units to socket pairs L1 – L4. Connect the jack to the respective input of the
effects unit and the jack to its output. If you want to supply the effect
devices and / or a tuner via the StompControl with a voltage of 9 V , connect
their sockets to the power supply with the connections 12. Pay attention to
the differences in the maximum current provided by the connections: The
connections at Tuner and L1 can be loaded by up to 100 mA each, the
connections at L2 and L3 by up to 300 mA each and the connection at L4 by up
to 500 mA. You can connect an external tuner to the tuner output 9. Connect
the output OUT 13 to a suitable amplifier or the PA. Connect the supplied AC
adapter to the 12 V connector 14 and plug the adapter into a power outlet.
The device is instantly ready to use in True Bypass mode and the LEDs are
flashing.
Operating
Press the switches A, B, C, D, 6 to switch the effects units connected to L4
– L1 into the signal path. The LEDs 4 indicate the status of the 4 loops. If
the loop is active, the LED is lit, otherwise not. The various configurations
can be stored in up to 5 loop groups. The LED display 1 indicates the
current loop group. Press BANK 7 repeatedly to select the desired loop
group, then press STORE 2 to save. Press BANK (u) again to call up another
loop group. If you press EDIT3 you can change the configuration of this
loop. Then press STORE 2 again to save the changes. To mute the signal, for
example while tuning, press MUTE 5. Press MUTE again, to cancel muting.
