Pedals – Electro-Harmonix

POG3

Electro Harmonix — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 17:45:04 +0000

LEFT, RIGHT, DIRECT Buttons

Press the LEFT, RIGHT, and DIRECT buttons to enable their respective outputs. The POG3 remembers the state of these outputs separately for EFFECT and BYPASS modes and their states are saved to each preset.

EXP Button

Press and release the EXP button to enable the expression input. Press and hold the EXP button for 2 seconds to enter the Expression menu.

OLED Graphical Display

Shows essential information such as preset number, preset name, status of all outputs and buttons, and more. Use the NavCoder knob to navigate around the display.

NAVCODER Knob

Allows you to navigate menus, parameters, and presets as well as adjust settings. The NavCoder provides the following movements: 1)Rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to scroll through values, presets, and lists, 2) Center press (push straight down) for preset load/unload and choosing menu options. Center press and hold for preset save, and 3) Directional pad (D-pad) in four directions: up, down, left, and right, allows for easy navigation around menus and screens.

MASTER VOL Knob

Controls the POG3’s overall output volume.

PAN Knobs

Allow each voice to be moved within the stereo field, from hard left to hard right and anywhere in between.

Q Knob

Adjusts the resonance of the FILTER. As Q is turned clockwise, the sound of the filter becomes peakier, making the filter effect more pronounced.

ENV Knob

Adjusts the depth of envelope sweep applied to the Filter frequency. A positive envelope sweeps the frequency upward from the FILTER slider’s setting and a negative envelope sweeps the frequency downward from the FILTER slider’s setting. The ENV knob’s center position disables the envelope.

SPREAD Knob

Independent of the DETUNE slider, teh SPREAD knob introduces a short delay line on the +5th, +1, and +2 voices, and the Dry voice when the DETUNE DRY button is enabled. The two suboctave voices do not go through the Spread effect. The Right channel delay time is 3x longer than the Left delay time producing a wide stereo spectrum. Right delay time maximum is 150ms while the Left maximum is 50ms. Helpful Hint: Disable Dry Detune to make best use of the Spread effect when the POG3 is routed in mono.

DRY Slider

Control the output volume of the dry/unison signal.

VOICE SLIDERS

Controls the volume of the -2, -1, +5th, +1 and +2 octave voices.

Attack Slider

Controls the attack envelope of all octave voices. As the ATTACK slider is pushed upward, the attack time increases producing a volume swell effect. Maximum attack time is 3 seconds. Push the ATTACK slider down to its minimum position to disable the attack effect. The attack effect will also work on the DRY signal whenever the DRY button below it is lit.

FILTER Slider

Controls the cutoff or center frequency of the multimode resonant filter. As the FILTER slider is pushed upward, the filter frequency rises. The FILTER control can be used to shape the tone of the POG3’s voices. All of the generated signals go through the FILTER. The dry signal can also be routed through the FILTER when the DRY button below the FILTER slider is lit. By default, the filter is set to Low-Pass. More filter options are available in the FILTER menu which is accessed by pressing and holding the DRY Filter button for about 2 seconds.

DETUNE Slider

Controls the amount of chorus/doubling effect applied to the +1 and +2 Octave signals. As the DETUNE slider is pushed up, the depth of the detune effect increases. When DETUNE is pushed down to its minimum position, the detune function is disabled. The DETUNE slider may also be applied to the dry signal by enabling the DRY button below the DETUNE slider.

INPUT GAIN Slider

Controls the level of the signal seen at the POG3’s input. The gain of this control ranges from 0.5-3X.

FOCUS Button

Toggles between the original POG octave algorithm and the Pitch Fork style algorithm for the +1 and +2 octave voices. The POG algorithm, which features lower latency, is active with the FOCUS button off. The Pitch Fork algorithm is active when the FOCUS button is lit. Focus allows the +1 and +2 voices to engage in whammystyle pitch bends and freeze effects when using Expression Warp and the two Freeze modes. Please note: Focus changes the algorithm for both the +1 and +2 octave voices simultaneously.

DRY Buttons

The DRY buttons below the ATTACK, FILTER, and DETUNE sliders route the dry signal through the corresponding effects when lit.

