(500W per channel), or 600W into 8W (300W per channel).
The sound input requires a signal of at least 1.5V rms before
it will start to operate (about ½W into 4W). This means that the
sound-chase may not operate at low levels. (½W is about
96dB(A) on an average pair of PA speakers)
When first switched on,the Q-Pedal will be in blackout mode,
with the Blue LED lit. The chaser will be running (as shown on the

Pressing the Flood switch will switch all four channels on to
give a floodlight effect. The yellow LED illuminates to show that
FLOOD has been selected. The Q-Pedal has internal mains current

depending on the setting of the internal Max. Current switch) the
fourth channel will be switched off to keep the current within
