Tom Quayle
One of the most important features Tom wanted to incorporate in
this pedal was the choice of stacking the sides either direction or
even having the option to totally separate them.
Tom uses a channel switching/looper system to control his pedals. If
we had made this a regular dual pedal, he would not have been
able to control the channels separately from his switcher. With this
in mind, we isolated each circuit and gave them their own set of
input and outputs. Also, via the control switch at the top, if you do
not use a switcher/looper you can control which way the signal
flows through the pedal.
Remember - this is not designed to be “changed on the fly” but
to give you the option of keeping them separate, or putting
them one way or the other.
Because the purity of the signal path and the integrity of his, and
your, tone is as important to Tom as it is to us, we did not take the
more complicated switching option (that would have not only
sucked some of your tone but also radically increased the size and
price) that would have made the input/output selector automatic.
So, here is how it works...
Right Position.
(see picture 1)
Stacks C1 into C2. For this to work you
must
input via C1 and come
out of C2. Any other variation will not work!
Left Position.
(see picture 2)
Stacks C2 into C1. In order for this to work, you
must
plug into the
pedal via C2 in, and out from C1. As above, any other variation will
not work.
Center Position.
(see picture 3)
If you want to use a looper/switching system, put the three way
selector switch to the center position. This completely separates the
channels (it is also interesting doing this and adding other effects
between the two - this will make it like a pre and post gain effects
loop if you plug one into the other with other effects inbetween -
experiment, see what happens!).
