Electro-Harmonix Nano Metal Muff Instruktionsmanual

Indledning

The Electro-Harmonix Nano Metal Muff is a compact, high-gain distortion pedal designed for electric guitar, featuring an integrated noise gate. This pedal provides extensive tonal shaping capabilities suitable for various metal genres, from percussive rhythms to soaring leads. Its robust construction and intuitive controls make it an essential tool for achieving aggressive, articulate distortion.

Opsætning

Follow these steps to properly set up your Nano Metal Muff pedal:

1. Strømtilslutning: The Nano Metal Muff can be powered by a 9V battery (included) or an optional 9V DC power adapter (center-negative). To install the battery, remove the four screws on the bottom plate of the pedal. Connect the 9V battery to the battery clip inside the pedal. For external power, connect the adapter to the 9V power jack located at the top of the pedal.

2. Indgangsforbindelse: Connect your electric guitar or other instrument to the INPUT stikket på højre side af pedalen ved hjælp af et standard 6,5 mm instrumentkabel.
3. Udgangsforbindelse: Tilslut PRODUKTION stikket på venstre side af pedalen til din amplifier's input or the next pedal in your signal chain using another standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
4. Aktivering: Press the footswitch to engage or bypass the effect. The STATUS LED will illuminate red when the effect is active.

Betjeningskontrol

The Nano Metal Muff features six control knobs and two indicator LEDs:

• VOL (lydstyrke): This knob controls the overall output volume level of the pedal. Adjust clockwise for higher volume.
• PORT: This knob adjusts the threshold of the built-in noise gate. Turning it clockwise increases the gate's sensitivity, effectively muting unwanted noise and hum when no signal is present or when the signal falls below the set threshold. The PORT LED illuminates green when the noise gate is active and muting the output signal.
• DIST (Distortion): This knob controls the amount of input gain and distortion. Turning it clockwise increases the intensity of the distortion effect, from subtle crunch to heavy, saturated metal tones.

• DISKANT: This knob provides +/-10dB of boost or cut for the high frequencies. Adjust to shape the brightness and presence of your tone.
• MID: This knob offers +/-15dB of boost or cut for the mid-range frequencies. The mid-range control is crucial for shaping the character and punch of your metal tone.
• BAS: This knob provides +/-14dB of boost or cut for the low frequencies. Use this to add depth and thickness to your sound.
• STATUS LED (Red): Indicates whether the pedal effect is engaged (on) or bypassed (off).
• GATE LED (Green): Indicates when the noise gate is actively muting the output signal.

Opretholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Nano Metal Muff pedal, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre pedalens yderside. Undgå at bruge slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler, da de kan beskadige overfladen eller de indvendige komponenter.
• Opbevaring: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply or remove the 9V battery to prevent battery drain and potential leakage. Store the pedal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Forbindelser: Kontrollér regelmæssigt alle kabelforbindelser for slitage. Sørg for, at stikkene er fri for støv og snavs.
• Udskiftning af batteri: If using battery power, replace the 9V battery when the pedal's performance degrades or the STATUS LED dims.
