If the pedal runs on battery, we recommend removing the
mono input jack to preserve battery power when you don’t
play.
Output jacks - Connect to another pedal or directly into
an amp or mixer. Use MONO for mono setups and both
MONOandSTEREOforstereosetups.
Note that it is possible to select between true bypass and
buffered bypass mode via a dip switch located under the
battery cover.
