The 'LEVEL' knob controls the playback volume of your recorded loops. Adjust it to balance the loop volume with your live instrument signal.

6. Maintenance

• Clean the pedal with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Store the pedal in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Disconnect power when not in use for extended periods.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Sound: Check all cable connections (instrument to input, output to amp). Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and meets specifications. Adjust the 'LEVEL' knob.
• Recording Issues: Ensure the input signal is strong enough. Check if the loop memory is full (though it has unlimited overdubbing, initial recording time is 5 minutes).
• USB Connection Not Recognized: Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the pedal is powered on when connecting to the computer.
• Unwanted Noise: Ensure all cables are properly shielded. Try a different power supply if hum or buzz persists.
