Summary

Class B Computing Device Information

Interference Troubleshooting Steps

User is encouraged to try to correct interference by reorienting antenna, relocating equipment, or moving away from receiver.

Consulting Experts for Interference

User should consult a dealer or radio-television technician for additional suggestions.

Radio-TV Interference Booklet

Mentions a helpful booklet from the FCC for identifying and resolving radio-TV interference problems.

Introduction to the PEP 4000

PEP 4000 Core Functionality

Provides remotely-controlled digital audio processing for musicians and recording engineers.

Delay and Bandwidth Features

Offers continuously-adjustable delay settings with computer-controlled frequency bandwidth tracking.

MIDI Compatibility and Companion Products

Designed for total compatibility with Peavey MIDI Program Series and other MIDI products.

Front Panel Controls Overview

Input Level Control (A)

Sets input sensitivity for optimum matching with input signal; affects MIDI receive channel on power-up.

Active LED (B)

Indicates minimum signal level necessary for operation, 12 dB below clipping onset.

Limit LED (C)

Indicates 6 dB headroom remaining; lights occasionally during peaks, not prolonged.

Feedback Level Control (D)

Adjusts regeneration for flange effects and decay rate for slap-back echo effects.

LFO Modulation Depth (E)

Adjusts the depth or width of the LFO modulation sweep.

LFO Modulation Speed (F)

Adjusts the frequency or sweep rate of LFO modulated effects, 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz.

Output Mix Level Control (G)

Sets the mix ratio for the delay and dry output signal levels.

Sync Indicator LED (H)

Illuminates when the PEP 4000 has acquired a sync or trigger signal from an external source.

Clock Indicator LED (I)

Flashes at the repeat rate of the delay line, providing a visual tempo strobe.

Delay Time Display (J)

Four-digit LED display showing numeric representation of delay time or MIDI receive channel.

Program Control Matrix Functions

Delay Increment/Decrement Keys (K)

Used to increase or decrease the displayed delay time in specific increment steps.

Bank A/B Select Key (L)

Selects between Bank A and Bank B for program storage and recall.

Program Keys 1-5 (M)

Used to recall or store programs within the processor's memory.

Sync Control Key (N)

Enables Sync mode for synchronizing delay time to an external trigger source.

Fade Control Key (O)

Enables Fade mode for delayed signal to fade out over original dry signal.

Feedback Phase Reversal Key (P)

Changes the phase of the feedback signal by 180 degrees.

Feedback Filter Key (Q)

Enables a low-pass filter in the feedback path to eliminate noise regeneration.

Hold Control Key (R)

Enables Hold function for continuous replay of a frozen digital signal.

Pass (Bypass) Control Key (S)

Bypasses the PEP 4000, disabling any effect in use.

Power and Rear Panel Features

Power On/Off Switch (T)

Supplies AC power to the PEP 4000; saves last settings in memory upon power off.

Stereo Chorus Output Jacks (U)

1/4" jacks providing in-phase and out-of-phase delayed signals mixed with dry signal.

Output Level Switch (V)

Selects maximum signal level available at output jacks (+0 dBm or -20 dBM).

Output Level Control (W)

Regulates the level of signals appearing at the Stereo Chorus Output jacks.

Sync In Jack (X)

Provides external trigger or sync input; TTL compatible, active low.

MIDI In Socket (Z)

Standard DIN connector for MIDI controller interface to recall programs.

MIDI Thru Socket (Y)

Auxiliary MIDI output for chaining MIDI-compatible devices.

Input and MIDI Connections

Signal Input Jack (AA)

Stereo 1/4" jack for mono or differential input signals.

Input Level Switch (BB)

Selects input signal sensitivity range (-20 dBM or +0 dBM).

Hold/Bypass Footswitch Jack (CC)

Stereo 1/4" jack for optional dual-button momentary footswitch.

Line Cord (DD)

Three-wire AC cable with grounding facilities; do not remove ground pin.
