cannot create backwards reverb for a note before it is actually played so the
REVERSE reverb in the HG Max will create reverse reverb after the note is
sounded. The length of time between playing a note and hearing the reverse
reverb completely fade-in is set by the TIME knob. The further you turn TIME
clockwise, the longer the note will take to fade-in. For short TIME settings, the
REVERSE mode can sound like a slap-back echo.
- CONTROLS -
REVERB Switch Knob – Chooses the reverb mode. From left to right, the
modes are SPRING, HALL, PLATE and REVERSE.
TIME Knob – Adjusts the decay time, or reverb length/size, for the SPRING,
HALL and PLATE reverbs. In REVERSE mode, the TIME knob sets the length of
time between striking a note and the reverb fade-in. While in PLATE mode, when
TIME is set to its maximum position, the reverb decay is over 30 seconds
creating a lush reverb wash with each new note.
BLEND Knob – Controls the wet/dry mix from 100% Dry (counter-clockwise
position) to 100% Wet (clockwise position). As the BLEND knob is turned, the
overall output volume remains nearly constant. Your Dry signal remains analog
from input to output through the HG Max.
FOOTSWITCH and LED – The Footswitch selects whether the HG Max is
engaged or in True Bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED is lit.
INPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the audio input for the HG Max. The input
impedance is 1M.
AMP Jack – This ¼” jack is the audio output from the HG Max. The output
impedance is 550.
9V Power Jack – Plug the output of the AC Adapter supplied with the Holy Grail
Max into this jack located at the top of the enclosure. The HG Max draws 80mA
at 9VDC with a center negative plug and accepts Boss
®
and Ibanez
®
style AC
Adapters. Please do not allow the power supply voltage to exceed 10VDC. The
Holy Grail Max does not take batteries.
