Harvestman STILTON ADAPTOR Quick Start Manual

THE HARVESTMAN STILTON ADAPTOR
QUICKSTART GUIDE
--
The Stilton Adaptor is a 4-channel amplifier and attenuator for sending modular
synthesizer signals to guitar effects pedals. It is the first module in The
Harvestman's "feedback console" design, and can function as a feedback controller
with no other modules present. Simply connect four effects pedals and tune finely.
The vermin have inherited the earth.

CONTROLS

--
The Stilton interface is organized into four channels, with the front panel divided
into four columns. From the bottom up, each channel features:
- Effects connector. Connect a guitar pedal or similar device here using a mixer
"insert" cable. Signals sent to pedals along this cable are attenuated for proper
operation.
- Gain control. Attenuates the signal returning from the pedal.
- Mix control. A wet/dry balance control. Counterclockwise is the "dry" position (or
previous channel signal in feedback mode), and clockwise is the "wet" position (or
current channel signal in feedback mode).
- Signal input. Connect your modular-level signal to be sent to the pedal.
- Signal output. Listen to what comes back from the pedal, governed by the
channel's two control knobs and the effects device itself.

CONNECTIONS

--
In order to use the Stilton Adaptor as intended, you must use TRS insert cables to
connect your effects devices. Following the front panel diagram, connect the
cable's "RING" connector to the effect's input, and the "TIP" connector to the effect
output.
You may also connect a guitar or other instrument-level device to the Stilton by
simply using a TS instrument cable. In this configuration, the Stilton simply
functions as a preamplifier.
