Overview This specification describes the method to adjust differences due to characteristics of tubes, 2. ACCELERATOR (Input side) adjustment There are two methods of adjustment. The first is the adjustment that only the ANALOG PCB is used for, and the second is the adjustment carried out after the unit, is assembled. Choose the method which is convenient methods as the case may be 2.1 In the case of adjust only the ANALOG PCB 2.1.1 Measurement system Connect the ANALOG PCB and meastrement equipment as below. © Connect the ANALOG PCB and TUBE-ACC PCB (CNA_ACC-CNB_ACC). © Connect CN7B, CN401A, CN402B. and CNA_ACC_TUBE to the measurement jig with hamesses. © Connect to GUITAR INPUT (J200) on the ANALOG PCB and an analyzer or an oscillator Connect an analyzer to ANALOG PCB and the measurement jig. Don’t connect harnesses which are not described because they are needless and may encourage to mistake. Refer to figure 1, figure 2, and figure 3 for details.

Measure a level of TPS ACC, and adjust the VR700 for fitting into range of provided level. 7. Measure a level of L‘/MONO OUTPUT JACK (J202). and adjust the VR702 for fitting into range of provided level. 8. Change a tube if that level doesn’t fit into range of provided level, and adjusts again. Provided levels are [1]. [TPS ACC: -17.0 dBm + 1.5dBm] [2]. (OUTPUT: -2.54Bm + 1.5dBm] Both levels can be changed by adjusting VR700. Therefore, if only level of [2] doesn’t fit into range of provided level, make this level fit into the range by adjusting the VR700. As long as the level of [1] is in the range. For more details about the position of TPS, refer to Figure 2 and 3. -20-3. ENERGIZER (Output side) adjustment It is the same as G7.1ut except input level and range of provided level. 3.1.

Remove the bottom cover of the G9.2tt ‘Tum the power on the normal mode Press the”BYPASS/TUNER” Key or “HOLD/BYPASS/TUNER” for a while and the signal line of G9.2tt become state of “BYPASS” ‘Tum the “TUBE” knob to 10(MAX) position and the “BOOST” knob to O(MIN) position. Tum the “ACC_TUBE” knob to 0(MIN) position and the SOLIDSTATE” knob to 10(MAX) position Make all EX PEDALS to be MAX. }6 dBm 440Hz to “INPUT” Monitor the indication level on the application program of “G2.1u USB Check” Refer to Figs Adjust the trimmer (left ch=VR203, right ch=VR204) for fitting into range of provided level. Change a tube if that level doesn’t fit into range of provided level, and Input the signal (sine wave) of adjusts again. Range of provided level is, in both left channel and right channel. [37.5 dBm + 2.04B] (However, difference both channels within 1.0dB) This level is the same with one of G7.1ut.Ei apes ee oa Cae J ¢ ° ° ° Figure 6 The location of adjuster on the analog PCB, -23-Back Up User’s Data If necessary, back up the user’s effect patch data to avoid an accidental erasing. * Equipment required + User's G9.2tt as a transmitter (hereinafter referred to as “the transmitter”) nother G9.2tt as a receiver (hereinafter referred to as “the receiver”) “Jumper wires 1.

Even after overwriting the user patches, their original content can be restored in a single operation (“All Initialize” fimetion). If necessary, back up the user’s patch data, Refer to page 24, 25 for details of the back up 1. Tun the power on while holding the [STORE] key. The indication “AL” appears on the display. 2. To cay out the All Initialize fimction, press the [STORE] key once more. All patch settings are retumed to the factory default condition, and the unit switches to play mode. To caucel All Initialize, press the [EXIT] key instead of the [STORE] key.epee Circuit Check Specifications as 7=e - eyeee oT iL saponin nto, > le Is IE Ir i le ie ‘esas fe dtbnaee cca cRcUT OGRA San Posipceorst)O P creeNaI Poscetst) CODEC Ceut oSNaneeaPessrsn creati! z Pent | Lvball tt.a" ig] ihe i oH ey re)‘Analog Ponce ots) TUBE Cheuk a =I ee. fe Pea Se mo ES LE -Exploded View 2Parts List ELECTRONIC PARTS LIST iain PCB :PcB.ors) -44-TT asain eer fiscieeS etor Naser + El -45-ENCODER 1 PcB: PcRoIseA Es a 2pcB.018 FOOT SW 1 PCB PCB.015eR ¥ Puoro Zeca. -46-EEE PPEEE ® PEPER = Ee -47-Leeann [enn sw q = SSS pa ae : -48-MECHANICAL PARTS LIST rs io a ienecae oo + -49-Z-PEDAL MECHANICAL PARTS LIST fede t-f-l el tf 1 9)Spare Parts Order List ELECTRONIC PARTS LIST see once Mau ea EEE EEE ane a eee (ome 7 a snare TE EES SEESea SEIT Ts EEE [SES ES ST = i SSS HOT el SE FE TO a OT + “a SRETEL [PSE Se EL SESE rs fen pa Tee Era eT 7a caieees TSS [ES SESE TE = ra Reaaronae Te a aes SE TE a ETO TE TER RRS TESTS ELS SSE ETE =] Sansa [STS TERE PRS Te 7 TEE OE Toy z TTR [aE SW EEL Te 7 -S1-ENCODER 1pca -poB.ors6a song gra nama [Sens eommECTOR HPT ene eee a z a -52-pop: Popo a ~a= a = eae Ea — = = - ee ae aE rere ca : _ = cr - ems Remes iTS ae C= SO t To] Se SS = = = aes Se maHBA : : (Exerepare EE SE ene ‘on erenenronnn i asa 7 = ‘[erremeloszeanscorceiy Ses Om a 7. a -53-MECHANICAL PARTS LIST EEE EOE ESE EE See ES i TT zat See ieee ae T cI Fiat or a -54-Eee RSHAMCAL PARTS UST eer TE [ecvRIESOT TST PACKING PARTS LIST SESE EE SE ronment 4 feos fects as “ t a -55-To: ZOOM Corp.
