Electro-Harmonix OPERATION OVERLORD Bedienungsanleitung

OPERATION OVERLORD

Stereo Multi-Instrumental Overdrive

Congratulations on your purchase of the OPERATION OVERLORD, an advanced,

full-featured stereo overdrive and distortion pedal. With the OVERLORD’s broad

range of options and controls you can dial in great drive sounds for keyboards,

synths, guitars, basses, and more. Active 3-band EQ controls, footswitchable

BOOST mode, and a dry blend provide versatility for different tones and

instruments. The OVERLORD also features two independent distortion channels

for use with stereo setups. Whatever your rig, use the OVERLORD to dial in your

tonal inspiration.

- MODES OF OPERATION: NORMAL VS. BOOST -

The OVERLORD operates in two modes: NORMAL and BOOST. The NORMAL

mode uses three amp-like JFET gain stages for low to medium gain sounds.

When in NORMAL mode, use the GAIN knob to control the amount of overdrive.

The BOOST mode adds a classic pedal-style overdrive circuit before the JFET

stages to increase overall distortion. BOOST is engaged with the BOOST

Footswitch and is active when the blue LED is lit. In BOOST mode, both the

GAIN and BOOST knobs are active, and the BOOST knob controls how much

additional gain from the BOOST circuit is fed into the main JFET circuit.

- USING BOOST MODE AS AN INDEPENDENT PEDAL –

The OVERLORD’s BOOST circuit can also be configured to operate on its own,

without the NORMAL mode’s JFET gain stages. To enable this, remove the 4

screws on the bottom of the OVERLORD and locate the slide switch at the

bottom of the PCB. Being careful not to touch any components, slide the switch

in the direction labeled “BOOST INDEPENDENT.”

When independent BOOST mode is enabled, the BOOST circuit is active by itself

when the BOOST LED is lit and the BYPASS (red) LED is off. In this setting, the

GAIN and BOOST knobs are disabled. All other controls function normally. When

NORMAL mode is engaged (red LED lit), the pedal functions as usual, with the

BOOST mode feeding into the JFET gain stages.

- CONTROLS -

GAIN Knob –The GAIN knob controls the amount of overdrive/distortion. As

you turn GAIN clockwise, the amount of input gain increases.

BOOST Knob –The BOOST knob controls the amount of extra gain fed into the

main circuit when the BOOST and NORMAL modes are engaged (both LEDs lit).

As BOOST is turned clockwise, the amount of distortion increases.

DRY Knob –The DRY knob mixes a clean unaltered signal with the distortion

produced by the OVERLORD. At the minimum position of the DRY knob, the

output is 100% overdrive effect, and at the maximum position the output is

100% clean. This function is useful for preserving the harmonic integrity of your

playing, which is especially useful for keyboards or bass. For guitarists, this

feature can be useful if you are stacking the OVERLORD with other drive pedals,

or are playing it through an overdriven amplifier.

INPUT LVL Switch –This switch controls the overall input level of your

instrument into the OVERLORD. Use it to set an appropriate gain level for a

variety of instruments. Set the switch to HI for low-level instruments, like a

single-coil guitar or vintage electric piano. Set the switch to NORM for

humbucker guitars and most modern keyboard workstations. Use the LO setting

for high-output instruments, like some synthesizers or boosted guitars.

Tip: The GAIN Knob, INPUT LVL switch, and DRY knob all work together. If

the INPUT LVL switch is set properly, turning the DRY knob should not

significantly change the overall volume. However, varied settings of the INPUT

LVL switch could produce some interesting higher- or lower-gain sounds. Feel

free to experiment with this switch –setting it “wrong” might sound great,

and won’t damage the circuit!

BASS Knob –Active control of the level of the bass frequency range.

MID Knob –Active control of the level of the middle frequency range.

TREBLE Knob –Active control of the level of the treble frequency range.

VOL Knob –This knob controls the overall volume output of the OVERLORD. As

this knob is turned clockwise, the output level increases.

BYPASS Footswitch and red LED –This footswitch selects whether the

OVERLORD is engaged or in buffered bypass mode. When the effect is engaged,

the red LED will be lit.

BOOST Footswitch and blue LED –This footswitch toggles Boost mode on

and off. When in Boost mode, the blue LED will be lit.

L / R INPUT Jacks –These ¼” jacks are the audio inputs. The OVERLORD can be

used with either mono or stereo inputs. When using only one input, we suggest

you use the MONO/L input. The input impedance at each jack is 1M.

L / R OUTPUT Jacks –These ¼” jacks are the audio output from the OVERLORD.

If using the OVERLORD as a mono effect (i.e. one instrument into one amplifier)

we suggest using the MONO/L input and output jacks. When using stereo inputs

and stereo outputs, each signal is routed through an independent distortion

circuit. The output impedance at each jack is 220.

Tip: The OVERLORD can also be used with a mono input and stereo output.

This can be useful for splitting your signal into two amplifiers, or sending one

signal to a mixing board and one to an amplifier.

9V Power Jack –Plug the output of the OVERLORD’s supplied EHX9.6DC

200mA AC Adapter into the 9V power jack located at the top of the pedal. The

OVERLORD requires 90mA with a center negative plug.
