FAQs

How do I save a preset?

Select your desired synth sound and adjust the knobs to customize it. Then, double-tap the preset footswitch to save your custom sound.

Can I use an expression pedal with this?

Yes, connect an expression pedal to the EXP input to control a key parameter for real-time effects.

How do I restore the factory presets?

Consult the user manual for instructions on restoring the factory presets.

What power supply does the pedal use?

The pedal requires a standard 9V DC power supply (not included).

How do I adjust the sensitivity?

Use the SENS control to adjust how your playing dynamics trigger the synthesizer.

Can I use this with a guitar?

While designed for bass, you may experiment with using it on a guitar to achieve interesting synth effects. The pedal may react differently than with a bass.

What is the CTRL knob for?

The CTRL knob allows you to adjust a key parameter for each of the eleven synth types. It varies depending on the preset, providing more tweakability for customizing your sound.

Troubleshooting

No sound or low volume.

Check all connections (input, output, power). Ensure the amp is turned on and volume is up. Verify the pedal is receiving power.

Synth sound not triggering correctly.

Adjust the SENS control to match your playing dynamics and bass output. Ensure the bass volume is adequate.

Sound is distorted.

Reduce the input signal level from your bass. Check the output level of the pedal.
