User manual ROCKTRON THEPEDAL

[. . . ] Improper use of this equipment could result in increased RF emissions, which may or may not interfere with other electronic products. To insure against this possibility, always use good shielded cables for all audio input and output connections. [. . . ] The Pedal is housed in an ultra-rugged chassis with a slightly recessed Threshold control to protect against any accidental bumps which might alter your setting. This user's manual will introduce you to The Pedal and its various functions. After reading it carefully, please keep it for future reference. HUSH In most applications, the signal from an instrument being played is much louder than the noise level. Therefore, much of the noise is not heard when an instrument is being played. However, when you stop playing or let a note decay, the instrument level drops below the noise level and the noise becomes much more audible. Setting the THRESHOLD controls just above the level of the noise causes The Pedal to begin to decrease the output level so that the noise is never heard. The Pedal incorporates the latest advancements in HUSH noise reduction technology. HUSH The Pedal's discreet threshold control circuit utilizes a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) as a downward expander which can control the gain between the input and output of The Pedal from unity to over 60dB of gain reduction. When the input signal is above the threshold level set by the THRESHOLD control, the VCA will remain at unity gain (i. e. As the amplitude drops below the threshold point, downward expansion will begin. When downward expansion begins, the VCA acts like an electronic volume control and gradually begins decreasing the output signal relative to the input signal. For example, if the input signal were to drop below the threshold point by 10dB, the output would drop approximately 12dB. [. . . ] 8= Battery Compartment screws - remove to access battery. Connections When using the HUSH The Pedal in line between your guitar effects and amplifier the pedal should always be the last device in the signal chain. The HUSH The Pedal can also be used in your amplifier's effects loop. [. . . ]
