Switching the effect on and off
To power up your pedal, connect the included
power supply to the pedal’s power input socket.
Footswitch – standard mode
By default, the footswitch works as follows:
► To turn the effect on, tap the footswitch.
► To turn the effect off, tap the footswitch again.
When the effect is switched off, the pedal will
have zero influence on your tone. For more in-
formation, see “True Bypass”.
►
To mute the signal from the pedal, press and
hold the footswitch.
While the pedal is muted, the pedal’s LED
will blink. This is a great feature if you want to
switch instruments on stage and want to avoid
a giant „POW!“ going through the PA.
Footswitch – Phase Control mode
In Phase Control mode, the pedal footswitch is
not used to switch the effect on and off, but to
reverse the phase of the audio signal. Phase re-
versal is an effective and easy way to remove
low-frequency feedback.
Activating Phase Control mode
►
Remove the power supply to switch the pedal
off.
►
Press and hold the footswitch.
► Power up the pedal again by inserting the
power supply while holding down the foot-
switch.
►
To reverse the signal phase, tap the foot-
switch. The pedal’s LED will change from red
to green.
► To return the signal to regular phase, tap the
footswitch again. The pedal’s LED will change
from green to red.
In Phase Control mode, BodyRez is always on.
Accordingly, you have to turn the Body control
fully counter-clockwise to remove the effect in
this mode.
Audio input
The audio input on the right side of this pedal is
a standard ¼” jack (mono/TS).
► Connect your guitar to the audio input on the
right side of your pedal using a regular ¼”
mono cable.
Audio output
The audio output on the left side of this pedal is
a standard ¼” jack (mono/TS).
►
Connect the audio output of your pedal to the
next device in the signal chain using a regular
¼” mono cable.
USB port
If there should be firmware updates for this ped-
al, they can be installed using the USB port – see
“Updating the firmware”.
Body knob
Use the Body knob to specify how much of the
BodyRez effect you want to apply. You can set
it low for some subtle compression – but to be
honest, you should just crank it and bask in the
full glory of your lovely acoustic instrument!
