Connections
Connections are located on the rear side of the control panel and protected
from dust and other sources of deterioration by the Persephone suitcase top
when closed. For the desktop version, we recommend to cover the unit with
a cloth when not used to avoid dust. To remove dust from the unit, make
sure the unit is turned off and clean it with a damp cloth only.
220V/110V
The Persephone has either a 220V or a 110V internal power supply. The
220V or 110V voltage is specified on the rear side. Always check the
voltage before plugging the unit in, especially if you are in a foreign
country. Never open the unit when it is switched on.
on/off
To turn the unit on, flick the on/off switch. When on, the LED on the front
panel is on.
Fuse
The Persephone has an internal fuse to avoid the risk of damages.
Pedal in
You may plug an expression pedal into the Pedal in jack 6,35 input. With
this pedal, you will be able to control the volume, but also the LFO
frequency in mode C (
See Modulation section, Mode C
).
out
out is the main audio out. Plug it to your amplifier audio in.
Beware! Plugging the audio out into the Pedal in will shut the
Persephone down and may be a cause of severe damages to the unit.
Recommended amplifier type
You may use all types of guitar amplifier. The Persephone sound generator
is 100% analogue, therefore, it can reach very high frequencies. Always turn
down the volume of your amplifier when you first play the Persephone to
avoid any damage to your loud speakers. If you add a little reverberation to
the sound it will sound great.
MIDI in/out
Connect to your MIDI devices to use the Persephone as a MIDI controller.
(See MIDI implementation).
