Following on from a report on Reddit, I have confirmed that the " Recti ORG" effect (RCTORG1U.ZD2) can be installed to the pedal. but is not available for use...
https://www.reddit.com/r/zoommultistomp/comments/11cp6jf/missing_effect_no_found/

I don't have a B1XFour, but confirmed with GCE-3 configured as such. Which unfortunately makes it a little harder to control via the command line.

A patch with (just) this effect installed:
B1XFour_Recti.ztpc.gz

There doesn't appear to be a "NEEDED" library dependency (as in #37). So what else could prevent the effect from functioning?

I'd ask the user if the installed effect can be used on-device, that is not from the GL? The official editors filter the lists by model, which, well, makes sense.

I thought it was the general understanding that the side-loaded effects attach user to the device's UI for patch management, which is not too bad, IMO. A little price to pay for not acquiring the additional devices. Otherwise, ZOOM's offering is very much comprehensive.

I believe that they user is seeing a failure on his pedal. Using my GCE-3 and some 'script-foo' it does appear that it is NOT working on my pedal...

Does it work on your GCE-3 in G1/G1X FOUR or A1/A1X FOUR mode? Not in GL, but using the pedal's physical UI.

RCTORG1U.ZD2 v1.0 is defined for H8 and R20, apart from G1/G1X FOUR. That means, it's reasonable to expect it to work on B1/B1X FOUR as well, as the H8 set mostly is a combination of G/B/A1 FOUR lists.

Maybe it's about G_OUT_EQ.BDL, though I thought B1(X) FOUR has both this one and B_OUT_EQ.BDL?

How about the MACH301U.ZD2, it's another AMP from G1 FOUR?

Did you try to see if MACH301U.ZD2 works ok on your GCE-3 in B1 FOUR mode?

P.S. the aggregated effects list also denotes if a given effect belongs to B/A sets.

So pretty much, these seem to match the official allocation.

I'm not sure what is being done here. Could you roughly explain the objective and the findings?

@mungewell

Just scripted up what I did manually before...
1). Upload all the AMP effects, and dump 'FLTS_SEQ.ZT2' to confirm that they have actually installed.
2). Download current patch, and then create multiple copies with all effects forced to particular value.
3). For each of the new patches; upload to location '47', then select and read back 'current' patch to confirm. Then download the 'screen' via midi and decode.

The txt files show the full action, just summarized to confirm effects which DO display via the 'screen'.

The next question, I guess, is to see if there is a 'marker' in the ZD2 which might explain.

We can also transplant the code from one effect into another. This might help tell us whether the 'issue' is within the actual code, or the other parts of the ZD2.

If I understood it correctly, some of G1 FOUR native effects did not appear to work on your GCE-3 set up as G1X FOUR. If that's the case, then this is rather unexpected. Maybe there is some issue in the way the GCE-3 set up?

... For the G1XFour (real hardware) there are a couple of AMPs which don't work, they don't work on either GCE-3 setting either...

FYI: On real G1 FOUR hw, the MS19591U.ZD2 works no problem, it's actually installed by default. Same with MS45OS1U.ZD2, which needs to be installed manually, but works too. Both of these are also defined in FLST_SEQ.ZT2 for G1X FOUR, so it's reasonable to expect they should work ok on it too. The md5 checksums match, just checked. Maybe something gets messed up in the scripts. Just for the test, you could try enabling these effects via the official editor (GL or ToneLib) with either "empty" (just with BYPASS.ZD2 entry section) or default FLST_SEQ.ZT2.

I didn't test 'gce-3_as_g1four', I used my real G1XFour.

The mistake with MS19591U.ZD2 and MS45OS1U.ZD2 was mine, I failed to copy them to the local drive (and therefore they were not uploaded to pedal).

Ok. So all native AMP effects should work ok on the real G1X FOUR, but do they work ok on GCE-3 in G1X FOUR mode?

Also, it looks like in your new G1X FOUR test results the FD_TWR1U.ZD2 (0x04000021) is not being recognized either. This one is also installed by default, so should work ok. So should be all the effects "native" to the model.

As for B-AMPs, the BMN1001U.ZD2 works ok on G1 FOUR, just as SVT_1U.ZD2. Yet your test succeeds only for the SVT_1U.ZD2.

Looks like there's a off-by-one problem in the script. I understand that you're sending the patch file into the patch number 48. Then "refresh" it to reload into current, but select it as a different patch number (57):

amidi -p hw:2,0,0 -S 'b0 20 04 c0 07'  # this selects patch 57 (bank_msb:00, bank_lsb:04, progid:07 @bankid:5)

Instead, the command should be:

amidi -p hw:2,0,0 -S 'b0 20 03 c0 08'  ## patch 48

Not sure if I should say "well spotted" :-)... This is actually a bug/deficiency with the ZoomZT2 code, in that different pedals have different arrangements of groups for patches. I didn't progress figuring it out.

The said, we/the script confirms that the correct patch is set by download the current ('-c') patch - showing that the change has be set.

For the 'screens' the On/Off state of the patch is unpredictable - this maybe that the parameters are left at invalid settings.

