Key Features:

• Samples and sustains your guitar signal, creating an ambient pad to play over.
• Infinite mode can add and sustain an indefinite number of layers which gradually morph together.
• Footswitch control can be set to latching or momentary with MASH functionality.
• Simple controls to adjust sustain level, fade in and release/decay.
• Connect to the TonePrint app to access an expanded array of parameters and create your own custom TonePrints.

Setup

To set up your INIFINITE MINI SAMPLE SUSTAINER pedal, follow these steps:

1. Connect a standard 9V DC power adapter (included) to the DC IN jack on the pedal. Ensure the power supply is center-negative.
2. Connect your guitar or other instrument to the INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal.
3. Connect the OUTPUT jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain.

Controls and Operation

The INIFINITE MINI SAMPLE SUSTAINER pedal features intuitive controls for shaping your sustained sounds:

• LEVEL Knob: Controls the overall output volume of the sustained signal. Adjust to balance the effect with your dry signal.
• FADE IN Knob: Determines the speed at which the sustained sound fades in after activation. Turn clockwise for a slower, more gradual fade-in.
• DECAY Knob: Controls the rate at which the sustained sound fades out after the footswitch is released (in momentary mode) or deactivated (in latching mode). Turn clockwise for a longer decay time.
• Footswitch: This multi-functional footswitch controls the activation and behavior of the sustain effect. It supports both latching and momentary modes, and features MASH technology for expressive control.

Operating Modes:

• Latching Mode: Press and release the footswitch to activate the sustain effect. The effect remains active until you press and release the footswitch again.
• Momentary Mode: Press and hold the footswitch to activate the sustain effect. The effect remains active only while the footswitch is held down, disengaging upon release.
• MASH Functionality: In momentary mode, pressing harder on the footswitch (MASH) can introduce additional expressive control over the effect, depending on the TonePrint loaded.
• Infinite Mode: This mode allows for layering multiple sustained sounds, creating rich, evolving soundscapes. Each new sustained note or chord will blend with the previous layers.

TonePrint App Connectivity:

The INIFINITE MINI SAMPLE SUSTAINER pedal is TonePrint enabled. Connect your pedal to the TonePrint app (available for iOS and Android) via USB to access a vast library of custom-tuned effects created by world-renowned artists, or to design your own unique TonePrints by adjusting an expanded array of parameters.
