Troubleshooting

No sound output

Check that the input and output cables are correctly connected. Ensure the pedal is powered on and the effect is not bypassed. Verify that the volume knob is not turned down.

Pedal not recognized by Neuro Editor/App

Ensure the USB cable or Source Audio Connector is properly connected. Restart the Neuro Editor/App and the pedal. Check for software updates for the Neuro Editor/App.

Unwanted noise or hiss

Try different power supplies to rule out noise from the power source. Adjust the 'Tone' control on the pedal. Ensure all cables are of good quality and properly shielded.

Compression sounds too aggressive or unnatural

Adjust the 'Threshold' and 'Ratio' controls. Experiment with different compression 'Styles'. Utilize the 'Mix' control to blend the compressed signal with the uncompressed signal. Fine-tune with the Neuro Editor for deeper control.
