User manual MARSHALL EFFECT PEDAL RG-1 REGENERATOR

[. . . ] For over 40 years the Marshall name has been synonymous with the greatest guitar tones in music. We have worked hand in hand with guitarists from all levels throughout the world to maintain and improve that special ingredient, `The Marshall Sound. ' Our range of effects pedals gives the opportunity to augment the classic Marshall tone to add Marshall character to a guitar set-up. Do not expose the apparatus to rain or moisture. Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids should be placed on or near the apparatus. [. . . ] It is a stereo modulation pedal recreating six different modulation modes for you to explore giving you full control over the modulation time, modulation depth and regeneration of every mode creating a truly awesome stereo sound field. Below is a complete run down of the Regenerator's features for your information. We have also enclosed a number of suggested settings to help guide you. It should be remembered that these are only suggested settings and you should really experiment as much as possible. Setting Up Always use good quality shielded leads. Always use 9V regulated DC supply with centre negative rated at 80mA or above. Although it may seem obvious the first action in achieving a good effected sound (be it duration / compression etc. ) is to find the perfect bypassed sound. This will then allow the correct level to be set with the effect unit to allow a cut or boost in volume and a realistic tone. On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume) to a setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to get unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal shaping on the amplifier preamp. Features 1. 'In' Jack Socket This is the input jack for connection to your guitar or to the output of another effects pedal when linking pedals together. 2. 'Expression' Socket An expression pedal can be connected to this socket to control the modulation speed. Moving the pedal overrides the speed control on the pedal allowing you to increase/decrease the control as you perform. 2 3 ENGLISH 3. 'Out 1 / Left' Jack Socket - Passive Bypass Out 1 is connected to a passive bypass circuit. The passive bypass ensures complete tonal integrity by disconnecting the output of the effects circuit when not in operation. When a jack is connected to Out 1 the pedal operates in mono mode. Step Phaser Adding a crystal staircase effect to the phaser mode allows you to trip around its sweeping textures. Get those good vibrations with this swirling vintage vibe mode. Vintage Vibe 4. 'Out 2 /Right' Jack Socket - Spill-Over Out 2 is connected to a spill-over circuit. When the pedal is switched off and the regen it has produced is allowed to 'spill' and rapidly decay over your playing while the input feeding the effects circuit is switched off. When a jack is connected to Out 2 the pedal operates in mono mode. When jacks are connected to Out 1 & Out 2 the pedal operates in Stereo mode, the 2nd output's phase is inversed creating an even more spacious modulation. 6. Speed Controls the speed of the modulation tail from fully anticlockwise, providing slowly sweeping sounds, to fully clockwise, generating fast vibrato. 7. [. . . ] Phaser A rich phasing effect making your sound swell with energy, creating fluid waves which wash around your tone. 11. DC Input For input of a 9V DC centre negative regulated adaptor should you not wish to use batteries. 4 5 ENGLISH Trouble Shooting CHECK PEDAL CONTROLS CHECK GUITAR Battery Replacement 1. To replace the battery, open the easily accessed coin screw battery cover plate by loosening screw as shown, then disconnect the battery connector lead.
