3. Output Connection: Connect the pedal's OUTPUT jack to your amplifier's input or to the next pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.

4. Operating Instructions

The Caline CP-62 features three control knobs to shape your tremolo effect:

• DEPTH Knob: Controls the intensity or amplitude of the tremolo effect. Turning this knob clockwise increases the depth, making the volume fluctuations more pronounced. Turning it counter-clockwise reduces the depth for a more subtle effect.
• RATE Knob: Adjusts the speed of the tremolo effect. Clockwise rotation increases the speed, resulting in faster volume pulsations. Counter-clockwise rotation slows down the tremolo rate.
• LEVEL Knob: Controls the overall output volume of the pedal when engaged. Use this to balance the tremolo effect's volume with your bypassed signal or to achieve a slight boost.

To engage or disengage the effect, press the footswitch. The LED indicator will light up when the effect is active.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the pedal in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Power Supply: Always use a regulated 9V DC (center negative) power supply to prevent damage to the unit. Disconnect power when not in use for extended periods.
• Connections: Periodically check all cable connections for wear and tear. Ensure jacks are free of dust and debris.
