ZOOM RFX-2000
This section lists all the effects and parameters available in the RFX-2000. For effects from the EXTRA bank (which can be
called up only from a computer), only the parameters that can be adjusted with the front-panel controls of the RFX-2000 are
described.
Effects suitable for a send/return connection (p. 4) are marked with this symbol.
Effects for which tap input (p. 9) can be used are marked with this symbol.
The parameter that can be set by tap input is marked with a "TAP" indication besides the name.
BYPASS indicates the operation of the unit in bypass mode (p. 6). This can be either WET MUTE (effect
sound only is muted) or DRY THRU (original sound is passed through unprocessed).
