    Or, for stereo operation, connect the outputs from another stereo effects pedal to both the left and right inputs. Note: The input for all Fishman AFX pedals is ideal for active pickups and all soundhole pickups. For passive piezo pickups (no preamp built into the instrument) we recommend plugging directly into an impedance-matching preamp fi...

  • Page 8 To conserve the battery, remove the plug(s) from the input jack(s) when not in use. For AC power, use the Fishman 910-R (for 110V) or other suitable 9V adapter. The adapter must be fi ltered, regulated and rated for at least 200mA. It must also accept AC power appropriate for your country.
  • Page 9 Controls Level The level control mixes the selected effect in parallel, adding as much or as little chorus as you want in addition to your direct sound. This means that your tone is preserved while the effect is blended into it. Tone Use this to add brightness or warmth to the sound of the effect without altering your direct sound.
  • Page 10 Controls (continued) Effect Select Knob AFX • Chorus offers eight popular modulation effects, EQ’d to work well with the resonances found in acoustic instruments. Be sure to check them all out in stereo as many can create a very wide, dramatic effect. Chorus 1 This is a very subtle chorus which adds a light detuning and wide stereo image.
  • Page 11 Controls (continued) Stereo T remolo When used in stereo, this tremolo sounds more like a traditional panner, mov- ing the audio source from left to right and back again. When used in mono, this tremolo has a very sinusoidal, or even, waveshape, reminiscent of classic surfer songs.
  • Page 12 Controls (continued) Phaser This is a classic ’70s modulation effect that adds motion and constantly shifting harmonics. Like the choruses and fl anger, many fi nely-tuned delays are in con- stant motion, but spread apart to create wild effects that retain great defi nition. Rotary Simulates the spinning sound and Doppler effect of a rotary speaker cabinet.
  • Page 13: Battery Replacement

    Battery Replacement The clip/batt indicator will light steadily when it is time to change the battery. Open the battery door underneath the pedal and install a fresh 9V alkaline or lithium battery. When the clip/batt LED comes on you have approximately one hour of remaining battery life.
