- Standard Power: Operates with a standard 9V DC power supply (included).
3. Fametrahana
3.1 Fampifandraisana herinaratra
Connect the included 9V DC power adapter to the power input jack on the pedal. Ensure the power source meets the specified voltage and current requirements (9V DC, 300mA minimum).
3.2 Fifandraisana Audio
- Ampifandraiso amin'ny fitaovanao ny zavamaneno (ohatra, gitara) fahan'ny jack using a standard 1/4-inch (6.35mm) instrument cable.
- Connect ny Output jack ho anao amplifier or other effects pedals using a standard 1/4-inch (6.35mm) instrument cable.

4.1 Engaging the Effect
Press the footswitch to engage or disengage the Whammy effect. When engaged, the LED indicator will illuminate.
4.2 Selecting Pitch-Shift Modes
The Whammy pedal offers three main categories of pitch-shifting effects: Harmony, Whammy, and Detune. Use the rotary selector knob to choose your desired effect.
- Harmony Modes: These modes add a harmonized note to your original signal. The expression pedal controls the pitch of the harmonized note.
- Whammy Modes: These modes shift your entire signal up or down by a specified interval. The expression pedal sweeps the pitch from the original note to the selected interval.
- Detune Modes: These modes create a subtle chorus-like effect by slightly detuning your signal. The expression pedal controls the depth of the detune.
4.3 Classic vs. Chords Switch
ny Classic/Chords switch determines the pitch-shifting algorithm used:
- Classic: Optimized for single-note lines, providing the traditional Whammy sound.
- Chords: Optimized for polyphonic (multiple note) playing, maintaining the integrity of chords during pitch shifts.
4.4 Using the Expression Pedal
The integrated expression pedal controls the pitch sweep or harmony interval depending on the selected mode. Move the pedal from heel-down to toe-down position to sweep through the pitch range.
5. Fikojakojana
- Fanadiovana: Mampiasà lamba malefaka sy maina hanadiovana ny ivelany amin'ny pedal. Fadio ny mpanadio na solvent izay manimba zavatra.
- fitahirizana: Tehirizo ao amin'ny toerana maina ny pedal, lavitry ny mari-pana tafahoatra sy ny tara-masoandro mivantana.
- Herin'aratra: Always use the specified 9V DC power supply to prevent damage.
6. Famahana olana
| OLANA | Antony mety hitranga | vahaolana |
|---|---|---|
| Tsy misy feo rehefa tsindriana ny pedal. | Incorrect cable connections, power supply issue, effect level set to minimum. | Verify all cables are securely connected. Ensure the power supply is functioning. Check the selected effect mode and expression pedal position. |
| Unexpected pitch shifts or glitches. | Incorrect mode selection (e.g., Classic mode with chords), faulty cables, power fluctuations. | Ensure the Classic/Chords switch is set appropriately for your playing style. Test with different cables. Use a stable power source. |
| Pedal does not turn on. | No power, faulty power supply, damaged pedal. | Check power connection and outlet. Test the power supply with another compatible device if possible. If issues persist, contact support. |
