- Perilla de REVERB: Controls the overall decay time and size of the reverb effect. Turning it clockwise increases the length and spaciousness of the reverb.
- Perilla de mezcla: Adjusts the balance between your dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (effected) signal. Turn clockwise for more reverb effect, counter-clockwise for less.
- Perilla de TONO: Shapes the tonal character of the reverb. This control allows you to brighten or darken the shimmer effect, from warm and subtle to crisp and cutting.
- SHIMMER Knob: This dedicated control adds an octave-up effect to the reverb tail, creating the signature ethereal, shimmering sound. Increase for a more pronounced shimmer.
- Pedal: Engages or disengages the effect. The pedal features true bypass, ensuring your signal remains unaffected when the pedal is off.
Mantenimiento
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FLUORESCENCE SHIMMER REVERB pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Limpieza: Utilice un paño suave y seco para limpiar el exterior del pedal. Evite limpiadores abrasivos o disolventes, ya que pueden dañar el acabado.
- Almacenamiento: Guarde el pedal en un lugar fresco y seco, alejado de la luz solar directa y de temperaturas extremas.
- Conexiones: Revise periódicamente todas las conexiones de cables para detectar desgaste. Asegúrese de que los conectores estén libres de polvo y residuos.
- Fuente de alimentación: Always use a regulated 9V DC, 100mA (center negative) power supply. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.
- Cuidado físico: The pedal features a durable metal chassis. However, avoid dropping the unit or subjecting it to excessive force to prevent internal damage.
