POWER/INPUT/OUTPUT
POWER
Connect the output plug of the supplied AC Adaptor into the 9V power jack at
the top of the Superego+. The polarity at the power jack is center-negative only,
the Superego+ draws 140mA. Do not exceed 10VDC at the power jack.
INPUT Jack
Plug the output of another effects pedal or an instrument such as guitar, bass, or
keyboard into this ¼” input jack. This jack is the main input to the Superego+.
OUTPUT Jack
Use this jack for the main output of the Superego+. Connect a ¼” cable from
the OUTPUT jack to your amplifier, another effects pedal, a mixer, or an audio
recorder. Experiment with placing other effects after the Superego+ to create
rich soundscapes.
SEND Jack
If you would like the freeze signal to go through an external effects chain while
keeping your dry signal out of this chain, use the Superego+ built-in effects loop.
Connect SEND to the input of the external effect. Alternately, you can use the
SEND jack as a “wet-only” output; when you do so, the freeze signal is muted at
the OUTPUT jack. The EFFECT knob always controls the volume at the SEND
jack.
RETURN Jack
If using the external effects loop, plug the output of the external effect(s) into
the RETURN jack. The signal present at the RETURN jack is mixed with the dry
signal and sent to the OUTPUT jack.
EXP (Expression) Jack
Connect a standard TRS expression pedal or control voltage (CV) between 0 to
5V to the EXP input to allow external control over the ATTACK, DECAY, RATE,
DEPTH, THRESHOLD, LAYER and GLISS parameters. An EXP preset can be saved
for each effect setting. The SUPEREGO+ will take a “snapshot” of all 7 knob
parameters at the heel-down position and a snapshot of all 7 knob parameters at
the toe-down position, allowing the expression pedal to sweep between the two
settings. NOTE: refer to the SETTING EXPRESSION PEDAL PRESETS section
on p. 9 of this manual.
Once an EXP preset has been saved the LED between RATE and DEPTH lights
red, otherwise this LED lights green.
You can also use an expression pedal or other CV source without programming a
preset. Each internal effect has a default expression control range that is active
by default from the factory or after erasing the expression pedal preset.
