Quick Start

Power

To power the unit, connect the included 9V DC power supply to the jack labeled DC 9V on the back

panel. When running a 3

party power supply, the Spectrum requires an isolated 9V DC power

source with a minimum of 165mA and a center-negative plug.

Warning: Using a non-Source Audio supply, especially an unregulated supply, could damage the unit.

Please be very cautious when using 3

-party power supplies.

Guitar/Audio Connections

Using standard ¼” mono cables, connect your guitar, bass, or other instrument to the INPUT 1 jack

and your amp (or the next audio device in the signal chain) to the OUTPUT 1 jack. When running a

stereo rig, also use Input and Output 2.

Once the power and audio connections have been made, the Spectrum is ready to play.

Brief Knob, Footswitch, and Button Descriptions

Please note that all of the knobs control two different parameters. To access the alternate

parameters (SENSE, MIX, RES, and VOL – printed with white graphics), press the ALT (Alternate

Function) button located on top of the pedal. Upon pressing the ALT button the ALT LED (small LED

on the top face of the pedal) will begin to blink indicating the accessibility of the Alternate knob

parameters. The secondary parameters will remain accessible while adjustments are being made
