Powering 

Paragraphs was designed to operate using your typical center negative, 
regulated 9-9.6 VDC power supply. The pedal is protected against 
reversed polarity and overvoltage conditions. Always check your power 
supply for proper voltage and polarity before connecting. There is no 
battery connection inside the pedal. 
 

Extended Warranty 

Vongon will repair or replace any malfunctioning product for a period 
of 1 year after purchase date. Problems resulting from modifications

expenses. This warranty applies only to the original owner of the 
product. Proof of purchase might be required.
