Connection

S1

Insert a standard ¼ inch / 6.3mm mono instrument lead into the S1’s output jack, and into the input jack of your amplifier or mixer. Turn the gain to zero. Turn the amplifier on and increase the gain and volume until the desired volume is reached.

Please note -the S1 has a rattle by design – it isn’t broken.

G1

Undo the 2 wood screws covering the battery cover and connect a standard 6LR61 9v battery. Use the supplied wedges to fix the battery securely in place. (Failure to wedge the battery securely in place may result in an unwanted sound when in use).

Insert a standard ¼ inch / 6.3mm mono instrument lead into the G1’s output jack, and into the input jack of your amplifier or mixer. Turn the gain to zero. Flick the switch on your stomp to ‘|’. Turn the amplifier on and increase the gain and volume until the desired volume is reached.

To preserve battery power, turn off ‘o’ when not in use.

P1

Remove the circular battery cover and connect a standard 6LR61 9v battery. Use the supplied wedges to fix the battery securely in place. (Failure to wedge the battery securely in place may result in an unwanted sound when in use).

Insert a standard ¼ inch / 6.3mm mono instrument lead into either of the P1’s output jacks, and into the input jack of your amplifier or mixer. Turn the gain to zero.

If playing passively, leave the switch ‘o’. If using the active output, Flick the switch on your stomp to ‘|’. Turn the amplifier on and increase the gain and volume until the desired volume is reached.

If using the play-through function, connect your instrument through the ‘Passive’ jack on the P1, then send to your amp or mixer from the ‘Active’ jack. There is no volume control on the S1, so you will need to set the balance between the stomp and your instrument via your instrument’s volume control.

To preserve battery power, turn off ‘o’ when not in use.

Playing Instructions

• Place your stomp on level ground – the stomps can pick up the sound of even the slightest wobble.

• Experiment with different footwear – hard soled shoes make a more attacking sound, whereas softer soles accentuate bass more.

• G1 and P1 react well to different types of foot strikes and where on the stomp you strike.

• G1 and P1 can also be played by resting the ball of you foot in the pedal, and striking the floor with your heal. This works especially well on wooden or hollow floors.

• Remember to adjust the settings on your amplifier or P/A to find an appropriate tone and volume your playing.

• Try different rhythm patterns. You can differentiate different parts of your performance by tapping out different rhythmic patterns. Using your stomp is an excellent way to add dynamics to your playing.

If you are experiencing feedback, this is most likely caused by placing your stomp directly in front of, or too close to ,the speaker it is playing though. If you cannot move the speaker or stomp to a better location, turn down the ‘gain’ setting on your amp and increase the ‘volume’ to compensate. Altering the tone and EQ settings will also help.

Your stomp can be cleaned with a damp cloth. It has two coatings of polyurethane varnish. After much use, this is likely to wear away, but can be re-coated with the same, or simply oiled.

It is not recommended to use a ‘splitter’ such as a Y cable or and ABY switch to combine signals into your amp from your stomp and your guitar, for example.

 

NOTE:

Big speakers produce deep bass. Small speakers do not produce deep bass. This is because a bass note is created by low frequencies, which in turn are produced by moving a speaker cone more slowly. Small speakers moving slowly do not move enough air to reproduce loud bass sounds.

The best bass responses come from big speakers.
