CONTROLS
DRY VOL KNOB
The DRY VOL knob controls the volume of the untreated instrument level on the
EFFECT OUTPUT jack.
EFFECT VOL KNOB
The EFFECT VOL knob controls the overall volume of the selected preset at the
EFFECT OUTPUT jack.
ATTACK KNOB
Use the ATTACK knob to set the volume swell speed, or the speed at which the
effect begins to be heard. Turn the ATTACK knob down (fully counterclockwise)
for a fast attack with minimum swell. Turn the knob up to increase the amount
of swell and to have the notes fade in more gradually.
NOTE: When using the BRASS preset, the ATTACK knob adjusts the speed of a
filter sweep. This adjustment controls how quickly the BRASS sound gets bright.
SUSTAIN KNOB
The SUSTAIN knob controls the amount of time a sound continues to play after
you stop playing. When the SUSTAIN knob is turned down (fully counter-
clockwise), the fadeout time is at its minimum setting. Turn the knob up to
increase the fadeout time.
NOTE: When using the BRASS preset, the SUSTAIN knob adjusts the amount of
“lip buzz”―characteristic of brass instruments such as trumpet―heard at the
onset of new notes. “Lip buzz” is a subtle addition to the BRASS preset, and at
times you may have difficulty hearing the impact on the sound produced by
adjusting the SUSTAIN knob.
PRESET KNOB
Turn the white numbered knob to select a preset sound.
DRY OUTPUT JACK
The DRY OUTPUT jack outputs the signal present at the INPUT jack through a
buffer circuit. In either EFFECT or BYPASS mode, the dry signal is always present
at the DRY OUTPUT jack.
EFFECT OUTPUT JACK
The EFFECT OUTPUT jack sends the mix set by the DRY and EFFECT volume
controls.
BYPASS FOOTSWITCH
Press the BYPASS footswitch to toggle the MEL9 OUTPUT jack between buffered
BYPASS and EFFECT mode. The status LED lights when you are in EFFECT mode.
