Performance Tips
1. The STRING9 is generally best used as the rst pedal in an effects chain.
Place distortion, modulation, delay, and reverb effects after the STRING9.
The unit will not perform well if placed in the effects loop of a guitar amp.
2. Avoid placing a distortion or overdrive in front of the STRING9, which could
muddy up the input signal and cause the tracking to be unstable. If you want
to add overdrive or distortion, place it after the STRING9.
3. For optimal playability, use a strong bridge pickup and turn the volume knob
all the way up (“10”). If you have low output pickups, you could consider using
a clean boost before the STRING9. If Auto Freeze triggers too easily, turn the
guitar’s volume down a bit.
4. The usable tracking range on the STRING9 extends up to about the 23rd fret on
the high-E of a standard guitar and down to the open A-string on a bass guitar.
5. For the most realistic string ensemble sounds, try ngerpicking with your
right hand instead of striking notes and chords with a pick.
6. For the most hi-delity sound—and true string ensemble realism—we recom-
mend connecting the STRING9’s EFFECT OUTPUT to a keyboard amp, PA, or
mixing console. Otherwise, a guitar amp will work ne.
