[. . . ] Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through any openings. The power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT. THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. [. . . ] Therefore, a quiet input signal to the preamp will result in a quiet output signal. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access the following Hush parameters: Parameter HUSH I/O Description The HUSH I/O parameter simply determines whether the HUSH circuit is active for the current preset. The HUSH THRESHOLD parameter determines the level at which downward expansion begins. For example, if the HUSH THRESHOLD was set at -20dB and the input signal dropped below -20dB, downward expansion would begin. HUSH THRESH 27 PRE EQ (EXPERT) Function The PRE EQ (EXPERT) function is available in all presets, and allows you to shape the tone prior to the distortion stage. Considerable tone variations can be achieved by modifying these pre-distort EQ parameters. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access the following PRE EQ parameters: Parameter LF LEVEL Description The pre-LF (low frequency) LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the low frequencies from -15dB to +6dB prior to the distortion stage. The pre-LF (low frequency) FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a frequency band with an upper frequency between 63Hz and 500Hz to be cut or boosted by the pre-LF LEVEL parameter. The pre-MID LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the mid-band frequencies from -15dB to +12dB prior to the distortion stage. The pre-MID FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a mid-band center frequency between 500Hz and 4KHz to be cut or boosted via the pre-MID LEVEL parameter. The pre-MID BANDWIDTH parameter determines how wide or narrow the bandwith of the selected mid-band frequency is (in octaves). A small bandwidth only boosts or cuts frequencies close to the center frequency, while a large bandwidth affects the level of frequencies up to two octaves from the center frequency. LF FREQ MID LEVEL MID FREQ MID BW 28 POST EQ (EXPERT) Function The POST EQ (EXPERT) function is available in all presets, and allows you shape the tone after it has passed through the distortion stage. These post-distortion EQ parameters have a more dramatic effect on the overall tone than the pre-distortion parameters. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these POST EQ parameters: Parameter BASS LVL Description The post-BASS LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the low frequencies by 15dB after the distortion stage. The post-BASS FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a center frequency between 63Hz and 500Hz to be cut or boosted by the post-BASS LEVEL parameter. The DEPTH parameter determines the modulation depth of the phase shift effect. Higher parameter settings result in the sweep of the filtering effect occurring over a wider frequency range. The RATE parameter deterrnines the speed at which the phase shifted signal is modulated. The RESONANCE parameter adds feedback to the Phaser so that it has a more pronounced effect. The STAGES parameter determines how many stages of phase shift are to be active. A parameter setting of "4" produces a result similar to a vintage Phase 90, while a setting of "6" emulates other phaser pedals. RATE RESONANCE STAGES 32 FLANGER Function Flanging involves splitting the input signal into at least two individual delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice 2), then modulating these delayed signals so that, when summed back with the direct signal, phase cancellations will occur at some frequencies while peaks in the response will occur at others. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access the following FLANGER parameters: Parameter Description FLANGER I/O The FLANGER I/O parameter determines whether the Flanger is active or bypassed for the current preset. LEVEL 1 The LEVEL 1 parameter determines the volume of Voice 1 relative to Voice 2. Tip: Keep the settings of these levels high and use the DIR/EFF mix parameter in the Mixer function to control the overall amount of flanged signal. PAN 1 DEPTH 1 The PAN 1 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel. The DEPTH 1 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of Voice 1. Lower DEPTH settings produce more subtle effects, while higher settings will result in a more drastic effect. [. . . ] WARNING !! Pressing the STORE button at this time will permanently erase all user presets and replace them with the original factory presets. If you have altered and stored presets which you do not want to erase, turn the FUNCTION SELECT control to exit this function. 65 Step 4 Press the STORE button at this time to initiate the All Restore procedure and erase all current Taboo Twin presets, replacing them with the original factory presets. The Taboo Twin will display "INITIALIZING" as the Taboo Twin memory is restored. INITIALIZING After the All Restore process is completed, the display should read "ERRORS 0". This is the number of bytes that the Taboo Twin found that did not initialize properly. [. . . ]
