Zoom FP02M Expression Pedal

The Zoom FP02M is an external expression pedal made for compatible Zoom guitar, bass, vocal, and multi-effects devices. It gives players hands-free, real-time control over assigned effects functions without changing settings mid-performance. Connect it to a supported Zoom unit to add a dedicated foot-controlled parameter interface to an existing rig.

It is well suited to guitarists, bassists, and other Zoom processor users who want more direct control during rehearsals, recording, or live use. Depending on the connected device and selected patch, the pedal can control volume, wah, pitch, or an assignable effect parameter. This makes it useful for bringing movement and dynamic control to effects that would otherwise require manual adjustment.

The FP02M is a controller rather than an audio processor, so it does not add its own tonal coloration or effects. Its role is to operate the compatible Zoom processor in real time, including functions such as modulation rate, distortion gain, and delay or reverb level. The available assignments depend on the connected Zoom model and its settings.

A full-metal chassis gives the pedal a durable, compact physical platform for pedalboard and floor use. Its 86 mm wide by 200 mm deep footprint is designed to add expression control without the bulk of a second multi-effects unit. At 610 g, it is substantial enough for regular foot operation while remaining portable.

The FP02M fits naturally beside compatible Zoom processors such as the G3n, G5n, and B3n. It includes a 1/4-inch to 1/4-inch connection cable, so the basic connection hardware is supplied. For users building a Zoom-based effects system, it is a straightforward way to expand control capability without replacing the main processor.

Key Features

• Included Connection Cable: Includes a 1/4-inch to 1/4-inch cable for connecting to a compatible unit.
• Compact Footprint: Measures 86 mm wide by 200 mm deep for efficient placement.
• Broad Zoom Compatibility: Supports a long list of Zoom effects processors and related products.
• Assignable Parameter Control: Can control parameters including modulation, gain, delay, and reverb settings.

Design & Installation

The FP02M uses an all-metal chassis and a treadle-style expression-pedal form factor. Its specified dimensions are 86 mm wide, 200 mm deep, and 70 mm high, with a weight of 610 g. The compact enclosure is intended for use on the floor or alongside a compatible effects processor.

Connect the included 1/4-inch to 1/4-inch cable between the FP02M and the expression-pedal or control input of a compatible Zoom device. Then configure a supported pedal effect or parameter assignment in the connected processor as applicable. Confirm compatibility with the specific Zoom model before purchase, since control options are determined by the connected unit.
