3. Подешавање
3.1 Прикључак за напајање
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 Аудио везе
- Повежите свој инструмент (нпр. гитару) са Инпут jack using a standard 1/4-inch (6.35mm) instrument cable.
- Повежите Излаз џак за твој amplifier or other effects pedals using a standard 1/4-inch (6.35mm) instrument cable.

4. Упутство за употребу
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.
- Хармонијски режими: These modes add a harmonized note to your original signal. The expression pedal controls the pitch of the harmonized note.
- Режими ударца: 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.
- Режими расштимовања: 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
Тхе Classic/Chords switch determines the pitch-shifting algorithm used:
- класична: Optimized for single-note lines, providing the traditional Whammy sound.
- акорди: 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. Одржавање
- Чишћење: Користите меку, суву крпу за чишћење спољашњости педале. Избегавајте абразивна средства за чишћење или раствараче.
- Складиштење: Чувајте педалу на сувом месту, даље од екстремних температура и директне сунчеве светлости.
- Напајање: Always use the specified 9V DC power supply to prevent damage.
