Zoom Fire-18M Guitar Combo Amplifier (18 Watts, 1x8 in.)

With Zoom's legendary multi-effects built into a compact, powerful speaker cabinet, the new Fire-18M is an incredible new guitar combo. With its exclusive built-in microphone system, it's also one of the most unique combos on the market.

Exclusive Built-in Microphone
An innovative concept never seen before, the new Fire amps feature mini-condenser microphones mounted on the grilles, in front of the speaker cone. A dedicated pre-amp then provides a true mic'ed cabinet tone for recording or live sound.

Record with the Direct Output From the Mic
Output signal from the mic pre-amp is directly routed to the XLR recording output, so you can send the microphone signal directly to your recording device or PA system. The line signal can also be mixed with the XLR out, so you can blend your direct and miced signals. The FIRE-18M has a condensor mic mounted in front of the speaker cone.

Zoom Amplifier Modeling
From vintage combo to modern high gain amp sounds, Fire amps give you the tone you want at the turn of a knob. From vintage tube, to acoustic, to solid-state thrash metal, to clean -- Zoom amps have it all.

Store Your Effects Settings
Built-in memory allows you to save up to 10 of your own effect combinations, or "patches". Recall any setting anytime, including effects and amp models. 20 preset patches are also built-in that simulate traditional amplifier tones.

Delay / Reverb Control
The Fire-36M features an independent control section for Delay and Reverb effects. A Type/Time control selects the type and the duration of the effect. The corresponding Mix knob adjusts the depth of the Delay or Reverb.

Post-Effect Processing
Fire amps also offer four post-effect processing tools.

Boost: Raises the input signal, providing deeper distortion and more SPL.

Sustain: Adds depth and length with compression. Great for leads.

Edge: Emphasizing high frequencies for more bite.

Bottom: Boosts low frequencies. Perfect for 7 string guitars.

Modulation Control
The Fire-36M also features a Modulation control that allows the user to control the intensity of modulation effects with the turn of a dial.

Auto Chromatic Tuner
A built-in auto chromatic tuner allows you to tune your guitar quickly and accurately.

Foot Switch
Using the optional FS01 foot switch, the user can switch between manual mode and program mode. Switch between a clean sound for rhythm parts, and an overdrive tone for leads.

Zoom Noise Reduction
ZNR is Zoom's own noise reduction system. It cleanly cuts out spurious noise during silences in your playing. ZNR is also adjustable, and can be turned on and off.

Auxiliary Input / Phones Output
When connecting a CD player to the Aux In, you can hear the CD playback and the sound of your guitar. This is a great feature for rehearsing, or learning a guitar part. Also, the Phones jack lets you plug in a pair of headphones for personal listening.

Power Damp Switch
The Fire-36M features a Power Damp switch that lets you play at a lowvolume, without losing the sound of your selected effects. read less
