LEDs
Engage / Bypass LED
The Engage / Bypass LED above the footswitch indicates if the effect is active (lit) or bypassed (not lit).
The color of this LED indicates whether the pedal is in Standard or Preset Mode. See the Standard
and Preset Modes section for info on the pedal’s two modes.
External Control LED
The small LED located between the MIX and LEVEL knobs is the External Control LED. When lit, it
indicates that external control mode (expression, hot hand, or MIDI) is active. This LED also blinks in
time with the tremolo effects when External Tap Tempo Control is activated. For more information
on enabling external control, see the External Control section. This LED also blinks whenever the
pedal receives Neuro data.
Footswitch
Enables or bypasses the effect. The Footswitch also toggles the pedal between Standard Mode
(green LED) and Preset Mode (red LED). To change modes press and hold the footswitch from the
bypassed state until the center LED changes color. Also, while in Preset Mode, pressing and holding
the footswitch (from the engaged state) will save a preset to the current position of the Effect Toggle
Switch. See the Standard and Preset Modes section for info on the pedal’s modes.
Control Input Button
This small button at the top side of the pedal is used to access the pedal’s secondary tremolo
controls (see the Secondary Functions listed in the Knobs and Effect Toggle Switch sections). The
CONTROL INPUT button is also used when configuring external control. See the External Control
section for more details.
Standard and Preset Modes
The True Spring Reverb features two user modes - Standard Mode and Preset Mode. To alternate
between the two modes press and hold the footswitch from the disengaged state until the center
LED changes color.
Standard Mode (Green LED)
If the center LED is green, the True Spring is in Standard Mode. In Standard Mode the pedal functions
like a traditional effects pedal. We call it the “what you see is what you get mode,” meaning that the
current physical positions of the knobs are reflected in the output. Note: If you move the toggle
switch to a new position all the primary knob parameters will maintain the settings of the physical
knob positions, but the secondary knob functions (tremolo DEPTH and RATE) will reset to zero.
Preset Mode (Red LED)
If the center LED is red the True Spring is in Preset Mode. This mode allows you to save three user
presets, one for each of the Effect Toggle Switch positions. When a preset is recalled, all of the
parameters instantly jump to their saved values, regardless of the physical position of the knobs. This
allows you to quickly engage your favorite settings without having to adjust the knob positions.
