Set up
Use only standard,
9VDC REGULATED
, center-negative power supplies
rated for at least 200mA from a reputable vendor for all your Asheville
Music Tools effects. Classic old style, rectified & filtered, but unregulated,
supplies are
not acceptable
for use with this product. We like the
Truetone™ One Spot® and similar products.
The ADG-1 will draw over 150mA when engaged, so be careful when
using multi output supplies that are rated for only 100mA.
Use the higher
current outputs when using this type of supply. Never use a higher
voltage supply with this product.
There are no sonic benefits and you will
risk damaging the pedal and void the warranty. The pedal will not turn on
if it detects an overvoltage supply. The Analoger Series of pedals high
current draw makes it impractical to use with a conventional 9V battery.
Your ADG-1 is shipped with a clear plastic protector over the knobs. Feel
free to peel this off if artifacts from its presence show on the knob top.
The ADG-1 has an input level control and flexible bypass making it able to
be used in various configurations for guitar, synthesizer or line level
applications, including:
Standard pedal use:
ADG-1 connected into an amplifier input,
with or without other pedals. You may use the pedal in either
Buffered or True bypass mode in this configuration.
Insert Effect:
Connect the ADG-1 to the effects send/return of
your power amp or mixing console. Alternatively, use the ADG-
1 to replace the existing preamp if connected to just the return.
Use this way in buffered Bypass mode only.
DI (Direct Input):
The ADG-1 can be used to line match to a
mixer or DAW input for the correct drive and signal conversion
from the guitar’s high impedance out to a console or DAWs low
impedance line in. It can also be used as a buffered drive pedal
placed before other pedals. For best results use with 10K or
higher line input. Not suitable for 600ohm input impedance of
some classic consoles. Use this in buffered Bypass mode only.
