CONTROLS & DISPLAY
Your Leap Series pedal is pretty complex under the hood, but we worked hard to make sure that it’s
easy to drive.
We combined a simple user interface with a high-contrast OLED display to get you the maximum
tweakability with the minimum frustration. Just turn the knobs, it acts like pretty much every other
pedal.
The lower right knob is equipped with push switch. Tap this knob to switch the display page, as
indicated by the three small boxes at the bottom of the display. We’ll refer to this knob + button as the
Page knob throughout this manual.
Hold the Page knob to access the Setup (page 7) and Preset Save (page 6) menus.
KNOB DISPLAY
Turn the pedal knobs to show the Knob Display. Each
knob is labeled with its function and current value.
Set DISPLAY = KNOBS in the Setup menu to make the
pedal show this screen by default.
PRESET DISPLAY
Hold the Bypass / Preset foot switch to load a the next
preset and show this display. The current preset name,
number, and sound mode are shown.
Set DISPLAY = PRESET in the Setup menu to make the
pedal show this screen by default.

INPUT: Instrument input. Defaults to mono, may be set to TRS Stereo or TRS Sum using the
Setup menu.
RIGHT: Right stereo output. This output may be phase-inverted in the Setup menu to match the
output phase of your ampliers.
LEFT / TRS: Main output. Use this as the main output for mono setups, or the left output for stereo.
May also be used as a TRS stereo output (disables the RIGHT jack) if the next eect or
input is TRS stereo.
MULTI: User congurable jack, used for Expression pedal (TRS only,) remote foot switch, or MIDI
input / output (requires converter unit or adapter cable.)
DC 9V: Center-negative, 2.1mm ID barrel jack for DC input. The pedal requires a minimum of
250mA to operate, higher current supplies are acceptable. Do not power the pedal
from a source greater than 9.6V DC.
USB: USB mini-B connector for USB MIDI or rmware updates

We’ve equipped every Leap Series pedal with a plethora of pluggable ports, to allow you lots of
exibility in your pedalboard routing.
We’ll cover the stereo routing stu in full detail under Stereo Routing (page 11), but if you’re running
in mono just use the input and L output jacks.

BYPASS & TRAILS
Leap Series pedals feature a buered bypass system designed to keep your signal as clean as possible
at all times. The dry signal passes through the digital signal processor in order to maintain phase
coherence between wet and dry.
We oer three bypass modes, selectable with the TRAILS item in the Setup menu.
OFF: The wet signal is cut o immediately upon entering bypass
ON: The wet signal delay / reverb trails are allowed to ring out in bypass
AUTO: The wet signal delay / reverb trails are allowed to ring out but automatically
fade out after 10 seconds to eliminate noise in bypass
