Signal Path - Electro-Harmonix PLATFORM Quick Start Manual

SWELL CONTROL
The Swell algorithm is triggered every time a new note is played. The normal
attack of your instrument is replaced by a sound that fades in slowly. The Swell
function is located after the overdrive and compressor functions in the signal
chain, but before the main VOL knob. Swell has just one control, the SWELL
knob. Swell mode works best on instruments that have a quick attack and long
sustain, such as a guitar, bass, synthesizer or organ.
SWELL Knob
Adjust fade-in time with this knob. As you turn SWELL clockwise, the fade-in
time increases. When SWELL is set to zero, the Swell effect is bypassed.
SIGNAL FLOW/INPUT/OUTPUT/POWER

SIGNAL PATH:

Input -> Compressor/Limiter -> Overdrive -> Swell -> Output
INPUT
MONO/L
Jack – Instrument/Line level 1/4" unbalanced input jack
that accepts a maximum signal level of +7.2 dBu. Plug your instrument or output
from another effects pedal into this jack. If you use just one input, we
recommend using the MONO/L input. The input impedance presented at this jack
is 1MΩ.
R INPUT Jack
– Instrument/Line level 1/4" unbalanced input jack. Plug your
instrument output or another effects pedal into this jack. Use this jack with the
MONO/L INPUT jack for stereo use. The input impedance presented at this jack
is 1MΩ. The maximum allowable signal level into this jack is +7.2 dBu. If you do
not use the R INPUT jack, the Left input signal connects to the R INPUT jack.
MONO/L OUTPUT Jack
– 1/4" unbalanced output jack. The Left output
signal is sent through this jack. In Bypass, the dry signal at the Left input jack
outputs to the MONO/L Output jack. The source impedance of the MONO/L
OUTPUT is approximately 300Ω.
R OUTPUT
– 1/4" unbalanced output jack. The Right output signal is sent
through this jack. In Bypass, the dry signal present at the Right input jack is
output to the R OUTPUT jack. If a plug is not inserted into the Right input jack
then the Left signal is output on the R OUTPUT jack in both effect and bypass
modes. The source impedance of the R OUTPUT is 300Ω.
9V Power Jack
Plug the output of the factory-supplied EHX9.6DC 200mA AC adapter into the 9V
power jack located at the top of the Platform. The Platform draws 125mA at
9VDC with a center negative plug. The Platform accepts Boss ® and Ibanez ®
style AC Adapters capable of delivering at least 150mA.
