Electro-Harmonix Super Switcher Bedienungsanleitung

SUPER SWITCHER

Programmable Effects Hub

Congratulations on your purchase of the Super Switcher, a full-featured

programmable effects hub that is capable of controlling your entire rig. The

Super Switcher is able to handle jobs as simple as an effects loop switcher or as

complex as a programmable effects loop preset designer. The Super Switcher

can send tap tempo to other pedals, includes two general purpose control

outputs, and features MIDI input and output allowing automated control over

just about any MIDI device for nearly endless possibilities. Scratch the surface of

tone shaping with the Super Switcher and achieve studio style effects

programming that cannot be accomplished with traditional pedal set ups. No

more tap dancing!

WARNING: Your Super Switcher comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-

200BI power supply. The Super Switcher requires 150mA at 9VDC with a center

negative plug. Use of the wrong adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may damage

your Super Switcher and void the warranty. Do not exceed 10.5VDC on the power plug.

Power supplies rated for less than 150mA will cause the Super Switcher to act unreliably.

CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

- INS, OUTS, SENDS AND RETURNS -

The Super Switcher has eight switchable effects loops, an insert loop,

mono input and stereo outputs.

Mono Input: Connect your guitar or instrument to the IN jack.

Stereo Outputs: Connect your amp(s), other effects pedals or mixer to

the OUT L and OUT R jacks. We recommend only using the L channels if

working in mono throughout your signal chain.

Mono Effects Loops 1-6: Active when illuminated buttons L1-6 are lit.

Effects loops 1-6 are mono loops arranged in series. Loops 1-6

correspond respectively to the illuminated buttons L1-6. When the

illuminated button is lit, the corresponding effects loop is active

and the signal is routed out the SEND jack and in through the RTN

(return) jack.

NOTE: If the loop is active with nothing plugged into it, the signal

will be cut off and no sound will come out of the output.

Insert Loop: Always on, hardwired loop between effects loops 5 and 6.

Series insert loop is placed between effects loops 5 and 6

When nothing is plugged into the SEND and RETURN of the insert

loop the signal bypasses the insert loop.

If an effect is placed in the insert loop, the signal will always be

routed through the effect.

Perfect for always having manual control of a certain effect.

Ideal for an always ON type of effect such as a volume pedal.

The Insert Loop is active even when master bypass is engaged.

Stereo Effects Loops 7-8: Active when buttons L7-8 are lit.

Effects loops 7 & 8 are stereo loops arranged in series. When

either of their illuminated buttons are lit (L7-8), the corresponding

effects loop is active.

Loop 7 has a single, mono SEND jack.

Loop 7 has separate left and right RTN jacks.

Loop 8 has separate left and right SEND jacks.

Loop 8 has separate left and right RTN jacks.

Loop 7 or 8 can be used in mono: connect to only their L channels.

Bypass Switching: Analog, mechanical relay bypass switching.

With no additional features enabled (buffer, boost, etc.) the Super

Switcher features mechanical relay true bypass switching.

Master Bypass: The Super Switcher’s CTRL 1 footswitch can be set up

to engage master bypass. Master bypass connects the input signal to

both OUT L and OUT R. The hardwired Insert Loop between Loops 5 & 6

is still active, even in master bypass.

- ILLUMINATED BUTTONS -

There are 10 illuminated buttons on the Super Switcher: L1-8, PC & CC.

L1-8 (Loop1 –Loop8):

The illuminated buttons for loop 1-8 both control and display the

on/off status of the corresponding effects loop.

Pressing an illuminated button will light the button and enable the

corresponding effects loop.

PC and CC Buttons: MIDI Program Change and Control Change.

The illuminated buttons for PC and CC control the message

transmit status for the Super Switcher.

When the PC illuminated button is pressed the Super Switcher will

transmit the associated Program Change information.

When the CC illuminated button is pressed the Super Switcher will

transmit the associated Control Change information.

The PC and CC buttons are also used to edit MIDI messages.