PRESET LED

The PRESET LED lights solid green when a preset is loaded and blinks when a loaded preset has been edited. The PRESET LED is off when no preset is loaded, as in LIVE mode.

EFFECT LED

The EFFECT LED lights solid to indicate the POG3 is in effect mode and is off in bypass.

PRESET DOWN Footswitch

Activates the current preset and then, with subsequent presses, scrolls down and loads the next preset. Press and hold this footswitch to scroll down quickly through the presets. Press the PRESET DOWN and PRESET UP footswitches at the same time to deactivate the current preset and return to LIVE mode.

PRESET UP Footswitch

Activates the current preset and then, with subsequent presses, scrolls up and loads the next preset. Press and hold this footswitch to scroll up quickly through the presets. Press the PRESET UP and PRESET DOWN footswitches at the same time to deactivate the current preset and return to LIVE mode.

EFFECT FOOTSWITCH

The EFFECT footswitch toggles the POG3 between effect mode and buffered bypass.

DIRECT OUT JACK

The DIRECT OUT jack is an unbalanced, low impedance output, which carries a buffered version of the signal present at the INPUT jack. Direct Out is enabled or muted by the DIRECT button on the top panel of the POG3. The output impedance presented at this jack is 550Ω. The maximum output level is +12.5dBu.

POWER Jack

Connect the output plug of the factory-supplied AC adapter into the 9VDC power jack. The current requirement is 300mA at 9VDC. The polarity of the power jack is centernegative. The maximum allowable power supply voltage is 10.5 VDC.

L & R OUTPUT Jacks

The LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUT jacks are unbalanced, low impedance outputs. Connect these outputs to amplifiers, a mixer, audio interface, tape recorder or any other suitable device. Use the PAN controls on the front of the POG3 to split or blend the various voices between these two jacks in fun and creative ways. You may also quickly mute or unmute these outputs using the LEFT and RIGHT buttons on the top panel. The output impedance sourced by each of these jacks is 550Ω. The maximum output level is +7.2dBu

USB Port

Connects to the Electro-Harmonix EHXport app running on a Windows or Mac computer. EHXport allows for preset editing and creation, preset transfers—for backup, restore and preset rearrangement within the POG3, firmware updates, and global settings adjustments.

MIDI IN Jack

Connect a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable to this connector to receive MIDI Control Change (CC), Program Change (PC), and MIDI Note messages. Using MIDI CC and PC messages, you can control every parameter on the POG3’s top panel. MIDI Note messages allow you to play the POG3 from a MIDI keyboard controller, turning it into an organ or synthesizer module.

MIDI OUT Jack

Connect a standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cable to this connector. MIDI OUT provides a MIDI Thru connection.

INPUT Jack

The 1/4″ INPUT jack is an unbalanced, high impedance input intended for both instruments and line level signals. The Input can accept signal amplitudes up to +6.2dBu. The input impedance presented at this jack is 2MΩ.

EXP / CV IN Jack

Supports either an expression pedal with a 1/4″ TRS plug or a control voltage ranging from 0-5V on a TS plug. Nearly all the top panel features can be controlled via expression pedal or CV and expression control is easy to setup via the expression menu. The Exp/CV In jack will accept any expression pedal that uses a potentiometer ranging from 10kΩ to 100kΩ and has the wiper connected to the tip (T) of the plug.

Lizard King

Electro Harmonix — Tue, 28 May 2024 16:06:10 +0000

POWER JACK

An optional 9VDC, center-negative power supply can be connected to the power jack to provide power without a battery. The Lizard King requires 8mA at 9VDC on a center-negative plug. Do not exceed 12VDC at the power jack.

VOLUME KNOB

Sets the output level of the Lizard King.

OCTAVE KNOB

Controls the intensity of the octave effect. Turn clockwise for more octave, or turn counterclockwise for a deeper sound.

SUN/SHADOW SWITCH

Enhances the octave fuzz and clean tones of the Lizard King. With this switch set to SUN, the octave fuzz is boosted with a more driving midrange, and the clean tone accessed by the BLEND knob has more treble and bass frequencies. When the switch is set to SHADOW, the clean tone is unchanged, and fuzz tone is tighter.

