CHANGING THE BATTERY
When the indicator goes dim or no longer lights
while an effect is on, it means that the battery is
nearly dead and must be replaced.
Replace the battery following the steps below.
1.Loosen the thumbscrew at the front of the
pedal, then lift the pedal upwards to open the
unit.
* The thumbscrew can be left in the pedal
while changing the battery.
2.Remove the old battery from the battery hous-
ing, and remove the snap cord connected to it.
3.Connect the snap cord to the new battery, and
