User manual MARSHALL EFFECT PEDAL RF-1 REFLECTOR

[. . . ] For over 40 years the Marshall name has been synonymous with the greatest guitar tones in music. We have worked hand in hand with guitarists from all levels throughout the world to maintain and improve that special ingredient, `The Marshall Sound. ' Our range of effects pedals gives the opportunity to augment the classic Marshall tone to add Marshall character to a guitar set-up. Do not expose the apparatus to rain or moisture. No objects filled with liquids should be placed on or near the apparatus. [. . . ] The Reflector's dual outputs offer the choice of using a passive bypass for the main signal path to ensure complete tonal integrity or allowing the pedal to spill-over allowing your reverb tails to naturally die away. Combined the outputs create a stereo reverb effect creating a wide spacious field. Below is a complete run down of the Reflector's features for your information. We have also enclosed a number of suggested settings to help guide you. It should be remembered that these are only suggested settings and you should really experiment as much as possible. Setting Up Always use good quality shielded leads. Always use 9V regulated DC supply with centre negative rated at 80mA or above. Although it may seem obvious the first action in achieving a good effected sound (be it duration / compression etc. ) is to find the perfect bypassed sound. This will then allow the correct level to be set with the effect unit to allow a cut or boost in volume and a realistic tone. On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume) to a setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to get unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal shaping on the amplifier preamp. Features 1. 'In' Jack Socket This is the input jack for connection to your guitar or to the output of another effects pedal when linking pedals together. 2. 'Expression' Socket An expression pedal can be connected to this socket to control the decay time. Moving the pedal overrides the reverb time setting on the pedal allowing you to increase/decrease the control as you perform. 2 3 ENGLISH 3. 'Out 1 / Left' Jack Socket - Passive Bypass Out 1 is connected to a passive bypass circuit. The passive bypass ensures complete tonal integrity by disconnecting the output of the effects circuit when not in operation. When a jack is connected to Out 1 the pedal operates in mono mode. 6. Reverb Time Controls the decay time of the reverb tail from no tail (fully anti-clockwise), providing just the initial sense of space, to full decay (fully clockwise), providing long reverb tails trailing off into the modelled space. 4. 'Out 2 /Right' Jack Socket - Spill-Over Out 2 is connected to a spill-over circuit. When the pedal is switched off the reverb tail it has produced is allowed to 'spill' and naturally decay over your playing while the input feeding the effects circuit is switched off.

To replace the battery, open the easily accessed coin screw battery cover plate by loosening screw as shown, then disconnect the battery connector lead. Use PP3 or equivalent battery (for improved battery life use alkaline type). [. . . ]
