DOD Mini Volume Pedal Owner's Manual [SVN]

Features:

• Compact form factor takes up minimal pedalboard space
• Long throw for complete control
• High-quality 500 kΩ high-cycle potentiometer for smooth volume adjustment
• Built-in treble bleed circuit prevents treble loss at lower volume settings
• Removable rubber feet for pedalboard mounting
• 1/4" TS input and output jacks
• Non-slip treadle surface
• Robust construction

Setup:

1. Turn off your amplifier and connect the cables (see connection diagram below).
2. Turn down the amplifier's volume, press the DOD Mini Volume Pedal's treadle all the way down, then turn on the amplifier.
3. Slowly increase the amplifier's volume until your desired level is reached.

Connection Diagram Description:

The diagram shows two guitar pedals connected in series. The first pedal, labeled 'Effect Pedals', has 'In' and 'Out' jacks. The DOD Mini Volume Pedal is connected after the 'Effect Pedals'. It has 'In' and 'Out' jacks. The 'In' jack of the DOD pedal is connected to the 'Out' jack of the preceding effect pedal. The 'Out' jack of the DOD pedal is connected to the amplifier. A label indicates 'USE ONLY UNBALANCED TS CABLES'.

***IMPORTANT USAGE NOTE***

Two hex screws on the bottom of the pedal are part of the treadle adjustment mechanism. If they loosen over time, slightly loosen these screws and then retighten them. This will re-tension the main treadle linkage against the gear mechanism. Do NOT remove these screws or operate the pedal while the screws are loose. This can cause improper gear alignment and lead to pedal failure. There are no user-serviceable components inside the pedal. Under no circumstances should you open the pedal.

Instructions for Compliance and Safety

The following is indicative for use at low altitudes; do not use this product above 2000 m (approximately 6560 ft).

The symbols shown above are internationally recognized symbols that warn of potential hazards with electrical products. A lightning bolt with an arrowhead in an equilateral triangle means that dangerous voltages are present in the unit. An exclamation mark in an equilateral triangle means that the user should refer to the user manual. These symbols indicate that there are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the unit. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening the housing for any reason will void the manufacturer's warranty.

WARNING REGARDING MAINS PLUG

A molded mains plug that has been cut off from the cord is unsafe. Dispose of the cut-off plug at an appropriate disposal site. NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INSERT A DAMAGED OR CUT MAINS PLUG INTO A 13-Amp socket. Do not use the mains plug without the fuse cover fitted. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer. Replacement fuses are 13 amps and MUST be approved by ASTA in accordance with BS1362.

Electrical Safety:

• UNPLUG THIS APPARATUS DURING LIGHTNING STORMS OR WHEN UNUSED FOR LONG PERIODS.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades, one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
• Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
• ON/OFF SWITCH: The ON/OFF switch used in this unit does not disconnect the unit from the mains.
• DISCONNECT FROM MAINS: The plug must be accessible for use. For cabinet installation or installation where the plug is not accessible, an all-pole main switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole must be incorporated into the wiring of the cabinet or building. If connected to a 240 V supply, an appropriate CSA/UL certified power cord must be used for this supply.
