equipment could result.

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure

hazard-free use of the 505.

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.

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 only a 9 V (alkaline) battery (6LR61).

• The 505 cannot be used for recharging.

Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure

you choose the correct type.

• If the 505 is not to be used for an extended period of time,

remove the battery from the unit.

• 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.

Environment

Caution

Avoid using your 505 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 505 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 505 or attempt to modify the

product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

Usage precautions

Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the 505 has been designed to provide

maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic

radiation from inside the device, and from external

interference.However, equipment that is very susceptible to

interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves

should not be placed near the 505, as the possibility of

interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

Whatever the type of digital control device, the 505 included,

electromagnetic damage can cause malfunctioning, and can

corrupt or destroy data. Since this is an ever-present danger,

thorough care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 505. If necessary, slightly

moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or

solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these

may dull the finish or damage the surface.

Connecting cables and input and output jacks

You should always turn off the power to the 505 and all other

equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also

make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before

moving the 505.

What Are Banks and Patches?

3

• PATCH

A combination of several effects, each with individual parameter settings is called a «patch». The

505 comes with 24 preset patches which can be changed (edited) by the user.

• BANK

The 505 calls up patches in sets of four, called a «bank».

As shown in the illustration below, the 505 can be thought to contain seven «effect modules» which are

internally connected. In most effect modules, only one effect may be active at any given time, but the COMP

Controls and Functions

6

Top Panel

TUNER indicator

In the Bypass (Mute)/Tuner mode, this indicator shows that the tuner is

active, and it serves as a gauge for fine tuning your instrument.

• Battery empty warning

When the unit is powered from the battery, this indicator begins to flash

when the battery is exhausted.

STORE key

Serves to initiate and execute the store function for patches.

• Direct Load function

When the key is held down for at least 1 second in the Play mode, the

Direct Load function is turned on or off.

EDIT key

This key serves to toggle between the Play mode (where effects are used

for playing the instrument) and Edit mode (where the user can freely

change patch settings). The Edit mode is also used to select effect

parameters.

When the key is pressed while a Delay/Reverb effect parameter is

selected, the unit switches back to Play mode.

• Bank Hold function

When the key is held down for at least 1 second in Play mode, the Bank

Hold function is turned on or off.

Rear Panel

INPUT jack

Serves for connection of the guitar.

When the unit is powered from the battery, this jack also functions as

on/off switch. Plugging a shielded cable into the jack turns the 505 on.

When not using the unit, the cable should be disconnected to prevent

battery drain.

DC IN jack

Serves for connection of an AC adapter (Zoom AD-0006) which

delivers 9 V DC, 300 mA with a «center minus» plug configuration.

When the AC adapter is connected to this jack, the 505 is turned on.

OUTPUT jack

The output signal of the 505 appears at this jack.

You can connect either a single guitar amplifier, using a monaural

shielded cable, or two guitar amplifiers, using a Y-type stereo shielded

cable, or a pair of stereo headphones. If the volume level is low when

using headphones, increase the patch level or master level, or use

headphones with low impedance (32 ohms or less).

CONTROL IN jack

When the optional expression pedal FP01 is connected to this jack, it

can serve as volume pedal or be used for pedal wah and pedal pitch.

When the optional foot switch FS01 is connected, it can serve for

bank UP switching.
