<<< Pro Tip >>>

When using any of the envelope modes, we recommend placing the Aqueduct first in the signal

chain and/or before any effects that increase volume or gain. The Aqueduct was designed for

low-to-medium output pickups. Any increase in output will make the envelope settings more

responsive at lower settings, thus making them less dynamic.

<<< Flexi-Switching >>>

This device features Flexi-Switch

Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style

™

allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching-style switching.

• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap

again to bypass.

• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you'd like to use the effect.

Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.

Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.

<<< Power Requirements >>>

• Current Draw: 68mA

• This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We

always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple

isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power.

Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter

dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!

<<< Tech Specs >>>

• Input Impedance: 1M Ohm

<<< Warranty >>>

This device has a limited lifetime warranty. If it breaks, we will fix it. Should you encounter any

issues, please email info@earthquakerdevices.com.
