CHAPTER 2. ANATOMY AND FUNCTIONS
6
1.
DC 18V
- Use only the 18-Volt, 300mA, negative tip power
supply that came with your Pigtronix Resotron. Using the wrong
power supply is likely to result in a damaged pedal.
2.
INPUT
- Effect input. Plug in your instrument here.
3.
OUT
- Effect output. Plug in your amp, mixer, or DI box here.
4.
EXPRESSION
- The expression pedal input allows remote con-
trol of the filter cutoff. A passive foot-controller or active (0-5V)
CV signal can be used with the EXPRESSION jack to modulate
the cutoff frequency of the filter in parallel with the on-board en-
velope and pitch tracking systems. When a passive expression
pedal is used, the onboard CUTOFF knob sets the maximum
sweep range. Since the envelope and pitch following signals are
wired in parallel with the expression input, you can effectively
use an expression pedal as a wah, with an envelope riding on
top of it!
Note: Use a TRS (Stereo) cable to connect a standard, low-
impedance (20K) foot controller to the EXPRESSION jack.
Note: Use a TS (Mono) cable to send control voltage (0-5V)
signals into the EXPRESSION jack.
5.
TRIGGER
- The trigger input is an auxiliary source for the en-
velope follower and pitch tracking system. When the TRIGGER
jack is in use, the audio signal at the INPUT jack is disconnected
from the envelope follower and pitch tracking system that modu-
lates the filter in the Resotron. When using the TRIGGER input,
it is recommended that the BLEND knob be set fully counter-
clockwise. This allows the signal feeding into the TRIGGER
jack to control the filtering of the signal from the INPUT jack.
Turning up the BLEND knob when using the TRIGGER input
will feed the audio from the TRIGGER jack directly through the
compressor and into the main audio path, in parallel with the
signal from the INPUT jack.