Sorry for bothering you, guys, but is there any progress on that?

I'm thinking about buying a B1x4 pedal as a temporary dual guitar/bass solution (already have g1four, but it's not available at the moment) and thinking if it will fit my needs.

@nomadbyte
Copy link

@a13 Слава Україні!

FWIW, B1/B1X FOUR and G1/G1X FOUR already share quite a few effect modules by default. I'm not sure if you've tried it already yourself on your G1 FOUR, it has no trouble running B1 FOUR "specific" modules (at least as of fw v2.00). So it's reasonable to expect that B1 FOUR should be able to run G1 FOUR "specific" modules just as well. In fact, so far there has not been much feedback about it being otherwise. I guess, @shooking did some tests using these scripts with B1X FOUR, maybe he could chime in on that.

Mind that B1 FOUR on-board EQ uses somewhat different frequencies, more optimized for Bass, than G1 FOUR. Technically, this could be compensated by using a separate EQ module, though it will take up a slot.

Also, you need to realize that any side-loaded effect modules will not be visible in the GuitarLab, because it filters the modules by model. This pretty much ties the patch management to the device's controls or this and similar third-party scripts. It may be possible to use GL/ToneLib but only with "native" modules.

HI @a13 @nomadbyte - I made a video on how to change the pedals as follows
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmNNdbnqz8c&t=6s

I am sure @mungewell can do this all from the CLI - but I wanted to show folks how they can plan what they want from each pedal.
Interestingly enough someone else was attempting to solder a pot onto the PCB - I pointed them at this thread.

I gave my G1XFour away to a youth at the church - he was interested in learning guitar and I only got the pedal to play hacking. I did noticed the BDLs but I didnt realise they made that much difference to the EQ. I guess it is like a firmware version of changing the caps in a Cry Baby :-)

For what it's worth, I use the G5n as my main pedal. Loaded all the bass FX I need and I havent noticed any lack of bass via front of house speakers - there again I got me a Hartke 410XL for £30 and driving that via a Fender Champion 110 generates a ton of bass!

If I wanted to control the pedal but from a G1Four or B1Four then I would instead add an ADC to the Pi4, read in pedal values, modify my GUI to allow choice of parameter(s) and some path (maybe I want linear up on one and exp down on another?), and send the parameter changes via midi.

I also managed to get my PCB working for Zoom remote control - basically breakout the 3.3v lines from Zoom into a 25 pin D Sub, DuPont those into a header - PCB then allows monetary guitar footswitches turn all the front panel modes (looper, rhythm, mem, settings, FX1 - 5, Tuner (sends FS1 and 2), and P1 - P4 up/down plus sends Bluetooth to a page turner (song down, page back, page forward, song up).

Controlled via an ESP32 - I can also accept signals in to control the pedal (not written yet but functionality is there). Likely I will either install a 5 pin midi and decode in the loop - send NRPNs to do the business or use midi over Bluetooth (except I want the page turner - so only if both can be supported).

Video coming out tomorrow - https://youtu.be/9oaGytZxghs

The more complicated answer involves admitting that we didn't figure out the issue with 'RectiOrg' (and other Amp effects). I will note that the MS series have a separate DLL which are used with the Guitar amps/effects, and perhaps somehow the same exists on the newer pedals.

On the issue of frequency bands/ranges - I had a recent discussion somewhere on modifying effects, and confirmed that the frequencies are set in the ZD2 code section as a list of float32. I'll see if I can find a link to post. This raises the possibility of converting 'guitar' effects to work better with basses.

Excellent work. I haven't used my Pi this year - looks like I need to dust it off. Why is 127 the multiple and not 128 BTW? My thinking was this is 7 bit midi so 128 rather than 256. What did I miss?

...I will note that the MS series have a separate DLL which are used with the Guitar amps/effects, and perhaps somehow the same exists on the newer pedals.

MS series is ZDL-based (multistomps like MS-70CDR), so it's not directly compatible with ZD2 systems as G1/B1 FOUR, G5n etc.

If you're referring to the additional DRV/BASS ZDL modules on MS-50G/60B resp., those are separate ZDL files:

CMN_DRV.ZDL (zdlfxid:0x0f000000, size: 22933)

nomadbyte commented Mar 22, 2023

Rereading the original post, the user reported:

"...the Recti Org effect doesn't actually work or show up on the B1X FOUR pedal in practise. I figured i had something to do with the fact that when installing through zt2 it appears on the effects tab but not on the files. It is meant to show up in both places..."

and your followup:

"...Then back to Windows for GL to confirm "Missing Effect Not Found" in the patch editor."

I get to think that GL issue is a red herring here. The side-loaded "non-native" effects should not be visible in GL or ToneLib, these editors filter the effects list by model. Thus, installed or not, the Recti Org effect is not defined as "native" to B1X FOUR, so it will not be visible/available from GL editor and will be reported "MISSING", if referenced in a patch.

For this reason, using GL to diagnose this issue is not a valid approach, unless you want to test your install script correctness in respect to "native" target (i.e. side-load Recti Org onto G1X FOUR real or emulated on GCE-3, or similarly, the Bass-"native" SVT_1U.ZD2 onto B1X FOUR).

