  • Page 5 Introduction ® Congratulations on your purchase of Rocktron’s HUSH The Pedal - guitar noise reduction footswitch! HUSH The Pedal is designed to eliminate the background noise or “hiss” produced by high gain amplifiers when a signal is present without descimating your tone.
  • Page 6 The Pedal to begin to decrease the output level so that the noise is never heard. The Pedal incorporates the latest advancements in HUSH noise reduction technology. HUSH The Pedal's discreet threshold control circuit utilizes a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) as a downward expander which can control the gain between the input and output of The Pedal from unity to over 60dB of gain reduction.
  • Page 7 The Variable Integrated Release (V.I.R.) technology contained in each HUSH circuit automatically adjusts the release rate of the expander based on the dynamic decay rate of the incoming signal. If the input signal stops suddenly, downward expansion will occur rapidly (similar to a gate).
  • Page 8 HUSH. Threshold Control - Turn Clockwise to increase the amount of HUSH added to the signal. In high gain situations turn the Threshold more towards “Max”. In lower gain settings turn Theshold more towards “MIN”. Set this control to suit your taste.
  • Page 9 The HUSH The Pedal can also be used in your amplifier’s effects loop. However, if you are running multiple effects though this loop the HUSH The Pedal should always be the last dynamic device in the signal chain, but before digital delays or reverbs.
