Clean sound with a fat character When the clean tone of the amplifier lacks a bit of body, the PD-01 can provide improvement with very moderate settings. The GAIN setting is the key. When set to a point where distortion is barely noticeable, the sound will have more body and punch. Unlike with conventional overdrive effects, you can create a sharp, fat sound. Booster sample 1: clean & crunch This is a special way to use the PD-01. Set GAIN to zero and raise the level to get great booster perform

PD-01 and Multi-Effects This section shows how to use the PD-01 together with multi-effect devices such as the GFX-4. Creating drive sound with PD-01 only When using a multi-effect device with the PD-01, the PD-01 should be connected before the other device. For distortion sound, create the distortion with the PD-01 only. Using send/return loop of multi-effect When using a multi-effect device such as the GFX-8 with send/return jacks, the PD-01 can be used as if it were a part of the other devi

Troubleshooting If there seems to be a problem with the unit, check the following points first. No sound. Are connections to the IN and OUT jacks reversed? Check the connections. Is a battery inserted? If there is no battery in the unit and the AC adapter is not used, there will be no sound. Insert a fresh battery, or connect the AC adapter. Is the guitar or amplifier volume or the LEVEL control of the PD-01 turned down? Raise the volume. Are there any problems with other effect devices or with

Battery gets used up very quickly. Power to the PD-01 gets turned on when a plug is inserted in the IN jack. In this condition, current is drawn from the battery regardless of whether the effect is switched on or off. When not using the unit, be sure to disconnect the plug from the IN jack. Also, the use of alkaline battery rather than manganese is recommended. Connecting the AC adapter (ZOOM AD-0006) allows extended use without having to worry about the battery.

Usage Precautions Electrical interference The PD-01 has been designed to minimize emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and to minimize susceptibility to external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic radiation should not be placed near the PD-01, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely. If such problems occur, move the PD-01 further away from the affected equipment. Clean
