Follow these steps for configuration:
1. Press the CONTROL INPUT BUTTON to enable external control. The CONTROL LED should be lit red.
2. Press and hold the CONTROL INPUT BUTTON until the CONTROL LED begins to blink slowly
(approximately one blink per second).
3. Tap the external switch once.
4. Click the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH once. The CONTROL LED will blink faster (about 2 blinks per
second). Now, it is time to map the external switch to the effect parameters.
5. Move the knob(s) you wish to control with the external switch to the maximum desired
position, then click the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH. The CONTROL LED will now blink even faster
(about 4 blinks per second). Note that you may control one or more knobs with the external
switch, up to six total knobs.
6. Move the knob(s) you wish to control with the expression pedal to the minimum desired
position, then click the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH. The CONTROL LED will now be lit solid red.
7. After setting the minimum and maximum knob positions, the parameter mapping is
complete.
Hot Hand Input
The Hot Hand 3 Wireless Effects Controller can be connected directly to the Aftershock’s CONTROL
INPUT for motion control of the Aftershock’s effects parameters. The Hot Hand has two axes of
expression: X and Y. These signal are carried on the two rings of the TRRS cable that comes from the
Hot Hand receiver.
Configuring the Hot Hand
When the Hot Hand is connected to the Aftershock, follow these simple steps to calibrate it and map
it to control different effect parameters.
