6. Status Led – Indicates when the Vapor Trail is active. LED is on when the unit is engaged, off
when in true bypass mode.
7. True Bypass footswitch - Activates the pedal. Note when the pedal is off, the circuit from
your guitar’s signal runs via a hardwired connection from the input jack to the output jack for
True Bypass operation.
8. Side wet insert Jack
– This can be used 3 ways.
- Send your wet signal to any other pedal or chain of pedals for additional processing.
Use a stereo Y adaptor with a “tip-send/ring-return (TRS) connector on one end. Plug the
TRS male plug into the Wet Insert Jack on the Vapor Trail. Plug the other ends into your
In and Out jacks on you other pedal. Having fun devising unique tones!
- Activate the wet signal from a volume type foot pedal, or even an expression pedal.
Again, use a patch cable with a “tip-send/ring-return’ connector.
- Separate wet and dry outputs for stereo, or special recordings. Your wet signal will
come from the side Wet Insert Jack, again with a TRS connector. The standard Output
Jack on the end of the Vapor Trail will be the Dry send. Note in this setup, the Mix knob
has no effect on the signal going to the Output Jack. Blending will be controlled by the
level of your stereo amps or channel faders.
9. Input Jack - Plug in your guitar or other pedal cable here.
10. Output Jack
- Run a cable to the input of your amp or to the next effect.
11. Power Jack
- You can use any 9V-18V regulated DC adapter (negative polarity
center terminal)
12. easy Access Battery door (located on back panel) -
When not in use, save your battery life
by removing your guitar cable from the Input jack.
