User Manual

DRY Knob: This knob adjusts the volume of the unaltered dry instrument signal.
Set DRY to fully CCW and no dry signal will be heard. As you turn DRY clockwise, the
volume of the dry signal will increase. Unity gain is at approximately the “2 o’clock”
setting.
EFFECT Knob: This control adjusts the volume of the wet effect signal. Fully CCW
yields no wet effect signal. As you turn the EFFECT knob clockwise the effect’s
volume increases.
Footswitch: In Momentary mode, the footswitch triggers the Superego to freeze a
new note, chord or sound when the footswitch is pressed down. The sound will be
sustained as long as the footswitch is held down. Once the footswitch is released, the
Superego goes into bypass.
In Latch mode, the footswitch triggers the Superego to freeze a new note, chord or
sound each time it is pressed. When you release the footswitch, the Superego
continues to sustain the sound. A double-tap is required to disengage the effect.
In Auto mode, pressing the footswitch once will engage the effect to sample new
notes, chords and sounds automatically. If the footswitch is held down while the
effect is ON, the Superego stops accepting new notes while sustaining the last sound
that was sampled, enabling the musician to play over the frozen sound. A double-tap
of the footswitch is required to disengage the effect.
Toggle Switch: The toggle switch selects the mode of operation for the Superego.
Point the switch to the left and Superego is in Latch mode. Set the toggle to the
center position, for Momentary mode. Set the switch to the right for Auto mode.
INPUT Jack: Connect the output of your guitar into the INPUT jack of the Superego.
The input impedance presented at the INPUT jack is 2.2Mohms.
OUTPUT Jack: Connect the OUTPUT jack of the Superego into the input of your
amplifier, or another effects pedal. The output impedance is approximately 200
ohms.
SEND Jack and RETURN Jack: The SEND and RETURN jacks help to form an
effects loop for patching in additional effects that will process the wet signal only.
SEND is an output with impedance < 5k ohms. RETURN is an input with impedance =
2.2M. To properly connect an external effects loop, connect the SEND jack to the
input of the first effect in the effects loop. Connect the output of the last effect in the
loop to the RETURN jack. While in Bypass, the SEND jack is muted.
The Send jack can also be used independently as a “wet out”. To use the SEND jack
as a “wet out”, connect the send jack to another amplifier, or effects chain, and leave
the RETURN jack disconnected.
9V PWR Jack – Connect the output plug of the supplied AC Adaptor into the 9V
power jack at the top of Superego. The Superego’s current requirement is 140mA at
9VDC. The polarity of the power jack is center negative. The maximum allowable
power supply voltage is 10.5 VDC.
