BENADO EFFECTS PB1 User Manual

Thank you for purchasing the BENADO EFFECTS pedalboard. Owning this unit will give you
the ability to free yourself from clutter, weight and many other frustrations we guitar players have
suffered for years without losing the quality of sound and build.
On this pedalboard there are five basic effects that most guitar players use, and the effects are
all analog. How cool is that? Oh, not to mention it's already buffered on the input level, so
you can look at it as six pedals in your board. Every pedal was carefully designed to be the best
and achieve a complete purity of the sound without diminishing your tone one little bit.
A brief description of the effects is as follows: Compressor (can act as a clean boost if needed),
Distortion gives you that vintage warm great raw tube amp sound, Overdrive with wide range of
options, Analog Delay and Spring Style Reverb.
Below I'm including my favorite settings, which I'm using almost exclusively:
• Compressor: all knobs set to 12:00 o'clock. (level knob changes from time to time to set
volume right). This setting I'm using as my boost.
• Distortion:
o'clock, gain 1:00 o'clock.
• OD: tone 1:00 o'clock, bass 11:00 o'clock, switch set to cream, volume 10:00-11:00
o'clock, gain 8:00-9:00 o'clock.
• Delay: delay all the way up, tone all the way down, repeats 9:00-10:00 o'clock, level set
to bring the overall sound to match my reverb so I get an echo type of sound.
• Reverb: tone 12:00 o'clock, level 10:00-11:00 o'clock, depth 12:00 o'clock.
Do not use an adaptor with a higher output voltage than the specified 9V
DC center pin negative. An adapter with an AC voltage output should
never be used with the unit as it will permanently damage the unit.
I recommend using the Visual Sound 1 Spot 9V DC Power Supply.
