CAUTION
The external power supply must not exceed 12VDC – if the supply exceeds 12VDC the protection
circuitry in the pedal will operate and the pedal or the power supply WILL be damaged.
Note that some unregulated power supplies with a nameplate rating of 9VDC give out in excess of
12VDC. If in doubt, please measure the actual voltage on your power supply.
•
The CSF
pedal is proper (3PDT) True Bypass. All True Bypass pedals may make a small
noise when switched – this is normal and does not indicate a fault in the pedal. Your
DingoTone pedal has been carefully designed to minimize this.
•
The CSF
pedal has a huge amount of internal gain. The pedal has been carefully designed
to minimize hiss and noise, however, some may be present with both controls set to
maximum. This is normal and does not indicate a fault in the pedal.
Set-point/bias control
The CSF pedal has a set-point/bias control inside mounted on the circuit board. This has been
set in the factory for the optimum “smooth” tone.
We recommend that you do not adjust this control unless you have the necessary skills and
experience (if you are in any doubt as to whether you have the skills and experience, do not
attempt adjustment).
If you choose to adjust this control:
1) Please be aware the trim-pot is fragile. Use an appropriate jeweler’s screwdriver and take
great care!
2) Any damage to the trim-pot or to any other part of the circuit due to adjusting this control is
not covered under warranty. Please be clearly aware – we will be able to tell if damage
has been caused by your adjustment of this control.
3) Identify the test point on the circuit board (marked “TP”)
4) Place the positive probe of a multi-meter set to “Volts” on
the test point, and the negative probe on bare metal on the
pedal casing (ground).
*** Be very careful to not short anything out during this
measurement!
5) Adjust the trim-pot until you have the voltage/tone you want.
The factory setting is approximately 4.7VDC.
Warranty
This pedal is covered by a 12 months replacement warranty. As long as the pedal is not physically or electrically
damaged but has a fault due to parts or labour within 12 months of the initial purchase date, we will replace the
pedal at no cost to you. Shipping to DingoTone is at the owners cost. No warranty claims will be accepted
without a Return Authorization (email us for details).
The warranty is void if any modification or repair is done by anyone other than DingoTone, or if the pedal has
been disassembled. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Under no circumstances will DingoTone be responsible for consequential loss or damage. At all. Ever. We’ll
replace your pedal if it fails because of a defect. But that’s it.
