BUFF/TB SWITCH. Located in the lower left corner of the circuit board is the slider
switch that allows you to run the pedal in two different states of bypass. In BUFF
mode, the reverb reflections will trail off naturally when bypassing the pedal. In this
mode, the VOL control remains active in bypass allowing you to use it as a ‘master
volume’ for your entire pedalboard. In TB mode, the pedal is completely bypassed
including the VOL control. "
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR TALISMAN
IN YOUR EFFECT CHAIN
Time based effects typically live at the end of effect chains. Running dirt pedals
and delays for example into the Talisman will allow them to remain clear and
detailed. If you run reverb before dirt pedals, the result can a bit more
compressed and less detailed than if you had set it up the other way around and
obviously distorted as well. This can be a very cool thing! It’s fun to experiment
with effects positioning and discover the relationships between them to tailor the
sounds that you are searching for!
The Talisman can be powered by any good quality filtered and regulated 9 to
18vDC power supply with a center-negative tip plug designed for use with effect
pedals. At 18vDC you will notice more output from the VOL control, and the
reflected sounds to be bigger and clearer. "
