Electro-Harmonix TRIPLE FOOT CONTROLLER Manual

TRIPLE FOOT CONTROLLER
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Triple Foot
Controller! The Triple Foot Controller is a compact, easy-to-use utility
pedal providing remote foot-control for devices with external footswitch
jacks. It works great with the Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon ® Delay &
Looper, 720 Stereo Looper™, Superego+™ Synth Engine, Mod Rex™
Polyrhythmic Modulator, Super Pulsar™ Tremolo, and many other pedals
and devices made by both Electro-Harmonix and other manufacturers.
The Triple Foot Controller can also be used as an external tap-tempo
footswitch for a large variety of pedals.
- USING THE TRIPLE FOOT CONTROLLER -
Use the supplied Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) cable* to connect the Triple Foot
Controller (TFC) to the device you want to control. Attach the cable to the
phonejack on the TFC and to the proper jack on the device it controls. We
recommend the device be powered down while making the connection.
The Triple Foot Controller has three footswitches. The switch polarity for
all three footswitches is normally open (NO). They work as follows:
T – When this switch is pressed down, the Tip and Sleeve are electrically
shorted together. If you connect a standard Tip-Sleeve (TS) instrument
cable to the TFC, only the T footswitch provides control to the other
device.
R – When this switch is pressed down, the Ring and Sleeve on the TRS
cable are electrically shorted together.
T+R – When this switch is pressed down, both the Tip and Ring are
electrically connected to the Sleeve of the TRS cable. The T+R footswitch
simultaneously activates both the Tip and Ring on the TRS cable. When
using a TS cable, the T+R footswitch might also activate the T conductor.
Please note: the exact function of each TFC footswitch depends on the
device to which it is connected. Please refer to the device's user manual
for more information on the functions assigned to each TFC footswitch.
Use a standard Tip-Sleeve instrument cable for single footswitch control on the T
*
footswitch. In this scenario, the Triple Foot Controller works great as a TAP footswitch for
the Electro-Harmonix Canyon, DMMTT, or other devices.
