Follow these steps to set up your BODYREZ pedal:
- Collegamento elettrico: The BODYREZ pedal requires a 9V battery or an external 9V DC power supply (not included). Connect the power supply to the DC input jack on the pedal. If using a battery, ensure it is correctly installed in the battery compartment.
- Connessione di ingresso: Connect your acoustic guitar's output to the INGRESSO jack sul lato destro del pedale utilizzando un cavo standard per strumenti da 1/4 di pollice.
- Connessione di uscita: Collegare il PRODUZIONE jack sul lato sinistro del pedale al tuo amplifier, mixer, or audio interface using another standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- USB Connection (for firmware updates): A mini-USB port is provided for firmware updates. Connect a mini-USB cable from the pedal to your computer for this purpose. This port is not for audio signal transmission.

Istruzioni per l'uso
The BODYREZ pedal features a simple, intuitive control scheme:
- Interruttore a pedale: 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.
Manutenzione
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BODYREZ pedal:
- Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire l'esterno del pedale. Evitare l'uso di detergenti abrasivi o solventi, poiché potrebbero danneggiare la finitura.
- Sostituzione della batteria: 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.
- Magazzinaggio: 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.
