the EFFECT jack output is muted in bypass. This is handy when sending the
STRING9’s string effects to a different amplier or mixer channel and you
don’t want to hear your guitar out of that amp while in bypass.
To change the dry/mute DIP switch setting, do the following:
Remove the bottom cover of the STRING9.
Locate the small board with the footswitch and ribbon cable. Here you’ll
nd the DIP switch labeled dry mute and .
Change the dry/mute DIP switch setting with a small athead screwdriver.
Note: this switch is very delicate. Do not force it when changing settings.
If the switch handle doesn’t move easily, try moving it the other way rst
and then back to the position you want.
6. INPUT Jack Plug your instrument or the output of another effects pedal
into this ¼” jack. The input impedance at the INPUT jack is 1MΩ. See Tips 1 & 2
on page 7 of this manual for more information on connecting your STRING9.
7. DRY OUTPUT Jack The DRY OUTPUT jack outputs the signal present at the
INPUT jack through a buffer circuit. In either EFFECT or BYPASS mode, the dry
signal is always present at the DRY OUTPUT jack. The source impedance at the
DRY OUTPUT jack is 500Ω.
8. EFFECT OUTPUT Jack In effect mode, the EFFECT OUTPUT jack outputs the
mix set by the DRY and EFFECT volume knobs. In BYPASS mode, EFFECT out-
puts either the buffered bypass signal or is muted, depending on the setting
of the internal BYPASS MUTE DIP switch. The source impedance at the EFFECT
OUTPUT jack is 500Ω.
9. 9V Power Jack Attach the output plug from the included power supply to
the 9V power jack. The STRING9 draws 100mA at 9VDC on a center-negative
plug. Do not exceed 10.5VDC on the power jack.
10. BYPASS Footswitch and STATUS LED Press the Bypass footswitch to toggle
the EFFECT OUTPUT jack between buffered bypass/mute and EFFECT mode.
The status LED lights when you are in EFFECT mode. Change between buffered
bypass or mute—while in Bypass mode—by ipping the internal BYPASS MUTE
DIP switch. The STATUS LED blinks when waiting for a Freeze trigger or upon
receiving a new Freeze trigger.
Manual Freeze On The Bypass Footswitch
The Bypass footswitch performs double-duty, in addition to toggling between
bypass and effect modes, the footswitch also engages Manual Freeze when
the STRING9 is set to any of the last three patches: ORCH FREEZE, SYNTH
FREEZE, VOX FREEZE and the CTRL 2 knob is set to the CW half of its range.
