2. Connessione di ingresso: Connect your electric guitar to the "INPUT" jack on the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. Connessione di uscita: Collega il jack "OUTPUT" del pedale al tuo amplifier o il pedale successivo nella catena del segnale utilizzando un altro cavo per strumenti da 1/4 di pollice.
4. Accensione: Una volta che tutte le connessioni sono sicure, accendi il tuo amplifier and then the pedal. The LED indicator will illuminate when the pedal is active.

Istruzioni per l'uso

The THE PROPHET DIGITAL DELAY pedal features intuitive controls for shaping your delay sound. Familiarize yourself with each control:

Controlli:

• Manopola TIME: Controls the delay time, determining the interval between repeats.
• Manopola MIX: Adjusts the blend between your dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (delayed) signal. Turn clockwise for more delay effect.
• REPEATS Knob: Controls the number of delay repetitions (feedback). Higher settings result in more repeats.
• SUBDIVISION Switch: A three-way toggle switch that selects the delay subdivision:
  • 1/16: Sixteenth note delay.
  • 1/8: Eighth note delay.
  • 3/8: Dotted eighth note delay.
• INTERRUTTORE A PEDALE: Engages or bypasses the effect. This pedal features True Bypass for preserving your guitar's tone when the effect is off.

Suggerimenti per l'uso:

• For subtle ambiance, set the MIX knob to a lower position and REPEATS to a moderate level.
• To achieve rhythmic delays, synchronize the TIME knob and SUBDIVISION switch with the tempo of your music.
• Experiment with high REPEATS settings and the TIME knob to create self-oscillating, experimental sounds.

Manutenzione

Una corretta manutenzione garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del tuo pedale:

• Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire l'esterno del pedale. Evitare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
• Magazzinaggio: Conservare il pedale in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme.
• Alimentazione elettrica: Always use a compatible 9V DC, center-negative power supply. Incorrect power can damage the unit.
• Connessioni: Controllare periodicamente tutti i collegamenti dei cavi per verificare che non siano usurati. Assicurarsi che i jack siano privi di polvere e detriti.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If you encounter issues with your pedal, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nessun suono:
  • Controllare tutti i collegamenti dei cavi (chitarra all'ingresso, uscita a amp).
  • Assicurarsi che l'alimentatore sia collegato correttamente e funzioni.
  • Verify the pedal is engaged (LED illuminated).
  • Test with different cables, guitar, and amplifier per isolare il problema.
• Suono debole o distorto:
  • Check the MIX knob setting; ensure it's not set too low or too high, causing signal clipping.
  • Ensure your guitar's output and amplifier's input levels are appropriate.
  • Controllare che i cavi non siano danneggiati.
• Rumore/ronzio indesiderato:
  • Utilizzare un alimentatore isolato e di alta qualità.
  • Assicurare la corretta messa a terra delle apparecchiature.
  • Keep the pedal away from power transformers or other sources of electromagnetic interference.

If problems persist, consult the warranty information for service options.
