GHOST PEDAL brings you new possibilities of tone shaping with its state of the art flexible audio routing chain, allowing you to jump between dimensions with a single press of a button.

Accept standard unbalanced TS instrument 1/4″cables, guitar or line levels (up to 12dBV or +/-2V) with soft clipping introduced with higher audio amplitudes.

(the amount is shown with brightness of the LED), which is useful to enhance the delays or for dub-delays. TIME/DIV KNOB with LED: controls the delay time, from short audio rate repeats CCW and longer taps CW as a primary parameter (the amount is shown with the brightness of the blue LED).

ROUTING BUTTON: routing chain switching. Each press cycles through six different orders of audio effects (see DISTORTED REALITY paragraph below). DISTORTION KNOB with LED: control over the distortion amount (shown with the brightness of the blue LED). Secondary function in combination with the SHIFT button controls the amount of treble content after the distortion output.

disables the whole effects chain. When the effects chain is enabled, the pink LED near that footswitch is ON. When the effect chain is bypassed, the LED is off and also all the remaining LEDs except the preset selection LEDs are dimmed.
EFFECT TECHNIQUES QUICKSTART The fastest way to check the effects palette in the GHOST Pedal is to go through the factory presets by selecting them with the PRESET footswitch and confirming the load with BYPASS footswitch.
Page 11
characters in a variety of forms, below you will find a list of techniques that can be used to achieve a lo-fi sound: Pitch warble: select a fluctuating random LFO SHAPE with low or medium LFO SPEED . Adjust the DELAY to around 40-50% with delay time set to 9:00, set delay REPEATS anywhere between 7:00 and 12:00.
LFO SHAPE to the FILTER cutoff to free up your hands. EXPERIMENTAL DELAY FREEZE One way to create strange delays on the GHOST Pedal is to enable the delay LOOPER by setting the TAP footswitch to mode 2 by pressing SHIFT + TAP until the TAP LED blinks twice.
DISTORTED REALITY The power of the GHOST PEDAL lies in its stereo complex audio effect chain with 96kHz, 32-bit internal audio processing, consisting of 8x oversampled distortion algorithm with cabinet simulator and bitcrusher , a multimode filter , delay , reverb and a modulator - LFO .
distortion is placed after the filter: modulating the filter cutoff with high resonance and applying the bitcrusher effect after. HINT: another trick to to add lo-fi flavor to your audio is to slowly modulate the time of the DELAY (9) with fluctuating random LFO (22). That will create a flutter effect simulating a wobbly tape playback.
setting the TAP (14) footswitch to mode 2. Secondary /TAPS* function (pressing or holding SHIFT while turning the knob in 3 sectors from CCW to 11 o’clock, 11 to 14 o’clock and 14 to full CW shown with brightness of the LED) changes the stereo behavior of the taps produced by the delay.
field simultaneously with the amount of Reverb DECAY knob (12). This feature is best audible on true stereo signals processed with the GHOST. MODULATION ASSIGNMENT You can assign a movement to literally any knob or as many knobs you like in a desired amount directly or inverted.

env. means ENVELOPE FOLLOWER : instead of a cycling wave, a modulation contour shape is extracted from the incoming audio according to its dynamics. LFO SPEED knob (21) acts as a slew rate adjustment with long at CCW or fast slew at full CW.
of the knob, adjust its modulation in maximum or minimum (full blue or red) and then add a manual knob offset. NOTE: you can’t modulate discrete values with LFO (e.g. selecting MIDI CHANNEL or enabling MIDI SYNC). HINT: MODULATION (23) button can also be pressed once (latched) so you can adjust the modulation depth playing with various parameters with one hand.
PRESETS LOAD / SAVE another preset. Note that on the next powerup GHOST always loads the most recently selected preset. Random preset generation gives a big variety of the new effects so be sure to save if you liked the result.
RANDOM MODULATION Combination of single MODULATION + REVERB + ROUTING buttons press applies a random modulation to all the knobs and their secondary values. HINT 1: same as with the random preset, if you like the result - save it, or you will lose that happy accident forever.
PRESETS LOAD / SAVE Ghost pedal has 9 preset slots: which correspond to 3x3 LEDs array (25) above the PRESET footswitch (24). You may still play with the current preset but only select the new slot to load. Preset selection and saving is made with the idea to be operated with one foot only.
changes were not saved, you will have a previously saved preset recalled on the next pedal startup. TO SAVE THE PRESET Hold the PRESET footswitch for longer than 3 seconds: one of the 9 slots will start to blink ...

To perform a preset dump, hold the SHIFT + ROUTING buttons for a few seconds until you see the 9 preset LEDs are on for a moment. You should see the MIDI data being received inside the SysEx Librarian app so you can save it as a *.syx file afterwards.
MIDI Speed inside the Options menu on Bome Send SX to around 1.29KB/s. SETTINGS AUTOSAVE There are a few layers of data and settings GHOST pedal can save and recall on the next power up cycle. Some of them you may change using the controls of the pedal and some of them are accessible via MIDI CC# messages (see MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART below).
