Controls - Electro-Harmonix Superego+ Manual

CONTROLS

DRY Knob
Controls the volume level of the dry signal. As you turn DRY clockwise the
volume of the DRY signal increases to a maximum of +3dB.
EFFECT Knob
Controls the volume of the effected signal. Fully CCW removes the effect signal
entirely. Fully CW presents the maximum effect signal. The effect volume control
operates before the SEND output jack in the signal chain.
ATTACK Knob
Controls the fade-in speed of the frozen signal. When set fully CCW, the frozen
signal starts immediately. As the knob is turned CW the frozen signal fades in
more slowly. Adjust the ATTACK knob to create swell and pad effects.
DECAY Knob
Controls the fade-out speed of the frozen signal. When fully CCW, the frozen
signal fades out quickly. As the knob is turned CW, the fade-out time increases.
When set fully CW, the frozen signal plays indefinitely until a new freeze function
is triggered. If the DECAY knob is set very high at the time the Superego+ goes
into bypass, the bypass LED flashes as the effect signal fades out. This bypass
fade-out time is determined by the DECAY setting and provides a maximum
fade-out time of up to 2 seconds. Once the bypass fadeout is complete the LED
turns off as the Superego+ enters bypass.
THRESHOLD Knob
Controls how sensitive the Superego+ is to the input signal. THRESHOLD is least
sensitive when set fully CCW. At this setting, the input signal has to be very
strong to trigger the effect. As the knob is turned CW, the Superego+ becomes
more sensitive and the effect becomes increasingly easier to trigger. When set
fully CW, even light playing will trigger the effect.
LAYER Knob
In SUSTAIN, AUTO, and LATCH modes, use the LAYER knob to set the level of
the previously frozen signal when it is mixed with a newly frozen signal. When
set fully CCW, the previously frozen signal is not present in a new freeze. At a
setting of fully CW, 100% of the previously frozen signal is present. The LAYER
knob works in a similar fashion to the feedback knob on a delay or the overdub
amount on a looper. Adjust to taste!
GLISS Knob
Controls the speed of the glissando effect. The glissando/portamento feature
glides the pitch of one frozen sound into the next. This function is great for
smooth transitions with lots of texture.
