Connecting
Input jacks - Use MONO for mono input and both MONO
andSTEREOifconnectingastereosource.
If you run 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.
Notice that it is possible to select between true bypass and
buffered bypass mode via a dip switch located under the
battery cover.

Notice that too high settings might introduce internal feedback, resulting in a squealing noise that in
most cases is unwanted in flanging effects.

DELAY TIME
Typicaldelayvaluesforflangingeffectsarearound1-2mswhereasChoruseffectsoccurwithdelay
times around 10 ms. Short delay times give very intense, “jet engine”-type sounds with plenty high-end
frequencies. Longer delay times give the slightly darker more “tube”-type sounds.
