Jewel Indicator
The Jewel Indicator serves two purposes: to indicate when the effect
is active and to show when gain reduction (compression) is
occurring. This is accomplished with two actual LEDs in one
housing—white for bypass and red for gain reduction. When both
are on, the resulting color is pink. Note that it is possible to bypass
the compressor while it’s in the middle of heavy gain reduction, in
which case the LED will turn red briefly until the gain reduction has
normalized. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Bypass Footswitch
This rugged footswitch has a true bypass design that bypasses the
effect and provides the original signal at the output jack.
Input Jack
This is a high-impedance input suitable for electric guitar, bass,
acoustic guitars with pickup systems, keyboards and other
instruments.
Output Jack
This is a low-impedance output jack that connects to the amp or to
the next effect pedal.
DC Power Connector
This is a standard center-negative 9VDC jack for use with
appropriate power supplies.
LED Kill Switch
This switch extinguishes the LEDs that illuminate the control
knobs—useful in maximizing battery life when running the pedal from
batteries.
Low Battery Indicator
This red LED on the front of the battery door illuminates when battery
voltage drops below a set threshold, indicating that the battery
should be replaced soon.
