- Page 2 Like all Telonics equipment, it is fully analog. The signal chain is never digitized, therefore A/D or D/A noise is Not added to your signal. The FP-100 system does not modify your tone (unless you load down your pickup with the Impedance Control).
- Page 3 Service, support and advice is always as close as the telephone or e-mail. Telonics, Inc. is well known by scientists world-wide for the manner in which we stand firmly behind our products on a personal basis. Please contact us with any questions you might have, we invite design comments and are open to any and all suggestions: dave@telonics.com...
- Page 4 “low” or “high” models. This varies by manufacturer between their two models. In the case of Telonics pedals, there is no longer a need to produce and stock two models as one pedal covers both conditions;...
- Page 5 (they also prefer to have and use the Telonics friction lock/clutch so they can easily move their foot on and off the pedal without accidentally changing the volume setting, or have the pedal change due to the stage vibration from woofer vibration or stomping –...
- Page 6 There are certainly more axle considerations, but I hope this information is of some assistance to you. Once you get past "high" or "low" axle placement, you are actually just scratching the surface of important considerations for a professional volume/swell control pedal. Both DRAG (ease of treadle movement) and TENSION (treadle return tension) are independently adjustable to suit the user.
- Page 7 Bracket The FP-100 is designed to interface with most popular pedal bar Interface: brackets which utilize either two screws, or a triangular three hole pattern. The screws which attach the two front feet are slightly longer in order to allow for the thickness of a bracket. To mount a two-hole bracket, remove the two front feet and mount it using the two screws with the rubber feet still attached (under the...

- Page 9 Jacks and Controls: NOTE: All inputs and outputs are buffered and isolated such that shorted or Intermittent Cables will not damage the pedal, interfere with other cable functions or adversely effect signal levels. Inputs: Monaural models are supplied with a *dual-function input jack (J1, refer to Outline Drawing on page 18) and associated circuitry which will accept a conventional ¼”...
- Page 10 Effects units that people currently use are ones like the Fractal-Axe, but the Telonics pedal also works well with older equipment as well, such as the Lexicon MPX-1. There are still lots of them around and they can be programmed to use an effects pedal to control them.
- Page 11 begin to rise, with a hint of the effect being heard. Then, as the treadle is depressed more, the volume will increase and the tremolo effect will become more pronounced. Toward the full toe-down position, the volume will be nearing maximum and the tremolo will be very pronounced. The pedal will work the same with any effect or any combination of effects you might have programmed into an external effects unit which is designed to be controlled by an external 0-5 VDC control voltage.
- Page 12 It will not allow the noise from digital tuners to get back into the system. This jack (J4) is also used for the optional Telonics Miniature Remote Sensor (TMRS). It accepts the ¼” TRS-type plug on the TMRS cable and automatically communicates with the sensor when the user chooses to use the TMRS instead of the foot pedal to control volume.
- Page 13 In such cases, very simple tests can be very misleading. If you are using a studio-quality preamplifier with proper tonal shelving characteristics such as the Telonics preamps, it is suggested that the user leave this control at the factory setting (maximum clock-wise, very high...
- Page 14 HOW TO CHANGE the Minimum ON setting for a given taper: If you first understand a bit about how the system operates when you change the minimum on adjustment, the operation will go much more smoothly. When the pedal is first powered up, the “brain” inside the pedal “sees” the last setting that someone made with this control.
- Page 15 5 Hilton* LED light pedal (“old type” with large permanently attached Motorola power supply) 6 Telonics Special Sustain Taper 7 is like 4, but has added gain at the end of treadle throw. 8 is like 5, but has added gain at the end of treadle throw.
- Page 16 important functions. This label, along with an explanation of these functions is shown below: NOTE: The user may choose to have the blue LED either ON or OFF (other than when it reports a problem by blinking). The desired condition may be set using the following procedure: With the power plug removed, set the pedal on a flat surface and advance or retard the TAPER switch to position “0”...
- Page 17 Error code firmware: If your pedal does not currently have the error code reporting firmware, you can utilize the Telonics FP-100 Tool Box Software to determine if it can be installed. Connect the FP-100 to your computer using the Mini-USB Programmable Cable. When you access the tool box, it will automatically check the hardware revision in your pedal.
- Page 18 Be very careful what you insert in your signal path. Unless you have a high grade preamplifier (such as the Telonics preamp series), a high-quality cable (low capacitance), as short as possible, should be connected from the output of your instrument to the input jack (J1) of this pedal.
- Page 19 OUT) in the INSERT/Pre-EQ EFX loop of your preamplifier (this point inserts the pedal in the signal chain immediately after the first stage of amplification and prior to the EQ/tone shaping circuitry. The Telonics preamplifier series provides a pair of IN and OUT jacks specifically for this purpose as well as providing a separate EFX loop (mono or stereo) for parallel-mode effects units).
