3. PANNING OUT Jack
This is an output jack used for stereo output.
What is output through this jack differs depend-
ing on how the Mode Switch is set.
Mode 1 to 6, 8 to 11:
Delay sound is output through the Panning
Out and Output Jacks in sequence, and
therefore the Panning Delay effect is created.
* When the Panning Out Jack is used, the interval
of the delay sounds will be half of the delay time.
Mode 7 :
Only the direct sound is output though the
Panning Out Jack. Only effect sound is
output through the Output Jack (MONO).
4. OUTPUT Jack (MONO)
The output jacks are used to connect the unit to
amplifiers or other devices. When you are using
a mono output, connect the cord to the OUT-
PUT jack (MONO).
5. Pedal Switch
This switch turns the effects ON/OFF.
1. AC Adaptor Jack
Accepts connection of an AC Adaptor (option-
ally available BOSS PSA-Series). By using an AC
Adaptor, you can play without being concerned
about how much battery power you have left.
* As soon as you connect the AC adapter, the unit is
turned ON.
* You may find that it is a good idea to keep a battery
installed in the unit even while using an adaptor.
That way your playing won't be disrupted even if
the adaptor is accidentally disconnected.
* [f you are going to use an AC adaptor, be sure to use
the specified unit (BOSS PSA-Series). Use of any
other adaptor may result in damage, malfunction
or electric shock. Also, if you are not going to be
using it for an extended period of time, disconnect
the AC adaptor from the AC outlet.
2. CHECK Indicator
This indicator shows whether an effect is ON/
OFF, and also doubles as the Battery Check
indicator. The indicator lights when an effect is
ON. Ifthis indicator goes dim or no longer lights
while an effect is ON, the battery is near exhaus-
tion and should be replaced immediately.
6. Thumbscrew
This thumbscrew is loosened to open the pedal,
allowing battery replacement. For instructions
on how to replace the battery, please refer to
"CHANGING THE BATTERY" (page 19).
T. INPUT Jack
This jack accepts input signals (coming from a
guitar, some other musical instrument, or an-
other effects unit).
* The INPUT jack also serves as the power switch
while using the unit on battery power. Power is
turned on whenever a plug is inserted into the
INPUT jack, and is turned off when the plug is
disconnected. When not using the unit, you should
disconnect any cord connected to the INPUT jack.
8. TEMPO Jack
Connect the Footswitch (FS-5U : optional) used
for the Tempo Delay (Mode 8 to 11) to this jack.
* For a detailed explanation about how to use the
Tempo Delay, see "USING THE TEMPO DELAY"
(page 15).
