1. POWER

 Topowertheunit,insert4AAbatteries(included)orconnecta

SourceAudioSA1509VoltDCpowersupplytothe9VDCjack(A).

 Note:PowersupplymustbeREGULATED,minimum200mA,andusea

negativetipplug.Useofanon-SourceAudiopowersupplymaycause

damageandvoidthewarranty.

2. GUITAR/AUDIO CONNECTIONS

 Next,plugyourguitar(orotherinstrument)intothejacklabeled

GUITARIN(B)viaastandard¼-inchcable.Connectyouramp(or

otheraudiodevice)totheGUITAROUT(C)jack,againwithastandard

¼-inchcable.Bothinputandoutputaremonosignals.

 Note:TheunitwillnotpowerupuntilaMONO¼-inchplugisinsertedinto

theguitarinput.Thisistoconservepowerwhentheunitisrunningon

batteries.Don’tforgettounplugthecablefromtheinputwhentheunitis

notinuse—otherwisethebatterieswillcontinuetodrain.

3. SENSOR IN (optional)

 TouseyourTri-ModFlangerwithaHotHandsensor:Connectthe

sensortotheSENSORIN(D)jackandfollowanyinstructions

suppliedwiththesensor.Thesensorinputworkswithbothwired

andwirelesssensors.

EFFECT

Theeffectknobselectsthetype

ofangertobeused.Theeffect

knobalsoallowsyoutoselectthe

CALIBRATEmodeforcalibrating

thesignalsfromaHotHandsensor.

SeetheUse with Hot Handsection

fordetailsoncalibration.

DELAY

Thedelayknobadjuststheamountof

timedelayusedtocreatetheange

effect.Flangingeffectsarecreated

byconstantlyvaryingthelength

ofashortdelayline.Thismoving

delaylinecausessmallvariationsin

thepitchofthesignal.Turningthe

delayknobclockwisetoincreasethe

amountofdelaywillcausegreater

variationsinthepitch.

DEPTH

Thedepthknobisamulti-purpose

controlontheTri-ModFlanger.It

controlsthedepthoftheeffectand

additionallycontrolsthetypeof
