This unit is in well used shape, with plenty of cosmetic signs of wear and tear around the chassis. It functions without issue, but does not come with the original box.
● Versatile array of effects
The Variable Architecture Modeling System
(VAMS) developed by ZOOM adapts the internal
configuration of the unit to achieve exactly the
desired sound. The GFX-5 provides 74 choices,
ranging from distortion and modulation effects to
booster functions and a cabinet simulator that
duplicates the sound of various guitar amps.
● Full complement of distortion effects
33 distortion type effects not only recreate the
characteristics of famous vintage amps but also
duplicate the sound and operation of renowned
compact effects and pedals. The [TURBO] key lets
you boost the sound pressure in an instant, and the
[EDGE] key creates a bright treble edge. A wide
variety of drive sounds are only a keypress away.
● 120 ready-to-use patches
Effect module setting combinations can be stored as
patches. The GFX-5 offers 60 user patches which
can be freely modified, plus 60 preset patches.
Together, these 120 settings let you make great
music straight away.
● Intuitive operation and key layout
The knobs and keys on the panel of the unit are
designed for maximum usability. Choose distortion
types or adjust equalizer settings in a flash. The
expression pedal is great for controlling effect
parameters in real time. The GFX-5 practically
comes alive during a performance.
● Newly developed ARRM feature
ARRM (Auto-Repeat Real-time Modulation) is a
fascinating concept. Using built-in control
waveforms, it lets you rhythmically shape the signal
in many ways. Create totally novel sounds that will
captivate listeners. You can even use the expression
pedal to adjust the modulation depth of the ARRM
feature.
● Integrated drum machine
60 built-in rhythm patterns using natural-sounding
PCM sources are available, which is great for
practice or a quick jam session. ARRM cycles can
be synchronized to the rhythm tempo, letting you
alter effects in sync with the flow of the music. The
creative possibilities are limitless.
● 6-second sampling feature
A guitar phrase or the signal from an input source
such as a CD player can be sampled for up to 6
seconds and stored in the internal memory. The
recorded sample can be played back at a slower
speed without altering the pitch. This is a great tool
for enhancing a live performance or for copying a
lick or fast-playing phrase.
● Energize creates dynamic sound
The Energize is another innovation with immense
appeal. Simply by turning a knob, you can optimize
the sound characteristics to match the playback
system. Enjoy powerful, dynamic sound even with a
small guitar amp or an audio system with flat
response.
● Designed for use on stage
The GFX-5 can be powered either from an AC
adapter or from batteries. With one set of alkaline
batteries, the unit will operate continuously for up
to 10 hours. A special mode lets you switch major
effects on or off with your foot or specify the
rhythm tempo during a performance. Operate the
unit like compact effects, while accessing a vast
array of functions.
