Airpatch Wireless Effects Pedal Controller User Guide

What’s Included

Airpatch Dock

Select the eff ects pedals you want to use with your Airpatch and connect them between the Send and Return jacks on the Airpatch Dock. (See Figure A.1 for connection example.) The audio source connects to the Input jack while the rest of your audio signal chain connects to the Airpatch Output. Ensure all pedals between your Airpatch Send and Return are powered ON and engaged.
For the 9V connection, use a standard 2.1mm center negative barrel connector ONLY. Power supply is not included.

Pairing Your Airpatch

Use your Airpatch Dock Button—with the Airpatch Sonic Bars—to cycle through modes and pair your Controller.
Hold the Dock Button down for 3 seconds until the Dock’s LED starts blinking. Press your Airpatch Controller once to pair it. The Dock’s LED will then stop blinking and remain ON.

Airpatch Controller

When you press your Airpatch Controller, the surface will fl ash white.
When the LED fl ashes red, your battery is low (~1 hour remaining). If the light does not fl ash at all, your battery is depleted and your Controller must be charged.

Charging Your Controller

Charge your Airpatch Controller with the magnetic USB cable provided and a standard 5V USB power supply. The magnetic charging connector is designed to fi t one way only so look for the light to appear red indicating your Controller is charging. It will turn white once it’s complete (~45 minutes). Remove the charging cable once your battery is full.

Controller Attachment

Your Airpatch includes a Mounting Plate with a release lever and a removable, fi nish-friendly adhesive pad, allowing you to quickly and easily attach and detach your Airpatch from a variety of instrument surfaces and positions. Simply peel off the white fi lm from the
Mounting Plate’s adhesive pad to expose the permanent adhesive and carefully stick it to the bottom of the Mounting Plate. The clear side is fi nish- friendly adhesive. Peel off the clear fi lm and secure
the Mounting Plate to your instrument. The adhesive is strong but removable and reusable.

Making It Your Own

When connecting your eff ects pedals, Airpatch enables endless combinations. Ever wish you could control your favorite eff ects right on your instrument? What about getting more out of your go-to pedals?
Your Airpatch makes it possible.

Airpatch encourages freedom of movement and expression. Experiment by placing the Airpatch Controller in diff erent locations on your instrument until you fi nd the position that’s most comfortable and best suited to your playing style. Airpatch uses medium-pressure silicone switches to avoid accidental eff ects switching. The areas to the left and right of the grip bars require slightly less pressure to activate while the center of the Controller Button requires slightly more pressure to engage.

Mode Selection

Simply press the Airpatch Dock
Button located in the left side of the Dock to switch Flight Modes.
The three-color LED will indicate which Flight Mode you’re in.

Lead Button

Distortion/Boost + Latch Mode — Use your Airpatch to launch into your lead section. Add a modulation to your effects loop and activate multiple pedals at once.

Tremolo/Stutter Button

Tremolo Pedal + Momentary Mode — Press and hold Tremolo/Stutter for accents and dramatic note and chord holds. This is a great modulation when combined with distortion outside of your effects loop.

Delay Trail

Delay + Momentary/Latch Mode — Your Airpatch will continue to send your audio signal into the delay pedal even when it’s bypassed, preserving your delay trails. Dial in long delay times and use your Airpatch to bring in the ambient delay trail during phrases and chords.

Pitch Button

Pitch Shifter + Latch/Momentary Mode — Incorporate new and unprecedented harmonies and octaves into your soundscapes. Your
Airpatch’s Momentary Mode acts like new notes for your instrument when combined with pitch eff ects.

Three-way Killswitch

Momentary Mode — Leave your eff ects loop blank or directly connect your eff ects Send to the Return with just one patch cable.
No pedals necessary. This provides you with two killswitch options. Use a distortion pedal in your Airpatch eff ects loop and a second distortion outside of your eff ects loop to stack other-worldly tones when switched rapidly.
