Hard Reset - Restore Original Firmware: In the unlikely event that a firmware update fails and the
Nemesis stops working and none of the other troubleshooting methods are successful, a hard reset
may be beneficial. This process reverts the unit fully to its original factory firmware, so it should only
be used when all else fails. A hard reset will roll back any firmware updates that you may have made
on the Nemesis since purchasing it. Note: a Hard Reset will NOT erase user settings, use the Factory
Reset for that. In order to perform a Hard Reset, follow these steps:

Disconnect the Nemesis's power supply. And disconnect any audio cables from its inputs and
outputs.

Press and hold the C

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of instruments can I connect to the Nemesis's inputs?
The Nemesis's audio inputs are high impedance (~ 1 MΩ) and they can accept high impedance signal
sources like guitars/basses with passive pickups, as well as low impedance sources like line-level
audio circuits, guitars/basses with active pickups, electronic keyboards, or mixer outputs. The input
circuit can handle signals ranging up to 6.0 Volts, peak-to-peak.
Can I power the Nemesis directly over USB, without using the 9 Volt supply?
No. USB provides 5 Volts, but the Nemesis needs 9 Volts, so the Nemesis cannot be powered directly
from USB. Make sure that you have plugged in the included 9V DC power supply when connecting to
the Nemesis's USB port.
When connecting the Nemesis to a recording interface or mixer, should I used a Lo-Z
(microphone) or Hi-Z (line / instrument) input?
The Nemesis's output will be low impedance when the effect is active or in buffered bypass mode,
but it will be high impedance when using true bypass mode and a guitar with passive pickups.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use a high impedance (Hi-Z) input on your recording interface
or mixer to avoid signal loss.
