Feel free to contact support@ramblefx.com at any time with questions or concerns.
Please do not attempt any repair or modification.
OPERATION AND CARE
Kismet is not intended to operate in an amplifier’s effects loop. Only connect
instrument level voltages to Kismet. Kismet needs power to operate its relay true bypass
switching. Using an isolated power supply can reduce noise. If one power supply is
powering multiple devices, make sure it is rated for the sum of all pedals’ current draw.
Kismet has no user serviceable parts internally. Not for human consumption.
TROUBLESHOOTING
STEP 1: Reset Kismet by disconnecting power from for 5 seconds then reconnect.
STEP 2:
STEP 3: Try different cables and supply, if possible.
If expression control does not work, follow the calibration procedure on page 18. If
calibration fails, it is connected incorrectly (see pages 11-12), or is incompatible.
If automatic MIDI channel setting (Page 20) fails, make sure it is connected properly
(Page 19). If the channel setting is successful and MIDI doesn’t work, make sure that
the controller being used is sending MIDI compliant Program Change or Control
Change messages. See midi.org for info.

If step 1 didn’t fix it, isolate Kismet by connecting a guitar to Kismet, and
Kismet to amp
only , with nothing else in the chain. Also, disconnect any
other devices that share the power supply.
