OVERVIEW

Control Panel

  Preset knob

Controls the currently engaged preset. Once 
a parameter changes, the LED will start to 
blink, indicating that a change has been 
made to the current preset. Long-press the 
Preset knob again to save your changes. 
BIAS Modulation comes with 20 presets in 
total, with 10 presets assigned to each bank. 
Press the knob to switch between the 1st 
bank (red) and 2nd bank (blue).

  DEPTH

Controls the depth of the primary LFO (BIAS 
Modulation also includes a secondary LFO, 
which is discussed later in this manual).

  RATE

Controls the speed of the primary LFO.

  INTENSITY

Controls the level of the modulation effect.

  TONE

Controls a “tilt” filter (bipolar shelving filter). 
Turning the Tone control clockwise from its 
noon position attenuates low frequencies while 
simultaneously boosting highs. Turning the 
Tone control anti-clockwise has the opposite 
effect, boosting low frequencies while simulta-
neously cutting highs.

  TWEAK 1

The function of this control knob depends on 
the module and effect type that’s engaged. 
(see the Modulation Module section of this 
manual).

  TWEAK 2

The function of this control knob depends on 
the module and effect type that’s engaged (see 
the Modulation Module section of this manual).

  LEVEL

Controls the overall output level.

  LFO

Selects among the available LFO waveforms: 
Round(sine), Triangle(Saw) and Pulse(Square). 
You can select from additional LFO waveforms 
in BIAS Pedal software.

more information)

  USB

Micro USB port for supplying power to the 
pedal and for integrating the pedal with BIAS 
Pedal (desktop) software

  MIDI In/Thru

Supports standard MIDI communication using 
a 5-pin MIDI connector (see the MIDI section 
of this manual for more information)

  Wireless button and associated LED

There are 3 different LED states for the 
Wireless button:

>

 LED blinks slowly - Indicates the pedal is 

on standby.

>

 LED blinks rapidly - Indicates wireless 

connection is in pairing mode and ready to 
connect with BIAS Pedal mobile.

>

 LED is constantly lit - IIndicates the pedal is 

connecting with BIAS Pedal mobile software.

  9V DC Power Jack

Supports a 9V DC power supply with negative 
tips. The minimum current draw is 270mA.

BIAS Modulation comes with footswitches labeled 

A, B and C and a Tap Tempo footswitch. The A, B 

and C footswitches allow you to alternately engage 

and bypass presets in BIAS Modulation (see the 

Footswitch Mapping section of this manual for 

more information).
Yo u can tap the Tap Tempo footswitch twice, and the duration between taps will determine the 

BPM value. (See the Tap Tempo and BPM sections of this manual for more information.)
