Power switch in jack

This unit has a replaceable battery.  

To access the battery compartment, turn the unit over and 
rest it on a soft surface.

Remove the screw that secures the battery door and lift 
the door off.  The battery rests inside a bracket within the 
opening.

It  is  OK  to  use  an  alkaline,  cabon-zinc,  lithium,  or 
rechargeable battery.

After  servicing  the  battery,  immediately  replace  the 
battery door to avoid misplaced parts. 

** To prevent damage from corroded / leaking batteries, always remove the battery before putting the unit in storage. 

Battery installation and replacement

The power is on whenever a cable is plugged in to the 1/4” audio output jack.

To save battery life, unplug the audio output cable when the unit is not in use.  (This is not necessary while an AC adapter is connected)

Using an AC adapter

This unit requires a BOSS-type AC adapter with 9 volts DC 
output and tip negative polarity.  

Its current requirement is only 15mA, and it is OK to share 
power with other FX pedals using a daisy-chain cable.

It is protected against reverse polarity and overvoltage.

If the LEDs don’t ash after connecting an AC adapter:

Be sure a mono-type cable is plugged in to Audio Out

Verify the AC adapter has tip-negative polarity

Check for damage to the AC adapter cable 

Using a daisy-chain power cable (not included)

Q:

 Does it need time to warm up?

A:

 No, its ready to use as soon as power is applied.
