User Manual

When the LED in the Holy Grail Plus section is lit (either red or green), the Holy

Grail Plus effect is active. When the Holy Grail Plus LED is off, the Holy Grail Plus

section is bypassed. A red LED in the Holy Grail Plus section indicates that the

SHIMMER setting is off. A green LED in the Holy Grail Plus section indicates that

the SHIMMER setting is on. More information on the operation of the SHIMMER

switch is on pages 4-5.

I/O & POWER JACKS

MONO/L and R INPUT Jacks - The Epitome allows for full stereo input. The

input jacks are labeled: Mono/L and R. When using the Epitome with only one

input we suggest you use the MONO/L input. When using a single input, the

input impedance is 500k. When using both inputs, the input impedance at each

jack is 1M.

MONO/L Output Jack - This 1/4” jack is the main effect output jack when

connected in mono and the Left output when hooked up in stereo. The output

impedance at this jack is 910.

R Output Jack - This 1/4” jack is the Right effect output jack. Connect this jack

to your second amp or second mixer channel when connecting the Epitome in

stereo. The output impedance at this jack is 910.

9V Power Jack - Connect the output plug from the AC Adapter that was

supplied with your Epitome to this jack, located at the top of the unit. The

Epitome requires 185mA at 9VDC. The polarity of the power jack is center

negative.

- STEREO OPERATION AND THE SHIMMER SWITCH -

The Epitome can be used either as a mono or stereo effect unit. Signal routing in

the Epitome depends on which effects are engaged, and the position of the

SHIMMER switch.

SHIMMER Switch Off – With the SHIMMER switch off, the effects in the

Epitome work independently, in the following order:

IN  MICROPOG  STEREO ELECTRIC MISTRESS  HOLY GRAIL PLUS  OUT

The Micro POG section is a mono effect. If both the L and R inputs are being

used, the L and R signals are combined before going through the Micro POG

octave section, while the DRY signal remains stereo through the Micro POG.

When the Micro POG is bypassed, L and R inputs remain separate.

The Stereo Electric Mistress section is stereo. The Stereo Electric Mistress will

produce separate stereo flange/chorus sounds whether it is fed by a stereo

signal or a mono signal (such as a single guitar or the output of the Micro POG).
