CHANGING THE BATTERY
Figure A
●
Replace the battery with a 006P 9 volt battery ONLY.
●
When opening the rear panel for battery replacement, make sure the AC
adapter is not connected. When the rear panel is opened, PCB (green board
on which parts are soldered) appears. Do not touch this board with a conductor
such as metal or it may cause damage to the equipment or electric shock.
1. Remove the four screws of the rear panel with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
2. Connect the new battery and place it in the case. (See Figure A)
●
Unplug the instrument when not in use to prolong the battery life.
●
When battery power is running low, LEDs on the top panel gets dim or

OPERATION
On/off switch: Turns the NOISE GATE function on/off.
Indicator red: Red LED lights up when the NOISE GATE is turned on.
Indicator green: Green LED will light up when the gate is working.
THRESHOLD: Controls the threshold level that engages the mute
circuitry. This sets the limit for when the gate will take effect and start to
decrease or mute the signal. Turning the knob clockwise increases the
threshold, which means the signal will be muted faster.
THRESHOLD mode: Switches the range, HIGH or LOW.
HIGH activates the mute circuitry at an earlier time.
GUITAR IN: Connects an instrument, such as a guitar or the output of
another device via a shielded cable.
Plugging into this jack automatically puts power to the unit.
GUITAR OUT: Sends the input signal. Connect to the input of an
amplifier or another device via a shielded cable.
GATE IN: Connect right after a device to which you'd like to add the
noise gate circuitry, such as a preamp in of an amplifier or a distortion
pedal. Refer to the connection examples. (See Figure B)
GATE OUT: Sends the gated signal. Connect to an amplifier or another
device via a shielded cable.
EXT DC input: Be sure to use a center negative external DC 9V power
supply. (AC/DC adapter etc.)
When using this jack, the internal battery is switched off.
