Penerangan Kawalan:
| Tidak. | Kawalan | Fungsi |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reverb Blend | Adjusts the mix of the wet (effected) reverb signal with the dry (unaffected) signal. Turn clockwise for more reverb. |
| 2 | Pereputan Reverb | Controls the length of the reverb tail. Higher settings result in longer, more expansive reverb. |
| 3 | Reverb Warmth | Shapes the tone of the reverb, adding warmth or brightness. |
| 4 | Reverb Rate / Shimmer | Controls the modulation rate for the Modulated Reverb mode. In Shimmer mode, this knob adjusts the intensity of the shimmer effect. |
| 5 | Delay Blend | Adjusts the mix of the wet (effected) delay signal with the dry (unaffected) signal. Turn clockwise for more delay. |
| 6 | Masa Kelewatan | Sets the delay time, from short slap-back echoes to long, atmospheric repeats (up to 650ms). |
| 7 | Kelewatan Berulang | Controls the number of delay repeats. From a single echo to infinite oscillation. |
| 8 | Kadar Kelewatan | Adjusts the rate of the modulation applied to the delay repeats. |
| 9 | Reverb Mode Switch | Selects the reverb type: Berkilauan (ke atas), Musim bunga (middle), or Termodulat (down). |
| 10 | Delay Modulation Switch | Selects the delay modulation intensity: Cahaya (ke atas), Mati (middle), or Dalam (down). |
| 11 | Reverb Footswitch | Activates or deactivates the Reverb effect. The LED indicates status (on/off). |
| 12 | Tangguh Suis Kaki | Activates or deactivates the Delay effect. The LED indicates status (on/off). |
True-Bypass vs. Trails Mode:
The Caverns V2 offers a switchable True-Bypass or Trails mode. In Trails mode, the reverb and delay tails naturally decay after the effect is disengaged, providing a smoother transition. In True-Bypass mode, the effect cuts off immediately when disengaged, preserving signal integrity when the pedal is off.
To switch between modes, consult the internal dip switches or the manufacturer's official documentation for the specific procedure. This setting is typically located inside the pedal enclosure and requires careful handling.
4. Penyelenggaraan
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Keeley Caverns V2 pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Pembersihan: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish or internal components.
- Storan: Simpan pedal di tempat yang sejuk dan kering, jauh daripada cahaya matahari langsung, suhu ekstrem dan kelembapan tinggi.
- Kuasa: Always use the correct power supply (9V DC, center-negative) to prevent electrical damage. Disconnect power when the pedal is not in use for extended periods.
- Sambungan: Periodically check all cable connections for wear and tear. Ensure jacks are free of dust and debris.
- Elakkan Kejutan Fizikal: Lindungi pedal daripada jatuh atau hentaman, yang boleh merosakkan litar dalaman atau komponen luaran.
5. Penyelesaian masalah
If you encounter issues with your Caverns V2 pedal, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Tiada Bunyi:
- Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and providing the specified 9V DC center-negative power.
- Check all instrument cables. Try different cables to rule out faulty connections.
- Verify that both the Reverb and Delay footswitches are engaged (LEDs lit) if you expect an effect.
- Ensure the Blend knobs for both effects are not set to minimum (fully dry).
- Bunyi/Dengungan yang Tidak Diingini:
- Use a high-quality, isolated power supply. Daisy-chaining power supplies can sometimes introduce noise.
- Check for ground loops in your signal chain.
- Pastikan semua kabel dilindungi dengan betul dan dalam keadaan baik.
- Move the pedal away from power transformers or other sources of electromagnetic interference.
- Kesan Tidak Menarik:
- Confirm the footswitch is fully pressed and the corresponding LED illuminates.
- If in Trails mode, ensure the effect is not simply decaying from a previous engagement.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Keeley Electronics customer support for further assistance.
