• Using a 9V Battery: Connect a 9V battery to the included battery clip. The battery will hang externally from the pedal.
• Using a Power Adapter: Connect a 9V DC center-negative power adapter (minimum 30mA, 500mA recommended) to the DC 9V input jack on the pedal.

Connecting to Your Rig

• Connect your guitar or other instrument to the IN jack of the CP-66 pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
• Connect the OUT jack of the CP-66 pedal to your amplifier or the input of another effects pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
• Ensure all connections are secure before applying power.

Operating Instructions

Once the pedal is connected and powered, you can begin to explore its flanger effects.

• Engaging the Effect: Press the footswitch to turn the effect on. The LED indicator will illuminate. Press it again to bypass the effect; the LED will turn off.
• Adjusting the Sound:
  • Turn the SPEED knob clockwise for a faster flanger sweep, and counter-clockwise for a slower sweep.
  • Adjust the REGEN knob to increase or decrease the feedback. Higher settings create more intense, resonant, and sometimes self-oscillating flanger sounds.
  • The WIDTH knob controls the overall depth of the flanger effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced and wider sweep.
  • Use the DELAY knob to set the initial delay time of the flanger. This significantly alters the character of the effect, from subtle chorus-like sounds to distinct jet-plane swooshes.
• Experiment with different combinations of the four knobs to discover a wide array of flanger, chorus, vibrato, and unique modulated tones.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the pedal with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the pedal in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
• Connections: Periodically check all cables and connections for wear and tear.
