Blow!
User s Manual
’
Please read carefully this manual as it provides how to best use this pedal and gives very important
informations.
This pedal must be powered with a 9v negative centre power supply.
Warnings
If your Blow ! Version has the optional phantom power module, please do plug your XLRs and
Jacks BEFORE powering on the pedal.
Only turn on the phantom power when your channel strip in the mixing table is muted.
To avoid feedbacks, set the gain to zero before removing the PAD.
Don’t plug in any electric guitar or piezo pickups in the input combo XLR-Jack. Well you can do it,
but the result will be poor, the pedal is not made for these types of mics.
And most importantly : the PAD is set by default. If you push down the PAD button, it’ll be
removed!!!
What s the Blow! for?
’
The Blow! is a preamp for static or condenser mics with a jack effect loop for guitar effects pedals.
If you're a singer, saxophone player, trombone or trumpet player, etc. the Blow! will allow you to
experiment with guitar pedals without loss in your sound quality.
Guitar pickups being more powerful than dynamic or condenser mics, the preamp part allows to
attack the guitar pedals with the same level as a guitar’s pickup. The XLR in and out and the
optional phantom power makes this pedal very similar to a direct box but added a preamp and an
effect loop.
