Electro-Harmonix Blurst! Modulated Filter Pedal User Manual

pengenalan

The Electro-Harmonix Blurst! is a modulated filter pedal designed for guitarists and bass players. It integrates technology from keyboard and modular synthesizers to create dynamic filter effects. Unlike traditional envelope filters, the Blurst!'s filter response is controlled by an internal oscillator, offering unique sonic exploration.

Follow these steps to properly set up your Blurst! pedal:

1. Sambungan Kuasa: Connect a 9V DC power adapter (center positive) to the 9V power jack on the top of the pedal. The Blurst! requires a 9V battery or a 9V DC power supply.

2. Sambungan Input: Connect your instrument (guitar, bass, etc.) to the INPUT bicu di sebelah kanan pedal menggunakan kabel instrumen standard 1/4 inci.
3. Sambungan Output: Sambungkan OUTPUT bicu di sebelah kiri pedal ke amplampu isyarat atau pedal kesan seterusnya dalam rantai isyarat anda menggunakan kabel instrumen standard 1/4 inci.

4. Expression Pedal (Optional): For external control, connect an expression pedal or a Control Voltage (CV) source (such as the EHX 8 Step Program Analog Expression/CV Sequencer) to the EXP jack on the left side of the pedal.

Arahan Operasi

The Blurst! pedal features several controls to shape your modulated filter sound:

Kawalan:

• Tombol VOL: Mengawal jumlah output keseluruhan pedal.
• Tombol BLEND: Adjusts the mix between your dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (filtered) signal. Turn clockwise for more filtered sound, counter-clockwise for more dry signal.
• RESONANCE Knob: Controls the Q or peak of the filter. Higher settings create a more pronounced, resonant filter sweep.
• Tombol KADAR: Sets the speed of the filter modulation. This can also be controlled by the TAP footswitch.
• RANGE Knob: Determines the frequency range over which the filter modulates. Turn clockwise for a wider sweep, counter-clockwise for a narrower sweep.

Togol Suis:

• EXP MODE Switch: Selects the parameter controlled by an external expression pedal or CV source.
  • RANGE: Expression pedal controls the filter's frequency range.
  • KADAR: Expression pedal controls the modulation rate.
  • PENAPIS: Expression pedal controls the filter's center frequency.
• TAP DIVIDE Switch: When using the TAP footswitch to set the modulation rate, this switch divides the tapped tempo into different rhythmic values.
  • Quarter Note: Modulation rate matches the tapped tempo.
  • Dotted Eighth Note: Modulation rate is a dotted eighth note of the tapped tempo.
  • Triplet: Modulation rate is a triplet of the tapped tempo.
• SHAPE Switch: Selects the waveform shape of the internal oscillator that modulates the filter.
  • Segi tiga: Smooth, symmetrical modulation.
  • Rising Saw-tooth: Rapid rise, slow fall modulation.
  • Falling Saw-tooth: Slow rise, rapid fall modulation.

Suis kaki:

• TAP Suis Kaki: Tap this footswitch two or more times to set the modulation rate. The rate will synchronize to your tapped tempo, adjusted by the TAP DIVIDE switch.
• Suis Kaki PINTUNG: Toggles the effect on and off. When the effect is on, the LED indicator will illuminate.

Penyelenggaraan

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Blurst! pedal:

• Pembersihan: Gunakan kain lembut dan kering untuk membersihkan bahagian luar pedal. Elakkan pembersih atau pelarut yang kasar.
• Storan: Simpan pedal di tempat yang sejuk dan kering jauh dari cahaya matahari langsung dan suhu yang melampau.
• Penggantian Bateri: If using a 9V battery, replace it when the LED indicator dims or the pedal's performance degrades. To replace, remove the four screws on the bottom plate and carefully lift the plate. Disconnect the old battery and connect a new 9V battery, then reattach the bottom plate.
• Sambungan: Periodically check all cable connections for wear and tear. Ensure jacks are free of dust and debris.

Menyelesaikan masalah

If you encounter issues with your Blurst! pedal, consider the following:

• Tiada Bunyi:
  • Ensure all cables are securely connected to the input, output, and power jacks.
  • Verify the power supply is functioning correctly and providing 9V DC (center positive).
  • If using a battery, check if it needs replacement.
  • Test with different cables and a different amplifier/instrument to isolate the problem.
• Bunyi Lemah atau Terherot:
  • Semak VOL dan BLEND knob settings.
  • Ensure your instrument's output level is appropriate for the pedal's input.
  • If using a battery, replace it.
• Modulation Not Working:
  • Semak KADAR tetapan tombol.
  • If using the TAP footswitch, ensure you are tapping it consistently and the TAP DIVIDE switch is set as desired.
  • Sahkan BENTUK switch is set to a desired waveform.
• Pedal Ekspresi Tidak Memberi Respons:
  • Ensure the expression pedal is correctly connected to the EXP jek.
  • Sahkan MOD EXP switch is set to the desired parameter (RANGE, RATE, or FILTER).
  • Confirm the expression pedal is compatible and functioning correctly.
