  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION NGR-1 is an innovative full analog signal path – digital controlled noise gate pedal. Noise gate is definitely not a new concept in guitar/bass world, but what is new is the never seen before approach to it. THE CONCEPT A noise gate circuit can be design in many different ways and using several technical approaches.

  • Page 4: Technical Data

    - A/B mode: rather than turning on/off NGR-1, footswitch can be configured to be a toggle switch between two global presets (two threshold levels). This way you can have a very high threshold for cleanish sounds, opposite to a lower threshold level for heavy stuff, while keeping NGR-1 always on.

  • Page 5: Specification

    SPECIFICATION TOP TO BOTTOM • SEND & RETURN JACKS (gate circuit): input/output for gate circuit. Bottom pointing arrow is for incoming signal, top arrow is for outcoming signal. • DC INPUT: negative center ONLY @ 100mA • SCREEN: all the information will be shown here. •...

  • Page 6: First Use

    FIRST USE TWO CABLES MODE vs. FOUR CABLE MODE (2CM vs 4CM). Two Cable Method The quickest way to approach NGR-1 is using it like any ordinary stompbox, with just cables, series, with other pedal your signal chain. For this operation, you want to use GATE portion of pedal only, which is top row jacks with two arrows, one pointing inside the pedal is your incoming signal, the other pointing out, is your outgoing signal.
  • Page 7 Four Cable Method If you want to step the game up, you can start experiment with 4CM (four cables). Your instrument signal and its dynamics are read and processed by “THRU” portion of the pedal, while at the same time given to “GATE” portion who will cut the volume in another point of signal chain.

  • Page 8: Menu

    MENU’ HOME SCREEN Once the pedal is powered, you will find this home screen, with following info: - Preset number 1-16 plus A and B (let’s talk about this later); - Shift mode: gate or reduction; - Threshold level. GATE/REDUCTION PRESET MODE NUMBER...
  • Page 9 SETTINGS MENU To enter settings menu, you need to press the encoder and footswitch at same time, and screen now looks like this: Midi channel selection Preset or A/B mode from 1 to 16 MIDI CH: MODE: Behave of the pedal, SHIFT: Gate or Reduction In order to navigate thru settings menu, you can turn left/right the encoder.
  • Page 10 PC and CC numbers are fixed, and they are: (Program Change) Preset 1 = Program Change 1, Preset 2 = Program Change 2. Preset 3 = Program Change 3. Preset 4 = Program Change 4. etc. (Control Change) Preset 1 = Control Change 101 (OFF with value = 0, ON with value = 127), Preset 2 = Control Change 102 (OFF with value = 0, ON with value = 127), Preset 3 = Control Change 103 (OFF with value = 0, ON with value = 127), Preset 4 = Control Change 104 (OFF with value = 0, ON with value = 127),...
  • Page 11 MIDI CH: Presets or A/B mode MODE: SHIFT: SHIFT SELECTION Noise gates are most of the time associated with heavy music styles, and so used in many rock, hard rock, metal and heavy metal genres. We didn’t want to create a single use pedal, so we give user the ability so select between couple “shifts”, or in more technical words, couple different ways in how VCA will turn down your signal.
  • Page 12 +110db Threshold point. Everything under this level is bring to - infinte (silence). -infinte dB REDUCTION: same principle of gate, but just attenuating the signal to a certain amount when threshold level is reached. This mode is perfect to keep way more dynamic on your playing, without having those artifacts due to heavy gating process.

  • Page 13: Troubleshoting

    TROUBLESHOTING • NGR-1 is not powering up: please check you’re using a 9V negative center power supply at minimum 100mA. • I’m not able to store a preset: please check pg.8 of this manual. • I’m not able to bypass the pedal, it shows A or B on main screen and pedal won’t bypass: please check pg.10 of this manual.
