Page 3: Special Notes
The MOD100 comes preprogrammed with the six sounds (two per module) corresponding to buttons one through six on the EGNATER pedal or program patch numbers one through six on a midi controller. This can be easily changed. To do so, simply select the desired program or patch number on your pedal. - Page 4 PAGE 2 MOD100 Effects Loop Operation The Egnater effects interface is the most versatile loop system you will find anywhere. There are two totally independent, tube buffered loops, each optimized for specific applications. 1) Series Loop: Basically an insert patch point. When an external effect is patched into the series send and return jacks, the path is interrupted and 100% of the signal is routed through the effect.

PAGE 3 Effect’s loops continued: 3) Now let’s address the specific uses, advantages, disadvantages and limitations of each loop. a) The series loop, by nature of the fact that it breaks the direct path and processes 100% of the signal, makes it so that essentially any line level gadget will work. You can use echo, reverb, noise reduction, tremolo, equalizers etc in this loop. - Page 6 What is bias? Simply put, it is a circuit inside the power amplifier section that controls the “idle current” that flows through the power tubes. Much like the idle speed on a car. There is an optimum setting where the engine (amplifier) is running (idling) fast (hot) enough to keep it from stalling (distorting) but not too fast (hot) to cause excessive wear and overheating.

PAGE 6 Internal DIP switch settings: Inside the MOD 100 chassis, you will find a dip switch for setting up the midi/channel switching parameters. The amplifier is shipped set up to receive program change data on midi channel one. - Page 8 This setup is compatible with most standard setups. Should you have some specialized needs, the following paragraphs should provide the information you need. The M4 “reads” the DIP switch positions only on power up. Whenever a change is made to any dip switch, the MOD50 must be powered off and back on to “read”...
- Page 9 S5 is used to activate the “omni” mode. “Omni” is a special mode that allows the M4 to receive data on all 16 midi channels simultaneously. Turning the omni mode on overrides S1 through S4. Set actuator 5 ON to turn the “omni” mode on or up for off. S6 is the “Program change enable”...
