Controls and Connections:

• Script Switch: Toggles between two distinct phasing modes. One mode provides a classic, old-school phase sound, while the other offers a more modern phase effect.
• Speed Knob: Controls the overall rate or speed of the phasing effect. Turning clockwise increases the speed, while turning counter-clockwise decreases it.
• Footswitch: Engages or bypasses the effect. When the effect is engaged, the LED indicator will illuminate. This pedal features true-bypass switching, ensuring no tone loss when the effect is disengaged.
• IN Jack: 1/4-inch mono input jack for connecting your instrument (guitar or bass).
• OUT Jack: 1/4-inch mono output jack for connecting to your amplifier or other effects pedals.
• 9V DC Power Input: Connects to a 9V DC power adapter (negative tip).

1. Power Connection: Connect a 9V DC power adapter (negative tip, not included) to the 9V DC input jack on the pedal.

3. Amplifier Connection: Connect the OUT jack of the pedal to your amplifier's input or to the input of another effects pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
4. Ensure all connections are secure before turning on your amplifier.

6. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Once all connections are made, ensure your power adapter is plugged into a wall outlet. The pedal does not have a separate power switch; it powers on when connected to a power supply.
2. Engage/Bypass Effect: Press the footswitch to toggle the phaser effect on or off. The LED indicator will light up when the effect is active.
3. Adjust Speed: Rotate the SPEED knob to control the rate of the phasing sweep. Experiment with different settings to find your desired modulation speed.
4. Select Phase Mode: Use the SCRIPT switch to choose between the two distinct phasing characteristics. Flip the switch to hear the difference and select the mode that best suits your sound.
5. Experiment: Combine the SPEED knob and SCRIPT switch settings to explore a wide range of vintage and modern phase sounds.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

• Connections: Periodically check all cable connections for wear and tear. Replace damaged cables to ensure optimal performance.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Sound:
  • Check all cable connections (instrument to IN, OUT to amplifier).
  • Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and functioning.
