Connections
●
LEFT IN
is a monophonic signal input. In a mono signal chain, use this input exclusively.
●
RIGHT IN
is an input for the second signal source. A stereo setup can be achieved by simultaneously connecting
two mono signal sources to the LEFT IN and RIGHT IN inputs. The Astronaut V doesn’t support TRS connections.
●
LEFT OUT
is the left channel output. Connect it to the signal receiver. In a mono signal chain, use this output
exclusively.
●
RIGHT OUT
is the right channel output. Connect it to the signal receiver. A stereo setup can be achieved by
simultaneously connecting the LEFT OUT and RIGHT OUT outputs to two mono inputs. The Astronaut V doesn’t
support TRS connections.
●
CTRL
is an input for external control sources. It accepts MIDI type A, single or dual momentary footswitch,
expression pedal, or analog triggers (S-trig/V-trig).
Read more about the CTRL input in the
section.
●
POWER IN
is the power supply input (9-12VDC).
●
USB Type C
is a port for connecting the pedal to a computer for servicing, firmware updates, configuration and
mode switching.
Connection Modes
MONO Mode
LEFT IN is the main mono input. If you are using the pedal with a
mono signal source, use this input exclusively.
Connect the signal source to the LEFT IN input, then connect the LEFT OUT output to the signal receiver.
Using RIGHT
IN in mono setups is not recommended.
MONO TO STEREO Mode
In order to convert a mono signal to stereo, connect the signal
source to LEFT IN, then connect LEFT OUT and RIGHT OUT to the
signal receiver.
The dry signal will be placed in the center, while the wet signal will be spread across the stereo image depending on
the STEREO knob’s setting.
STEREO / DUAL MONO Mode
When both LEFT IN and RIGHT IN are engaged, the pedal goes
into dual mono mode and the channels are processed
independently.
The dry signal in the left channel goes to LEFT OUT while the dry signal in the right channel goes to RIGHT OUT.
In this mode, you can plug either a stereo source or two mono sources into the pedal. The two mono sources will
be processed in parallel.
DOUBLE PROCESSING Mode
Aside from standard use cases, independent left & right channel
processing allows using the pedal in mono for double signal
processing.
Plug a mono signal source into LEFT IN, connect RIGHT OUT to the signal receiver, then connect LEFT OUT to RIGHT
IN. The incoming signal will be processed by the pedal twice. Please note that control knob ranges are significantly
altered in this mode. The pedal goes into self-oscillation much quicker and overloads may happen at various internal
gain stages. However, with a bit of practice you can achieve very peculiar results in this mode. Experiment away!
