Placement Notes - Tech 21 BOOST CHORUS Owner's Manual

BYPASS
Buffered bypass eliminates the shortcomings associated with "true bypass" (pops and clicks,
and high-end loss when multiple pedals are connected together), as well as signal loss associ-
ated with other types of switching circuits.

PLACEMENT NOTES

The general rule of thumb with time-based effects, is to place them last in the signal chain.
Here are some points to consider:
1) Into an amp's effects loop. This will give you the cleanest, most true representa-
tion of the effect because it is last in the chain --after the amp's tone shaping, compression
and distortion. It is the closest way to replicate how choruses are used in a recording studio.
NOTE: Some amplifier effects loops are line level, which may cause the Boost Choruses to distort.
It will also compress the signal and reduce the output.The same may hold true for mixing boards.
Therefore, you may need to obtain a level matching transformer.
2) After an amp emulator (such as a SansAmp) or distortion pedal into an
amp. Set your amp completely clean to achieve similar results to running through an effects
loop.
NOTEWORTHY NOTES
1) Stereo imaging for a '70s jazz chorus sound. With, for instance, two Tech 21
Trademark 60 combo amps, plug your guitar into one amp, use the Effects Send to the
Boost Chorus set at 100% wet.Then run the Boost Chorus to the Effects Return of the sec-
ond amp.
2) The Boost Chorus pedals are very responsive. Our controls are unusually
sensitive and tend to perform well beyond what would be considered "normal."
3) LED indicator light. When battery runs low, the LED will become noticeably dim.
Power consumption is 50mA.With a fresh battery, you can expect the Boost Chorus pedals
to operate for approximately 10 hours of continuous use --more than enough for a full gig.
To conserve battery life, unplug the unit during breaks and any other time it is not in use.
We recommend opting for a power supply, as it is environmentally-friendlier, will ensure
operation, save money on batteries, and relieve stress trying to remember when you last
changed the battery.
