2. VOLUME PEDAL
(continued)
REQUIRED CABLE:
Because volume pedals have two connections and Kismet only has a single
input, a special cable or adapter is required. The required cable has STEREO -to- DUAL MONO
connections, with one TRS plug and two TS plugs. The Hosa STP-203 is an example.
CONNECTIONS:
Connect the stereo plug to Kismet’s expression input, the RING plug to the
input of the volume pedal, and the TIP plug to output of the volume pedal.
POWER:
Do not use powered volume pedals with Kismet. That includes volume pedals with gain
or a buffer. The only specific exception is a volume pedal that uses power only to vary internal
resistances via an opto-coupler and has an entirely passive signal path.
EXTRA SETTINGS
: Some volume pedals have knobs that can limit the minimum or maximum
settings. It is best to set the output so that it reaches the full 0-100% range. Anything less will
require calibration (Page 17).
3. CONTROL VOLTAGE (CV) SOURCE
(Must follow full instructions at www.ramblefx.com)
Kismet can accept certain devices that provide a control voltage. This is beyond the scope of this
User Guide. Not all devices are compatible. Refer to manufacturer’s specifications when determin-
ing compatibility.
Voltages over 5V can cause damage.

SETTING EXPRESSION CONTROL
Expression control is set by saving all five knob positions twice: once for the “heel” settings, and
once for the “toe” settings. Settings can be changed before or during a save.
