Instruccions de funcionament
The BODYREZ pedal features a simple, intuitive control scheme:
- Interruptor de peu: Press the footswitch to engage or bypass the effect. When the effect is active, the LED indicator will illuminate. The pedal features true bypass, ensuring your signal remains unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
- BODY Knob: This single knob controls the intensity of the acoustic enhancement. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the effect, adding more warmth, depth, and natural resonance to your amplified acoustic sound. Turn it counter-clockwise to reduce the effect. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal tone for your guitar and playing style.
- Phase Control (Footswitch Mode): The footswitch also functions as a phase control to help eliminate low-frequency feedback. To activate this mode, press and hold the footswitch for a few seconds. The LED indicator will change color (e.g., from green to red or vice-versa, depending on the pedal's state) to indicate the phase has been inverted. If you experience feedback, try toggling the phase control to see if it resolves the issue.
Manteniment
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BODYREZ pedal:
- Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Substitució de la bateria: If using a 9V battery, replace it when the LED indicator dims or the pedal's performance degrades. To replace, open the battery compartment on the underside of the pedal, remove the old battery, and insert a new 9V battery, observing correct polarity.
- Emmagatzematge: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply and, if applicable, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store the pedal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