BLEND KNOB

Blends between the fuzz/octave and a clean signal with no fuzz. This is useful for maintaining the attack and low-end for bass instruments, and for allowing more harmonic detail for guitar or other chord instruments. When Blend is set fully counterclockwise, the output is a clean tone. As the knob is turned clockwise, more fuzz tone is mixed in. When Blend is set fully clockwise, the output is all octave fuzz effect.

TONE KNOB

Controls the high frequencies of the Lizard King. When the knob is fully clockwise the pedal is “wide open” – passing the full fuzz tone. As this knob is turned counterclockwise, high frequencies are rolled off.

INPUT JACK

Audio input to the Lizard King.

AMP JACK

Audio output from the Lizard King. In bypass mode, the AMP jack is directly connected to the INPUT jack.

FOOTSWITCH & STATUS LED

The footswitch engages or bypasses the effect. The status LED lights when the effect is engaged. The LED is off in bypass mode. The Lizard King employs True Bypass.

LPB-3

Electro Harmonix — Mon, 06 May 2024 20:15:03 +0000

POWER JACK

Insert the output plug of the supplied AC Adapter into the power jack. The LPB-3 requires 120mA at 9VDC on a center-negative plug. Do not exceed 12VDC at the power jack. The LPB-3 does not take batteries.

MAX SWITCH

Boosts the gain at the output stage, and sets the maximum gain of the LPB-3—from Input to Output—to either 33dB or 20dB. Set MAX to 20dB for greater dynamics; set MAX to 33dB to drive the signal harder and potentially send your amp into saturation along with higher BOOST knob settings.

Q SWITCH

Sets the resonance or bandwidth of the MID EQ. Q set to LOW mode yields an EQ that sounds broader or rounder and affects a larger range of frequencies. In HIGH mode, the EQ sounds sharper or peakier, affecting a narrow range of frequencies.

BOOST KNOB

Sets the output level of the LPB-3, basically working like a volume control.

MID LVL KNOB

Boosts or cuts the MID EQ. Turn the MID LVL knob clockwise from its noon position to boost the MID EQ frequency. Turn MID LVL counterclockwise to cut MID EQ. Set MID LVL to its center position for a flat MID EQ response.

TREBLE KNOB

Boosts or cuts frequencies above 3.25kHz. Turn the TREBLE knob clockwise from noon to boost the high end. Turn the knob counterclockwise to cut highs. Set TREBLE to its center position for a flat treble response.

PRE-GAIN KNOB

Adjusts input gain from 0dB (unity) to 20dB before the signal hits the EQ circuitry. Use PRE-GAIN in conjunction with BOOST and MAX to fine-tune the total volume and gain through the LPB-3. Pro tip: If the EQ knobs are set in the boost half of their range, signal clipping can be avoided by decreasing PRE-GAIN. If the EQ settings are set to cut, turn up PRE-GAIN for more volume.

MID FREQ KNOB

Adjusts the MID EQ center frequency, which is boosted or cut by the MID LVL knob. The frequency range of this knob is 240Hz to 3.3kHz. Pro tip: For a brighter sound, try cutting the low MIDs by setting MID FREQ to 10 o’clock and MID LVL to 11 o’clock.

BASS KNOB

Boosts or cuts frequencies below 240Hz. Turn BASS clockwise from the noon position to boost the low end. Turn the knob counterclockwise to cut. Leave BASS in its center position for a flat bass response.

INPUT JACK

Audio input jack. Input impedance 1MΩ; Max In: +20dBu

OUTPUT JACK

Audio output jack. Output impedance 660Ω; Max Out: +22dBu

FOOTSWITCH & STATUS LED

Electro Harmonix — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 18:42:18 +0000

POWER JACK

An optional 9VDC, center-negative power supply can be connected to the power jack to provide power without a battery. The Spruce Goose requires 20mA at 9VDC on a center-negative plug. Do not exceed 12VDC at the power jack.

VOL KNOB

Sets the output level of the Spruce Goose.

GAIN KNOB

Adjusts the amount of gain and distortion. As you turn this knob clockwise, your signal gets louder and more saturated.

