Chunk Systems Brown Dog Quick Start Manual

Battery
Your Brown Dog operates from a single 9V battery. We
recommend you use a long-life alkaline type. Since the Brown
Dog draws power while the input plug is connected, you
should remove the input plug when not in use to prolong
battery life.
Replace your battery if the LED does not light brightly or if the
output becomes too quiet. When in hard mode, you may also
find you need to turn up the dirty level control a little as your
battery runs out.
To install a battery:
1
Loosen the battery drawer thumbscrew.
2
Slide the battery drawer out.
3
Attach the battery clip to the battery.
4 Insert the battery into
the drawer with the
battery clip inside the
unit as shown.
Push the back end of the
5
battery down until it clips
snugly into the drawer as
shown.
6
Slide the battery drawer in.
7
Tighten the battery drawer thumbscrew.
External power supply
You can also run your Brown Dog from an external plugpack
or other voltage source plugged into the 2.1mm tip-negative
9vdc socket. A 9V DC regulated supply is required but almost
any current rating will do since it draws less than 50 mA.
While a plug is inserted into the 9vdc socket the battery, if
installed, is disconnected. To prevent damage to your pedal,
please ensure you have the voltage and polarity correct
before plugging in an external power supply.
Stand-alone connection
To use your Brown Dog by itself, connect a lead from your
instrument to the input socket, and a lead from the output
socket to your amplifier as shown:
Envelope connection
The envelope output at the back of the Brown Dog provides a
phase-inverted copy of the input signal with 12 dB of gain
applied.
The Brown Dog can operate with the Chunk Systems Agent
00Funk Mark II envelope filter pedal to create some crazy
synth tones. For best results, connect the Brown Dog's
envelope output to the Agent 00Funk Mark II's envelope
input as shown:
