5. Controls and Functions

- RATE Knob: This knob controls the speed of the chorus effect. Turning it clockwise increases the modulation speed, while turning it counter-clockwise decreases it.
- DEPTH Knob: This knob adjusts the intensity or depth of the chorus effect. Turning it clockwise increases the depth of the modulation, resulting in a more pronounced chorus sound. Turning it counter-clockwise reduces the depth for a more subtle effect.
- Footswitch: Engages or disengages the chorus effect. When the effect is active, the LED indicator will illuminate.
- LED Indicator: Illuminates when the chorus effect is active. When the LED is off, the pedal is in true bypass mode.

6. Setup
- Power Connection: Connect a DC 9V center-negative AC adapter (not included) to the power input jack on the top of the pedal. Ensure the power source is stable.
- Input Connection: Connect your electric guitar or the output of a preceding effect pedal to the 1/4 inch monaural IN jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard instrument cable.
- Output Connection: Connect the 1/4 inch monaural OUT jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier's input or the input of the next effect pedal in your signal chain using a standard instrument cable.
