External Clock Specs; 9V Power Jack - Electro-Harmonix Super Pulsar User Manual

Please note: if you assign a switch while a preset is loaded, it only re-assigns the
switch for that preset, not WYSIWYG. If you want to keep the preset's new
assignment, you must save the preset. If you want to assign the switch for
WYSIWYG mode, please make sure you are in that Normal mode, see page 10.
EXTERNAL CLOCK – Super Pulsar has the ability to synchronize its modulation
speed to an external clock pulse on the tip conductor of its TAP/CLK IN jack. In
order for Super Pulsar to properly follow the external clock, it must be set to
Clock-In mode. From the factory it is set to External Switch mode, here's how to
change between Clock-In and External Switch modes:
CHANGING BETWEEN EXTERNAL SWITCH AND CLOCK-IN MODES
FOR THE TAP/CLK IN Jack:
1. First press and hold the WAVE INVERT button on Super
Pulsar.
2. Now press and hold the TAP footswitch, also on Super
Pulsar.
3. Once you press the TAP FSW, the WAVE INVERT LED will blink
rapidly for about 2 seconds, you have now set the TAP/CLK IN
jack to Clock-In mode. The rapid blink of the WAVE
INVERT LED means you are in Clock-In mode.
4. Change back to External Switch mode by performing
the same procedure in steps 1-3. The only difference is
when you go back to External Switch mode, the WAVE INVERT
LED blinks just twice, at a slower rate.
5. We recommend you perform this setting change while nothing
is inserted into the TAP/CLK IN jack. The Super Pulsar will
remember the Clock In setting during power cycles and even
save it to presets. External switches are not supported in
Clock-In mode.
EXTERNAL CLOCK Specs: The nominal external clock amplitude is 5V but it
can follow clock amplitudes as small as 2V and as large as 9V as well as bi-polar
amplitudes ranging from +/- 2V to +/-5V. The maximum external clock
frequency that Super Pulsar can follow is 150Hz. The TAP DIVIDE modes can be
used to increase the speed of modulation in relation to the external clock
frequency, by the same ratio as for the TAP footswitch.
Please note: If your external clock is modulating, it is normal for the Super
Pulsar's modulation waveform to stutter while the clock frequency is decreasing.
9V Power Jack – Plug the output of Super Pulsar's supplied AC Adapter into the
9V power jack located at the top of Super Pulsar. Super Pulsar requires 165mA at
9VDC - 10VDC with a center negative plug. Super Pulsar accepts most BOSS
style AC Adapters.
