Ciri-ciri

• 30 distinct pitch shift options for versatile sound manipulation.
• Three operational modes: Up, Down, and Dual.
• Adjustable wet/dry blend control for output mix.
• Volume control for overall output level.
• Sweep control for adjustable pitch bend sweep time, enabling automatic whammy effects.

Kawalan dan Fungsi

The Pico Pitch Fork features intuitive controls for precise pitch manipulation. Refer to the diagram below for control identification.

Rajah 2: Pico Pitch Fork Control Layout. This image illustrates the pedal's top panel with labels pointing to each control knob and button, including VOL, BLEND, SWEEP, SHIFT, and MODE.

• Butang MOD: This button selects between the three primary pitch-shifting modes:
  • Atas: Shifts the pitch upwards.
  • ke bawah: Shifts the pitch downwards.
  • Dwi: Combines an upward and a downward pitch shift simultaneously, creating harmonic effects.
  

  Rajah 3: MODE Button Function. This image highlights the MODE button on the pedal, indicating its role in selecting pitch shift directions.

• VOL (Volume) Knob: Adjusts the overall output volume of the pedal. Turn clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• Tombol BLEND: Controls the mix between the dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (pitch-shifted) signal.
  • Fully counter-clockwise: 100% dry signal.
  • Fully clockwise: 100% wet signal.
  • Mid-position: Equal mix of dry and wet signals.
• SWEEP Knob: Sets the time it takes for the pitch bend to sweep when the footswitch is engaged or disengaged in Momentary mode. This creates automatic whammy effects.
• Tombol ANJING: Selects the pitch-shift interval. The pedal offers 10 distinct intervals. Rotate the knob to choose the desired interval.
• Suis kaki: Engages or bypasses the effect. It operates in two modes:
  • Mod Penguncian: Press once to turn the effect on, press again to turn it off.
  • Mod Sesaat: The effect is active only while the footswitch is held down. Releasing the footswitch bypasses the effect.
  

  Rajah 4: Footswitch Modes. This image explains the two operational modes of the footswitch: Latching for continuous effect and Momentary for temporary bursts.

Persediaan

1. Sambungan Kuasa: Connect a 9V DC power adapter (center-negative) to the power input jack on the rear of the pedal. Ensure the power supply meets the specified voltage dan keperluan kekutuban.

2. Sambungan Input: Connect your instrument (e.g., guitar) to the INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. Sambungan Output: Sambungkan bicu OUTPUT di sebelah kiri pedal ke anda amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
4. Tetapan Awal: Before powering on, set the VOL and BLEND knobs to a mid-position. Set the SHIFT knob to a desired interval and the SWEEP knob to a moderate setting.

Mod Pengendalian

The Pico Pitch Fork offers three distinct pitch-shifting modes, selected via the MODE button:

• Mod Atas: In this mode, the pedal shifts the input signal's pitch upwards by the interval selected with the SHIFT knob. This can be used for creating higher harmonies or octave-up effects.
• Mod Bawah: This mode shifts the input signal's pitch downwards by the interval selected with the SHIFT knob. Useful for creating lower harmonies or octave-down effects.
• Mod Dwi: Dual mode simultaneously shifts the pitch both upwards and downwards, creating rich, layered harmonic textures. The specific intervals for the up and down shifts are pre-paired to be musically complementary.

Experiment with the BLEND knob in each mode to find the desired mix of your original signal and the pitch-shifted effect.

Penyelenggaraan

• Pembersihan: Gunakan kain lembut dan kering untuk membersihkan bahagian luar pedal. Elakkan pembersih atau pelarut yang kasar.
• Storan: Simpan pedal di persekitaran yang kering, jauh daripada suhu dan kelembapan yang melampau.
• Bekalan Kuasa: Always use a regulated 9V DC center-negative power supply. Incorrect power can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Sambungan: Ensure all cables are securely connected to prevent signal loss or intermittent operation.

Menyelesaikan masalah

• Tiada Bunyi:
  • Periksa semua sambungan kabel (instrumen, amplifier, power).
  • Pastikan bekalan kuasa disambungkan dan berfungsi dengan betul.
  • Verify the VOL knob is not set to minimum.
  • Bypass the pedal to check if the issue is with the pedal or other equipment.
• Kesan Tidak Menarik:
  • Confirm the footswitch is pressed correctly.
  • If in Momentary mode, ensure the footswitch is held down.
  • Check the BLEND knob; if set to 100% dry, no effect will be heard.
• Bunyi/Dengungan yang Tidak Diingini:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality, regulated power supply.
