Thank you for selecting the ZOOM PLAYER 2100 (called 2100 in this manual). The 2100 is a multi-effects
unit with the following features:
Versatile effects
The 2100 has 33 versatile effects. You can combine up to seven effects. In particular, the 2100
offers thirteen distortion effects (for the DIST module) for discerning guitarists, including
Clean, Distortion, Acoustic simulator, etc. It also features an Amp simulator and ZNR (ZOOM
Noise Reduction).
Abundant preset patches
You can use up to 60 patches, including 30 PRESET patches and 30 USER patches.
32-second Sampler function (Quick guide
➔ See page 12.)
ZOOM has developed a “Sampler” function that allows you to record a phrase up to 32
seconds long from a CD and play back the data at lower speeds. This function also plays data
without changing the pitch at lower speeds and improves tonal quality. You can also record
your own performance as a one-man jam session. This can be of great help in your guitar
education.
Customize/Jam play (Quick guide ➔ See page 8 – 9.)
The 2100 features a [FUNCTION] switch to which you can assign a function. The following
four functions are available :
1.Bank Down mode: Switches to one bank number lower .
2.Manual mode: Switches each effect on and off during performance.
3.Control mode: Enables you to use the RTM function.
4.Jam Play mode: Allows you to use three basic samplers that can be recorded for up to
five seconds simultaneously.
RTM (Real Time Modulation) function (Quick guide ➔ See page 14.)
Connecting an optional foot pedal FP01/FP02 or using the [FUNCTION] switch enables you
to adjust the following parameters in real-time :
1.Volume control
2.COMP/WAH module effects
3.Pedal Pitch Shifter in the MOD module
4.Delay in the MOD module (Sound-on-sound)
Flexible use for performance (Quick guide ➔ See page 5.)
The patches you create at home might sound completely different in the studio at high volume.
Don’t worry. It is easy to correct the sound. You can adjust the gain of the distortion effects,
the reverberation of the reverb effects, and the presence without changing the patch
parameters.
Great support on the stage (Quick guide ➔ See page 7.)
The 2100 has an auto chromatic tuner for guitars, which can be used on stage easily.
Please read this manual carefully so you can understand the functions of your 2100 and to
ensure optimum performance and reliability for an extended period of time.
