Unprecedented warm and full overdrive A specially developed analog circuit provides totally unmuffled, natural-sounding distortion without any trace of stickiness or hollowness. This results in natural-sounding distortion which fully brings out picking nuances. Inherent noise is also kept very low. Use as full-fledged booster With the GAIN control set to zero, the PD-01 gives superb clean sound. The output stage can deliver up to 20 Vp-p, which drive the amplifier to overdrive with fat, full-bodied sound. Mechanical switch for on/off and true bypass On/off switching is performed using a mechanical foot switch. In the bypass position, the guitar signal is passed through without any alteration. 2 ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 HIGH/LOW equalizer provides versatility The PD-01 features separate HIGH and LOW controls. This gives you more flexibility in creating your own sound with options, ranging from a mild drive tone to a sharp, bright distortions. Sturdy metal chassis The rock-solid case made of aluminum not only looks good, it also can withstand the rigors of use on stage. It's low profile provides excellent stability.

Plug of PD-01 Take care to snap the battery to the connector with correct polarity. 6 ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 Insert the cable from the guitar into the IN jack of the PD-01. This turns the PD-01 on. 4. Connect cable to OUT jack of PD-01 6. Raise volume Connect another cable to the OUT jack of the PD-01. Make sure that the plug is inserted firmly. Turn power to the amplifier on, and raise the LEVEL control on the guitar and PD-01. 5. Connect output cable to amplifier Always follow the above sequence. Plug the cable from the OUT jack of the PD01 to the IN jack of the amplifier. If steps are performed in reverse order, there is a danger of damage to the amplifier or speakers. ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 7 Sound Samples This section shows some actual setting examples and gives information on amplifier settings. Standard overdrive sound Set the amplifier to clean sound without distortion. This will allow you to easily switch between clean sound and overdrive. In this example, the GAIN is set fairly high and the LOW range is given a boost, resulting in a mild, warm sound. This is suitable for applications ranging from light rock backing to solo play. Boost sound emphasizing amp distortion These settings emphasize the amplifier distortion. The key is the 10 o'clock position of the GAIN control. The HIGH and LOW controls may be left in the center. LEVEL can be adjusted to fit the amplifier distortion. The sound of this widely applicable setup will differ considerably, depending on the volume level setting at the guitar. 8 ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 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 performance. Set the amplifier to clean tone for backing, and then set the PD-01 to ON to obtain a natural crunch sound produced by the amplifier in conjunction with the PD-01. Booster sample 2: drive & distortion Set up the amplifier to create a drive sound for backing, and activate the PD-01 for playing solos. The PD-01 is great for this technique, which is often used with large stack amps in the British style. Thanks to the booster function, you'll get incredibly distinct distortion sound. ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 9 PD-01 and Compact Effects This section shows how to use the PD-01 together with other compact effect devices. With compressor & chorus In this example, a compressor is inserted before the PD-01 for level-equalized overdrive sound. Activating the chorus yields a sound that is optimally matched to light chord work. PD-01 SETTING : GAIN 5 HIGH 5 LOW 5 With chorus & delay In this setup, the PD-01 GAIN control is turned up fully. Connect the chorus and delay after the PD-01, for extended solos. Chorus can be set as desired, but the delay should be matched to the tempo of the song. By choosing a fairly long delay time, you can create a wide, expansive sound. PD-01 SETTING : GAIN 10 HIGH 5 LOW 8 10 ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 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 device. You can switch the PD-01 on and off using patch programs of the multi-effect. ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 11 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 cables? Use a known good cable and connect the PD-01 directly to the amplifier. Sound level is low, and sound is distorted also in bypass mode. Is the battery exhausted? Insert a fresh battery. Noise is heard. Are several distortion effects used in series? Excessive compressor settings can also result in noise. Turn only the currently used devices on. Is the cable of good quality? Low-quality cables can cause noise. Is the unit used in the vicinity of a computer monitor, refrigerator, fluorescent lamp, motor, or similar device? The guitar or cable can pick up noise from such devices. In case of problems, increase the distance to such devices. 12 ZOOM Power Drive PD-01 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. When using several effect devices, powering them from AC adapters is recommended.*The initially supplied battery is for checking only and may have a short service life. Distortion is not strong enough. Sound is not clear. Turn up the position of the GAIN control and of the HIGH/LOW controls. Also don't forget to fully turn up the level and tone controls of the guitar. When using an effect device between the PD-01 and the guitar, check the battery, volume, and cable of that device. Cannot produce the desired sound. The audible result of using the PD-01 depends on various different factors. Hardware such as effect devices, guitar, and amplifier of course must be considered, but play technique aspects such as picking and fingering are also important. When creating your sound, do not set controls initially to the 0 or 10 position. Start with all controls set to center and perform fine adjustment from there.
