- Page 3 Charging the ring Before using your new Hot Hand 3 Universal Wireless Effects Controller you should fully charge the ring battery. The ring uses a small and lightweight Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery. To charge the ring battery, first plug the DC adapter power supply into a standard electri- cal outlet.
- Page 4 Connections The receiver can be connected to any effects pedal that has the ap- propriate input jacks. This includes the Sensor Input or Multi-Function Input on all Soundblox pedals and any other manufacturer’s pedal that has a ⁄ -inch expression input. If the receiver is connected via the SA160 sensor cable, it will be powered through this connection.

- Page 7 Using the wireless ring Once the ring is fully charged and the receiver is powered, you can turn on the ring. Gently press the ON/OFF switch (A) on the side of the ring. If the link between the ring and the receiver is working, the blue STATUS LED on the receiver and the blue LED (B) on the ring will both turn on solidly (not blinking).
- Page 8 Adjustments Most Source Audio Soundblox pedals have built-in controls for adjust- ing the Hot Hand input, however, some do not and it may be useful to adjust the parameters on the Hot Hand 3 receiver itself. The Expres- sion Output is ALWAYS affected by the knobs. By default, the DEPTH and SMOOTH controls will NOT have an effect on the Sensor Output.
- Page 9 Calibration Calibration is used to set the control output level when the ring is in the middle of its range. Depending on your set up, it may be useful to adjust the calibration to get the desired response. Set the angle of the ring to your desired midpoint and press the CALIBRATE button (A).
- Page 10 Selecting an output mode The Hot Hand 3 Receiver can output a total of three control signals: two on the Sensor Output and one on the Expression Output. By default, the X-axis signal of the Hot Hand ring is processed and sent to the Expression Output and the Sensor Output sends X and Y-axis signals without any processing.
- Page 11 To exit the output editing mode, press and hold the CALIBRATE (RESET) button for two seconds or cycle the power on the receiver. For future Source Audio products, the Hot Hand 3 receiver can output all three axes digitally through the SENSOR OUTPUT. This is automati-...
- Page 12 • Normal mode is the most common setting used by pedal manufacturers, including Source Audio. • Reverse mode is commonly used by Korg and some other manufacturers.
- Page 13 • Line 6 mode is a special setting for use with Line 6 effects units and stompboxes. Note: Unlike most expression inputs, this mode uses a normal mono (TS) guitar cable instead of a stereo (TRS) type. Normal Reverse Line 6 Status LEDs and troubleshooting The ring and receiver both have LEDs to indicate status.
- Page 14 LED State Description Ring LED — fast blink Ring is being charged. Ring LED — slow blink Ring is trying to find a receiver to link up with. Make sure that the receiver is plugged into the correct port and is powered up properly. If it still doesn’t work, cycle the power.
