will be the Soul Food’s Buffered Bypass. The switch is normally set to BUFFERED in the

factory.

In True Bypass mode, when the Turnip Greens is set to bypass, the INPUT jack is

connected directly to the AMP jack and nothing else. In Buffered Bypass mode, the bypass

signal passes through a high quality buffer circuit before it is output from the OUTPUT jack.

The buffer circuit requires power to hear your instrument in bypass mode.

9V Power Jack – Plug the output of the supplied AC adapter into the 9V power jack

located at the top of the Turnip Greens. The Turnip Greens draws 125mA at 9VDC with a

center negative plug. The Turnip Greens accepts Boss

and Ibanez

style AC Adapters.

REVERB DESCRIPTIONS

SPRING – Spring Reverb is a simulation of the spring reverb found in many classic guitar

amps. In SPRING mode, the TIME knob controls both the size of the springs and the

overall decay time. As you turn the TIME knob clockwise, the spring reverb gets bigger and

longer.

HALL – is a simulation of the reverberations heard in large spaces such as a concert hall or

cathedral. In HALL mode, the TIME knob controls the decay time of the reverb. As you turn

TIME clockwise, the reverb time increases creating a larger reverberant space. Using the

TIME control you can obtain reverb spaces ranging from a room to a large hall.

PLATE – is an emulation of a metal plate reverb commonly found in high end recording

studios during the 1960s and ‘70s. The Plate reverb is a very smooth, tonally balanced

sounding reverb that sounds great on many different instruments, especially vocals. Turn

the TIME knob clockwise to increase the decay time of the PLATE reverb. When TIME is

maxed, the PLATE reverb creates a very long reverb decay; holding each note for over 30

seconds.

REVERSE – Reverse Reverb is an emulation of the reverse reverb trick commonly

performed in studios, where a note’s reverb fades-in, in reverse of course, before the note

is actually struck. The HG Max works in real time and 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.

REMOVING BOTTOM COVER

To flip the internal Bypass Mode switch, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of

the Turnip Greens. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the bottom plate and

adjust the switch. Please do not touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you

risk damaging a component.