LIFT SWITCH

LIFT gooses the input signal before it hits the overdrive circuit. The mid position provides 9dB of gain, which helps get more drive from low output pickups. The high position provides 21dB of gain, adding even more saturation and distortion. The low position does not provide any additional gain.

BASS KNOB

Controls the low frequency EQ of your signal. The bass EQ is flat at noon. As you turn BASS clockwise from noon, the bass response increases. As you turn counterclockwise from noon, the bass response is cut.

TREBLE KNOB

Controls the high frequency EQ of your signal. The higher the setting, the brighter the output signal.

INPUT JACK

POWER JACK

Attach the output plug from the included power supply to the 9V power jack. Current draw: 100mA at 9.0VDC

TAP DIV BUTTON

When the delay time is set by tap-tempo, the TAP DIV button sets the tap-division: Green – 1/8 Note equal to half your tap time. Orange – Dotted 1/8 Note equal to 3/4 your tap time. Red – 1/4 Note equal to your tap time.

BLEND KNOB

Adjusts the output mix from 100% dry to 100% wet.

DELAY KNOB

Controls the delay time, ranging from 8ms to 3s.

FILTER KNOB

Applies an adjustable low-pass or highpass filter to the delay line. Set FILTER to the center or noon position to disable the filters. Turn FILTER counterclockwise to place a low-pass filter on the delay effect, giving the Canyon Echo a sound similar to an analog delay. Turn FILTER clockwise to place a high-pass filter on the delay repeats, for an effect reminiscent of a tape delay. The further you turn FILTER in either direction, the more filtering is applied to the effect.

FDBK KNOB

Controls how many repeats the Canyon Echo generates. At minimum you get one repeat. At maximum, the repeats are nearly endless. NOTE: the filter is placed in the feedback path of the delay and filters out more signal with each repeat, limiting the maximum repeats at more extreme FILTER settings.

INPUT JACK

Audio input to the Canyon Echo.

OUTPUT JACK

Audio output from the Canyon Echo.

FOOTSWITCH & STATUS LED

Footswitch engages or bypasses the effect. The LED color indicates the selected effect type. In bypass, the LED is off.

Pico Deep Freeze

Electro Harmonix — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 15:04:06 +0000

POWER JACK

Attach the output plug from the included power supply to the 9V power jack. Current draw: 100mA at 9.0VDC

MODE BUTTON

Selects how the footswitch controls the effect. LATCH (Green LED) Play a note or chord and then press and release the footswitch to activate the effect and light the LED green. After you release the footswitch, the effect remains active and your sound sustains indefinitely. Double-tap the footswitch to end the frozen sound and enter bypass. MOMENT MODE (Orange) Play a note or chord and then press and hold the footswitch to activate the effect and light the LED. The freeze effect sustains indefinitely while you hold down the footswitch. Release the footswitch and the Deep Freeze enters bypass. AUTO MODE (Red) The Deep Freeze detects each new note or chord you play and freezes it automatically. Press the footswitch to engage the effect and light the LED red. Double-tap the footswitch to return to bypass.

DRY KNOB

Controls the output level of the dry signal.

EFFECT KNOB

Controls the output level of the effect.

SPEED/LAYER KNOB

In LATCH mode, this knob controls how much of the previously frozen sound is layered onto your new freeze. In MOMENT mode, this knob controls how quickly the frozen signal fades in and out. In AUTO mode, by default, this knob controls the fade-out time of the frozen sounds after you play a new note/chord. This can be changed to affect the attack instead of the decay of the signal, see the Auto Decay & Attack Modes section for more.

GLISS KNOB

This knob adjusts the speed of the gliss effect. Gliss morphs one frozen note or chord into the next; it is similar to the portamento function found on many synthesizers. As you turn the GLISS knob clockwise, the gliss time increases. To turn gliss off completely, turn the GLISS knob down all the way to its full counterclockwise position. PERFORMANCE NOTE: The easiest way to hear the gliss effect is to put the Deep Freeze into AUTO mode, completely turn down the DRY knob and set the GLISS and SPEED/LAYER knobs to 50% or higher.

INPUT JACK

Audio input to the Deep Freeze.

OUTPUT JACK

Audio output from the Deep Freeze.

FOOTSWITCH & STATUS LED
