CHANGING THE BATTERY

Figure A

● 

Replace the battery with a 006P 9 volt battery ONLY.

● 

 When opening the rear panel for battery replacement, make sure the AC 

adapter is not connected. When the rear panel is opened, PCB (green board 

on which parts are soldered) appears. Do not touch this board with a conductor 

such as metal or it may cause damage to the equipment or electric shock.

1. Remove the four screws of the rear panel with a Phillips-head screwdriver.

2. Connect the new battery and place it in the case. (See Figure A)

● 

Unplug the instrument when not in use to prolong the battery life.

● 

 When battery power is running low, LEDs on the top panel gets dim or 

does not light. Replace the battery.

OPERATION

TOP PANEL

REAR PANEL

  

On/off switch

: Turns the NOISE GATE function on/off.

  

Indicator red

: Red LED lights up when the NOISE GATE is turned on.

  

Indicator green

: Green LED will light up when the gate is working.

  

THRESHOLD

: Controls the threshold level that engages the mute 

circuitry. This sets the limit for when the gate will take effect and start to 
decrease or mute the signal. Turning the knob clockwise increases the 
threshold, which means the signal will be muted faster.

  

THRESHOLD mode

: Switches the range, HIGH or LOW.  

HIGH activates the mute circuitry at an earlier time.

  

GUITAR IN

: Connects an instrument, such as a guitar or the output of 

another device via a shielded cable.  
Plugging into this jack automatically puts power to the unit.

  

GUITAR OUT

: Sends the input signal. Connect to the input of an 

amplifier or another device via a shielded cable.

  

GATE IN

: Connect right after a device to which you’d like to add the 

noise gate circuitry, such as a preamp in of an amplifier or a distortion 
pedal. Refer to the connection examples. (See Figure B)

  

GATE OUT

: Sends the gated signal. Connect to an amplifier or another 

device via a shielded cable.

  

EXT DC input

: Be sure to use a center negative external DC 9V power 

supply. (AC/DC adapter etc.)  
When using this jack, the internal battery is switched off.
