New RISE/FALL features give you continuous rising and falling effects unavailable with previous phasers. You can use the PH-2's pedal to set the RATE to the tempo. [. . . ] * When set to MIN, the filter remains off. With the DEPTH knob, adjust the depth of the filter change. * The filter effect stops when this is set to MIN with the STAGE switch set to anything besides FALL or RISE. When you have finished making the connections (p. 10), press the pedal switch to turn the effect on (the CHECK indicator is lit). Set the RATE, DEPTH, and RES knobs at the center position. With the RES (Resonance) Knob, adjust the strength of the filter effect. * Raising the RES setting (turning it clockwise) makes it easier for the sound to become distorted. If it appears that the sound is becoming distorted, try lowering the RES setting. 12 Setting the Tempo with the PH-2's Pedal Switch * RATE cycles for use with the tempo settings can be made in the range of 0. 2­16 seconds. Step on, and continue depressing the PH-2's pedal switch for at least two seconds. If the pedal switch is pressed when the effect is on, the CHECK indicator goes out, and the effect is turned off for two seconds. If the pedal switch is pressed when the effect is off, the CHECK indicator turns red, and the effect is turned on for two seconds. 2. Remove the old battery from the battery housing, and remove the battery snap connected to it. 10). You cannot input the tempo with the external foot switch: Is the connector cord designed for stereo use? Have you connected a latch-type foot switch (such as the optional BOSS FS-5L)? The effect doesn't change: Could the RATE knob be set to MIN? If the STAGE switch is at a setting other than RISE or FALL, is the DEPTH knob set to MIN? 19 Setting samples Vintage Phase Shift 1 Standard Phase Shift Vintage Phase Shift 2 Deep Phase Shift 20 Setting samples Hard Resonance Sound Standard FALL/RISE Sound Random Step Sound Tremolo Sound 21 Setting memo ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 22 Specifications PH-2: Phase Shifter Nominal Input Level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -20 dBu Input Impedance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 M Nominal Output Level . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -20 dBu Output Impedance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 k or greater Residual Noise. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -92 dBu (IHF-A, Type. ) Controls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
