Behringer CS400 Sustainer Pedal User Manual

Behringer CS400 Sustainer Pedal

Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the Behringer COMPRESSOR SUSTAINER CS400. This ultimate effects pedal is specifically designed to achieve super-smooth compression and endless sustain. Thanks to its high-performance features you can compress loud and boost low signals without degrading the original sound. A compressor limits the dynamic range of a signal. This means that signal peaks will be attenuated and the level differences between loudest and softest playing are reduced. This results in a more powerful and pressure-rich tone.

 Controls

1. The LEVEL control adjusts the output level.

2. Turn up the TONE control to achieve more presence and sound clarity.

3. The ATTACK control determines how fast the compressor reacts on the input signal.
   The attack time is sweepable between slow and fast.

4. The SUSTAIN control determines the amount of compression that results in long-lasting tones.

5. The ON/BATT LED illuminates when the effect is activated. It also serves as a battery level indicator.

6. Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect.

7. Use this 1/4″ TS IN connector to plug in the instrument cable.

8. The 1/4″ TS OUT connector sends the signal to your amp.
   Use the DC IN connection at the front of the unit to plug in a 9V power supply (not included).

The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located underneath the pedal cover. To install or replace the 9 V battery, press the hinges with a ballpen and remove the pedal cover. Be careful not to scratch the unit.

The CS400 has no on/off switch. As soon as you insert the jack into the IN connector, the CS400 begins running. When not using the CS400, remove the jack from the IN connector. This extends the life of the battery.
The SERIAL NUMBER is located at the bottom.
