

volume with the [GAIN] knob and [LEVEL] knob while playing your guitar.

Normally, you will use the [GAIN] knob to adjust distortion depth and the [LEVEL] knob to

adjust the level for a particular patch. The [MASTER] knob controls the overall volume, common

to all patches.

Use the [BASS]/[MIDDLE]/[TREBLE] knobs to adjust the tone.

You can also use the [BOOST], [SUSTAIN], [EDGE], and [BOTTOM] keys to increase the sound

pressure, prolong sustain, and emphasize the high or low frequency range.

To change the ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) setting, press the [ZNR] key.

The LED of the key ﬂashes, and the current setting (Z1 - Z9, oF) is shown for about 2 seconds on

the display. Use the [Q

]/[W

] keys to select the new setting. To switch ZNR on or off, press the

[ZNR] key once more. Higher setting values result in more effective noise reduction. Set the value

as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off abruptly.

To turn the unit off, turn the [MASTER] knob all the way down and then turn off the

[POWER] switch.
