Chase Bliss Audio Brothers Instruction Manual

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
MASTER
Sets the master volume of the pedal regardless of
whether channel A or channel B are on individually
or used together.
GAIN A
Sets the gain of channel A for all modes
(i.e. boost, drive, fuzz). The tapers on these knobs
change according to effect type to emphasize the
"sweet spots."
TONE A
This is the tone stack for channel A for all modes
(i.e. boost, drive, fuzz). The tapers on these knobs
change according to effect type to allow for the
most useful and musical sweep. The tonestack on
channel A has an emphasis on transparency.
GAIN B
Sets the gain of channel B for all modes
(i.e. boost, drive, fuzz). The tapers on these knobs
change according to effect type to emphasize the
"sweet spots."
TONE B
This is the tone stack for channel B for all modes
(i.e. boost, drive, fuzz). The tapers on these knobs
change according to effect type to allow for the
most useful and musical sweep.The tonestack on
channel B has a general emphasis on midrange.

INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Boost. Drive. Fuzz. Not necessarily in that order. Designed in
collaboration with Resonant Electronic Design™, Brothers™ is built
upon two independent JFET / IC analog channels comprising a total
of six unique boost, drive, or fuzz circuits in one small enclosure.
The pedal can be routed in thirty-three distinct ways, including
mixing them in parallel or changing the order of the effects. As with
every Chase Bliss pedal, you can save everything and recall presets
instantly, on-the-fly either on the pedal or with MIDI. Every knob
and switch is connected to a little digital brain while your guitar
signal stays 100% analog the entire time and never gets digitally
processed. Since the control of the effect is digital, it opens up
unprecedented effects and features that have never been heard or
offered in analog stompboxes.
MIX / STACK
This knob is used only when both channels are
active. It serves two purposes dependent on where
the "PARA | A >> B | B >> A" toggle is set. If the
toggle is set to "PARA" then this knob controls
the "MIX" between the two channels as they
will be wired in parallel. If the knob is all the way
counterclockwise, then the effect will be 100%
channel A. If the knob is all the way clockwise, then
the effect will be 100% channel B. If the knob is in
the middle at "noon" then there will be a 50/50 mix
between channel A and channel B. All other knob
positions reflect in between states. If the "PARA |
A >> B | B >> A" toggle is set to "A >> B" then
the circuit from channel A is cascaded in series into
the circuit from channel B. If the toggle is set to "B
>> A" then the circuit from channel B is cascaded
in series into the circuit from channel A. This knob
is now controlling "STACK" which is essentially a
volume control between the two circuits. That is,
you can control how hard the first channel hits the
second channel.
PARA | A > B | B > A TOGGLE
This toggle is used only when both channels are
active. "PARA" sets the channels in parallel, while
the other two position set the channels in series. "A
>> B" means channel A is cascaded in series into
the circuit of channel B. "B >> A" means channel B
is cascaded in series into the circuit of channel A.
