CHAPTER 2. ANATOMY AND FUNCTIONS

5.
ENGAGE
- This footswitch turns the filter section of the Real
Deal on and off. When the engage light is turned off, the high
and low pass filters are bypassed. In bypass, the preamp stages
and summing stages remain active, allowing both the INPUT
(TS / TRS) and EXT MIC inputs to be combined with no tonal
coloration.
Note:
When the filters are bypassed, the CROSSOVER knob
will have no effect.
Note:
When the filters are bypassed, the output volume of the
REAL DEAL will increase. Use the VOLUME knob to compen-
sate as necessary.
6.
VOLUME
This knob sets the master output level of the pedal.
7.
PICKUP
This knob controls the gain of the pickup channel
before the low pass filter.
8.
CROSSOVER
This knob controls the frequency at which the
high pass and low pass filters overlap. This knob is calibrated
such that the crossover frequency can be set anywhere between
300Hz - 3kHz.
9.
MICROPHONE
This knob controls the gain of the microphone
channel before the high pass filter
10.
DUAL SOURCE
This toggle determines whether the signal on
the TIP or the RING of the INPUT jack is sent to the microphone
channel. When in the down position, DUAL SOURCE MODE is
ON. The audio on the RING of the INPUT jack, as well as the
signal from the EXT MIC input, are sent to the MICROPHONE
preamp channel. In DUAL SOURCE MODE, the audio on the
TIP of the input jack is sent to the PICKUP preamp channel.
The DUAL SOURCE mode is intended for a variety of pickup
and microphone configurations:
•
Active or passive on-board guitar electronics that provide
separate audio signals on the TIP and the RING of a TRS
connection should be plugged into the INPUT jack with a
TRS cable.
