OPERATION OF THE FC7

Fortissimo function

This allows you to selectively emphasise parts of your performance. As shown in the diagram, the pedal angle is 30º when fully raised. The pedal will rest at any point you take your foot off from fully raised to standard position. If you depress the pedal further from standard position, it will return to standard position when you take your foot off. Also, by adjusting the screw on the bottom, you may adjust the spring return range from 0º ~ 10º.

Selectable pedal angle

As shown below, you may change the pedal angle to fit your playing position

To select pedal angle

1. Loosen hook screw with a screwdriver.
   
2. Move the pedal body to the position in the illustration.
3. Retighten the hook screw.

CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE PEDALS

When using several FC7's, you may connect them together by moving the metal plate on the bottom.

CABLE STORAGE

You may write the function of the pedal (eg. VOLUME, MODULATION) on a piece of tape and put it in this area
