![]() What size are your pedals? The Neo, Standard, and Deluxe series pedals are in the 125B sized enclosure, 4.77" x 2.6" x 1.39" (121.1mm x 66mm x 35.3mm) not including knobs and switch caps. If you're using the MIDIBox, you'll need to make sure that its jumpers are set to "EMP" or "TIP ACTIVE" on any control ports you wish to use with your Neo Series pedal. You can also use a converter box like the Disaster Area / Chase Bliss MIDIBox. ![]() You can use a MIDI controller with a 1/4" output such as the Disaster Area Gen3 series, or you can use our Neo Link converter to connect them to a standard MIDI controller with 5-pin output. How can I hook up my Neo Series pedal to MIDI? There's no MIDI jack! The Neo Series pedals use a 1/4" jack to receive MIDI, similar to the pedals from Empress, Chase Bliss, and Meris. Some of our pedals may have more extensive MIDI capabilities depending on the pedal. Our Venture Series, Neo Series, and Super Series have MIDI capabilities, which allow the user to access presets, control the bypass remotely, and set the expression pedal value. What is MIDI, and why do some of your pedals have it? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a way for musical gear to communicate. Venture Series pedals should run on 9V only and require ~250mA. Super Series pedals should run on 9V only, and require ~125mA. Neo Series pedals should run on 9V only, and require ~80mA during normal use. Our Standard and Deluxe series pedals should run on 9V only, and require ~60mA. Riff, Litho Boost, and X-Ray run on 9V only, and require 30mA or less. Higher voltages result in increased headroom. Jubilee, Magnolia, Hot Pink, Princess Clang, Clang Championship Edition, and Royal Cream will run on any supply from 9V up to 18V. ![]() Then release the footswitch and turn Reverb down.ĭo your pedals run on 12V? 18V? How much current (mA) do they need? If you want delay and no reverb, set Delay and Repeat to anywhere you like, then hold down the footswitch and turn Reverb up. If you want reverb and no delay, set Delay and Repeat to midpoint, then hold down the footswitch and turn Reverb all the way counter-clockwise. Adjust it counter-clockwise for dark repeats, or clockwise for bright repeats. Start with the Repeat knob at its midpoint. Hold down the foot switch and turn the Reverb knob to control the delay volume. That will basically get you a super-short delay with lot of dark repeats and then the pedal kind of farts out. The delay section of the Sky-Fi has some quirks, but we can help you get it under control.Ī lot of the issues we hear about are caused by setting Delay and Repeat fully counter-clockwise. My Sky-Fi doesn't delay! Or my Sky-Fi has TOO much delay! Or it's acting weird! Newer versions of these pedals set the dry level at full volume when bypassed, but leave the mix knob active for the effect signal only. The pedal remembers your preference until you change it again. The LED will blink twice if you're in "hard" bypass mode, or five times if you're in "trails" mode. To disable trails and deactivate the mix knob in bypass, just hold the footswitch at power-on. If you plan to use the pedal in "full wet" mode, we recommend you disable trails and run in "hard bypass" mode. My pedal is cutting off the signal in bypass! Help! Older versions of our time-based effects (Reverb and Delay) may leave the Mix knob active when bypassed in "trails" mode. It's the only way to get the super-deep modulation we're known for! Venture Series pedals use the digital codec in bypass in order to perform stereo routing and phase correction. Everything else uses a digital dry path, in order to maintain the signal phase relationship between wet and dry effects. Don't worry, we have a great buffer and your signal is safe with us! Analog pedals including the Jubilee and Clang family are true-bypass using a gold-contact telecom quality and are more durable than any mechanical switch.ĭo your pedals have analog dry through? Neo Series time-based effects such as reverb and delay use the analog signal for the dry path. Our time-based effects (those in the Reverb and Delay categories) feature "trails" bypass. Everything else is digital, using either a 24-bit (Standard / Super / Neo Series) or 32-bit (Venture Series) DSP.Īre your pedals true bypass? Most of our pedals are buffered-bypass using a soft-touch footswitch and a solid-state relay. Are your pedals analog or digital? Our drive pedals (except Defender) are fully analog.
