will be. When set to UNITY, the dry signal will be set
to the same level as your bypassed tone. This can also
be adjusted via internal trimmer.
HISS TOGGLE
Selects between three levels of noise, from none, to
quite a bit. These noise generators are a mixture of
white noise and flutter distortion and can be sculpted
with the high pass and low pass filters.
BYPASS STOMP
Activates or bypasses the effect. This can be changed
to a momentary bypass or momentary active via a
dip switch in the back of the pedal if it is desired.
This pedal allows for “True Bypass” via a relay or
Buffered Bypass selectable via a dip switch in the
back of the pedal.
AUX STOMP
Activates the auxiliary function defined by the AUX
FUNC toggle. This stomp can also be set to latching or
momentary active via a dip switch on the back.
LOWER TOGGLE
This switch recalls presets. The right position recalls
preset #1, the left position recalls preset #2. The
middle position will always reflect wherever the knob
positions, toggle positions, and dip switch positions
are currently at. In order to save to the right preset
slot, you hold down the right stomp (bypass) for 3
seconds, and then hold down both stomp switches
simultaneously for another 3 seconds. The LED blinks
and your setting is saved. For the left slot, you do the
same thing, but hold the left stomp first. If you recall
a preset, and move a knob, you will notice that the
LED above the toggle goes dim. This is to signify that
something has changed on the preset. If you want to
save this change in the preset, you will have to save
it again.
IN / OUT
¼
” mono jack.
EXP / CV
¼
” TRS jack for expression pedal (parameter
selectable via dip switch in the back of the pedal).
Tip goes to wiper. Can also be used for 0-5V Control
Voltage (CV) on tip – the ring should be left floating in
this case. There are many expression pedals that work
with Chase Bliss Audio products, contact us for
more info.
MIDI/AUX
¼
” TRS jack. This can be used to interface the pedal
with a Chase Bliss Midibox. There is much more
information on this in the MIDI manual. In addition,
this can be used as a secondary switch to activate
/ bypass the AUX FUNC control with a momentary
normally open (NO) switch.
POWER & OTHER INFO
This pedal consumes ~150mA and should be operated
with a standard 2.1mm 9V DC center negative adapter
with current supply capabilities of 200mA or more. If
you use a “standard” outlet of 100mA, the pedal will
not function properly. Input impedance of this device
is 1M, and output impedance is less than 1k.
EXPRESSION / CV CONTROL
& DIP SWITCHES
The Wow, HP, Flutter, Gen, and LP dip switches
in the left bank allow you to control parameters
via Expression Pedal / CV. If you have something
plugged into the EXP / CV jack but do not have any
parameters selected via dip switch, you can control
the Wet knob via expression or CV. It behaves like it
has “rise” and “bottom” sweep dip switches engaged.
SETTING EXPRESSION /
CV RANGE
The range of the expression / CV is controlled by the
parameter knob position and the “Sweep” dip switch.
For example, if you wanted an expression pedal to
control the WOW parameter from the least possible to
halfway, you would make sure the “Sweep” dip switch
is in the bottom position and set the WOW knob
around noon. If you need more WOW, you simply
turn the WOW knob clockwise. This will increase the
maximum range of the expression pedal. This allows
you to control multiple parameters with an expression
pedal, but you can fine tune the range that you want
for each parameter.
UNDERSTANDING THE
DIP SWITCHES
When you save a preset, all of this information
gets saved. The indicated parameters below
correspond to the ramp function or an expression
pedal (if one is plugged in).
A very important thing to remember is that ramping
always gets reset when bypassing. The parameters’
current knob position control where the parameters
ultimately will either start or stop ramping.