Instead of the GL approach, I would suggest to try to side-load another "non-native" AMP onto B1X FOUR (real or emulated). For example, try MACH301U.ZD2, it's "native" to G1 FOUR, just as Recti Org RCTORG1U.ZD2 is. Then see if the side-loaded effect is available for use on the pedal screen, not via GL. No need to push a patch, it's possible to just select the installed effect using the buttons.

shooking commented Mar 22, 2023

Ah GL is Zoom GuitarLab 😀
The more recent versions were more likely to show the FX regardless of model. That is from 7.x onwards.

But ToneLib doesn't. It could but like you hinted a lot of the data is hardcoded (the MS70CDR/B1On with external FX proves this).

That's why I added a GUI with a pedal probe 1st.

https://github.com/shooking/ZoomPedalFun/tree/main/python

B1xfour.py - it should work on any modern pedal. But I do need to use zoomzt2 as a module and need a couple of extra functions add to that.

The only things I couldn't handle.
1 - looper/rhythm doesn't seem to have a valid zt2. I discovered a dummy variant and hacked that into my probe
2 - for sure the ID needs to be considered 32 bit; then the A1XFour FX gets matches correctly.
3 - I should cache JSON and compare/add as new FX are discovered as a speedup.

I use my GUI with a 22 inch touchscreen on a Pi4. I don't yet feel confident to gig with it. But it sure helps to explore the FX.

Some of my videos demo where GL/TL cannot read FX but our combined code can. But like I said - sometimes Zoom fix rendering bugs. Which is very magnanimous of them!

nomadbyte commented Mar 23, 2023

Looking for answers in the code, I stumbled upon these lines:

zoom-zt2/zoomzt2.py

Lines 781 to 783 in af23a0c

print("Installing effect:", target)
if pedal.file_check(target):
pedal.file_upload(target, bindata)

It looks like there should be a not in the condition, such that if an effect's file does not exist on the pedal, then it needs to be uploaded.

This may explain that a new effect is reported as having been installed, yet its file is missing. Thus loading a patch that references such effect will show it as "MISSING", indeed the effect's ZD2 module file is simply not there.

Thanks. In total, there should be 16 G-AMPs -- those are ok. The ones that failed are the B-AMPs (9 in total).

Well, that's what I thought -- the GCE-3 fw may be the reason for these limitations, either Bass or Guitar-wise emulation.

This leaves the test on the actual B1 FOUR hardware still open. Just as in @shooking test, the opposite -- Bass-AMPs on G1/G1X FOUR hardware -- appears to be functional.

Perhaps, someone with the actual B1 FOUR hw may want to try to install even a single G-AMP (e.g. RCTORG1U.ZD2:'Recti ORG' or MACH301U.ZD2:'MATCH30') and confirm if the effect is visible for selection directly on the B1/B1X FOUR pedal screens.

@shooking

I can try this. I gave the G1XFour away but I have the B1XFour on my desk - finalising my physical remote control device.

I gig with my G5n. I loaded a range of bass FX on it but I didn't add any amps of cabs mostly because I pipe Zoom out into their mixer.

I got me a real 4 x 10 Hartke recently. It pushes air :-). So I don't really use those models.

Is my problem (not the OP's) simply down to the GCE-3?

@shooking Thanks for helping to repro the issue.

Do you mean you're seeing RCTORG1U.ZD2 in the GUARDZDL.ZT2 on your B1X FOUR?

Normally, GUARDZDL.ZT2 references RCT_ORG.ZD2 which is the G5n variant, it's non-compatible with B1/G1 FOUR. It has 8 params, without pager.

The 1U module variants like RCTORG1U.ZD2 are the ones compatible with single-screen units like G1 FOUR, they have the pager for the params. I understand that you were installing the 1U variant onto your B1X FOUR in this test, right?

Can you also try to install MACH301U.ZD2 into your B1X FOUR hardware (that's another G-AMP, 1U variant)?

@shooking
Copy link

Sure. I did this at work today. I will film it so we can be sure I am not making mistakes.
I tried the 1U from my G1XFour archive. I understand that the guard doesn't mention the 1U but it seems to install FX according to Mungwell's GUI, but no files. This then stopped my program working. I will debug it to see what gives. I was a bit worried until the firmware install just worked.

@shooking

Did you have a chance to test installing the MACH301U.ZD2 effect module onto your B1X FOUR hardware? I wonder if this G-AMP does appear on the pedal or if it has the same problem as the RCTORG1U.ZD2, as you mentioned earlier.

@3eby4b Yours is a different issue. What's been discussed here is the opposite: some G1 FOUR AMP effects (ZD2 files) not being operational on B1/B1X FOUR firmware. G1/G1X FOUR firmware should be able to load B1/B1X FOUR-specific effects.

You may want to take a look at this zoom-zt2 tool and review how to use it properly in order to load additional effects into your G1X FOUR. Or post a separate issue, in case you get errors or problems with the tool.
