5. Operation
5.1 Signal chain placement
The HALL OF FAME 2 can be used several ways depending on your situation. While there isn’t necessarily a right and wrong use, here are the most common scenarios.
Example 1: Before the amp’s input
When using the HALL OF FAME 2 X4 before the amp’s input, it is generally best to place it after your other pedals. If any stereo effects are used before the reverb pedal,
you can preserve this stereo signal by connecting to both of the HOF’s inputs and sending the output jacks to different amps or to a stereo input on a mixer.

Example 2: In the amp’s FX loop
The HALL OF FAME 2 X4 input can handle a very wide range of signal levels thanks
to high internal headroom, and can easily be used with guitar or line-level
signals. Simply connect the amp’s Send jack to the HOF input, and connect the
output to the amp’s Return jack.
5.2 MASH switch
The MASH function on the HALL OF FAME 2 X4 is a very exciting and innovative
feature that allows continuous control of a desired parameter through pressure
on one of the footswitches. This opens up countless creative possibilities,
particularly with the user-defined TonePrints.
The standard toggle function of the footswitches react to single, quick presses
of the switch engage a preset. If you press the switch slightly harder and hold
it down, the MASH function will engage, causing the associated LED to light up
slightly. As you press down harder on the switch, the LED lights up brighter and
the parameter that has been assigned to this function will change accordingly.
Releasing the footswitch will exit the MASH function and the LED will turn
off, but the pedal will still be engaged. This operation is the same for MASH
parameters assigned to any of the 4 footswitches.
Note that the pressure needed to reach the maximum MASH level is only
10 kg (around 20 pounds), which can be achieved just by squeezing with your
fingers. You shouldn’t need to lean too much weight on the pedal. With some
practice, this feature will become familiar and expressive much like a wah or
volume pedal.
Using the TonePrint app, you can assign your own parameters (up to 3!) to this
unique feature and save a custom preset that allows you to create sounds that
very few reverb units have been capable of before. See Chapter 3 for more details
on TonePrints.
