2.5 Linking Multiple Pedals Together
Multiple pedals can be linked together using the 1/4"
“Link”
jacks located on either side of the pedal.
Using a standard 1/4" patch cable, you can connect either
of the pedal’s
“Link”
jacks, which are wired
in parallel, from an SB-1 pedal to either
“Link”
jack of another SB-1 pedal. This same process can be
applied to link additional SB-1 pedals.
When multiple SB-1 pedals are linked together, each pedal
’s footswitch
has the ability to
simultaneously engage or bypass all of the linked pedals. However, each linked pedal retains its
specific settings, including colour, brightness/intensity, speed and mode. For example, if the first
linked SB-1 pedal is set to the colour red and the second linked SB-1 pedal is set to the colour green,
the first pedal will output red while
the second pedal will output green regardless of which pedal’s
footswitch is pressed. In this scenario, the brightness/intensity of each colour is determined by the
position of the
“
Bright / Speed
”
control knob of the associated pedal. The same is true for the speed
parameter when the variable colour setting is selected on any linked pedals.
It is important to note that each linked SB-1 pedal will react accordingly to whichever mode, either
“Momentary” or “Latched”, is selected. For example, if the first l
inked SB-1 pedal is set to
“Momentary” and the second linked SB
-
1 pedal is set to “Latched”, the first
pedal will only output the
selected colour (and its corresponding parameters) as long as the footswitch is pressed while the
second pedal will alternate between either engaging or bypassing the selected colour (and its
corresponding parameters). With that said, unless a specific effect is desired, it is recommended to
have all linked SB-1 pedals set to the same mode.
3.0 CURRENT LIMIT
The pedal can handle a total current draw of 2A before the internal fuse blows. If the fuse blows, the
pedal will stop working and you will need to contact an authorized service technician for assistance.
To avoid this issue, it is important to know that the longer the LED strip is, the more current it draws
from the pedal. On average, our LED strips consume 1A for approximately every 40
”
. Therefore, as
long as the LED strip’s length is
8
0” or less, the total current draw will be within the
2A limit.
4.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue:
LED strip is connected to the
“Out”
and the
pedal’s footswitch and
bypass indicator light are
both working, but the LED strip is not illuminating.
Solution:
If the
pedal’s footswitch and
bypass indicator light are working, the fault is most likely the
USB cable or the LED strip. Make sure that the USB cable and the LED strip are both connected
correctly and not damaged in any way. If no issues are apparent, replace the USB cable and test to
see if the LED strip illuminates. If the LED strip is still not illuminating, the LED strip is most likely
damaged and will need to be replaced. In the event that the LED strip is still not illuminating after
these solutions have been tried, you should contact an authorized service technician for assistance.
Issue:
Everything appears to be connected correctly, but the pedal is not working.