- FOOTSWITCHES AND LEDS -

Footswitches 1-8:

Footswitches 1-8 engage and disengage the corresponding presets

1-8 for the bank that is currently selected.

In both Instant Access Modes:

IA2

, footswitches 1-8 directly

control the corresponding on/off status of effects loops 1-8.

Footswitches BANK UP and BANK DOWN:

BANK UP and BANK DOWN footswitches increment or decrement

through the preset banks. There are 16 banks each with 8 presets.

PRESET Footswitch:

The PRESET footswitch toggles the Super Switcher between its

normal Preset Mode and a manual mode called Instant Access

Mode.

TAP Footswitch:

Two or more presses on the TAP footswitch updates the BPM

setting for the Super Switcher.

The TAP footswitch also controls the tempo signal that is output

from the TAP jack.

TUNER Footswitch:

When the TUNER footswitch is pressed, the Super Switcher sends

the IN signal directly to the TUNER jack.

When TUNER is active, the Super Switcher’s effects loops and

outputs are muted.

BOOST Footswitch:

The BOOST footswitch turns ON/OFF the stereo output boost.

The BOOST circuit is after loop 8.

CTRL 1 Footswitch:

The CTRL 1 footswitch can be used to switch amp channels,

trigger remote effects etc.

CTRL 1 can be set normally open or closed.

CTRL 1 can be set to momentary or latching.

CTRL 1 can be set as a master bypass button.

CTRL 2 Footswitch:

The CTRL 2 footswitch can be used to switch amp channels,

trigger remote effects, etc.

CTRL 2 can be set to normally open or closed.

CTRL 2 can be set to momentary or latching.

- BOOST AND VALUE KNOBS -

BOOST Knob:

The BOOST knob is a manual analog control for the switchable

stereo output clean boost.

At fully counter-clockwise, boost is at unity gain. Turn up the

BOOST knob for a volume boost.

The maximum gain of the Boost circuit is +20dB.

VALUE Rotary Encoder Knob:

The VALUE knob is a rotary encoder with a push button. This knob

continuously turns in either direction. VALUE is used to navigate

and edit the Super Switcher’s menus.

VALUE can be used to edit the BPM of the Super Switcher, change

banks, navigate menus and change settings.

PRESET MODE

ENGAGE PRESETS

Preset Mode is the main default mode for the Super Switcher.

When in Preset Mode, the PRESET footswitch LED will be lit, and the

character display will show the current BANK number.

In Preset Mode each footswitch: 1-8, engages or disengages the saved

preset: 1-8 for the current bank.

SELECTING BANKS

To change the current bank press the BANK UP or BANK DOWN

footswitch. VALUE can also be turned to change banks.

When a bank change is made, the bank number in the character display

will begin to blink. The new bank is not active until you press the VALUE

encoder button. The newly selected bank will load with no preset

selected.

Alternatively, both a new bank and a preset can be loaded by pressing

footswitches 1-8 while the bank numbers are blinking. The new preset

will load and the display will stop blinking.

The display will also stop blinking if you return to the current bank

without activating a new preset.

EDITING/SAVING PRESETS

The Super Switcher automatically saves any edits that are made to the

current preset.

Presets are saved at the time you press footswitch 1-8. Whether you

disengage the current preset or directly engage a different preset, any

edits will be saved to the preset that was being worked on.

When a preset is engaged, press the illuminated buttons to enable or

disable effects loops and MIDI messages. The control functions such as

BOOST, CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 can also be saved per preset.

INSTANT ACCESS MODE

INSTANT ACCESS MODE 1

Instant Access Mode 1 is used to have instant access to all of the effects

loops using the current preset as a basic set up.

ENTERING INSTANT ACCESS MODE 1: When a preset is active,

pressing the PRESET footswitch will turn off the PRESET LED and the

Super Switcher will enter Instant Access Mode. The Character display

will read

. The LEDs for footswitches 1-8 will change to mirror the

illuminated buttons. If preset 01.1 had loops 4 and 6 engaged, in

Instant Access Mode, the LEDs for footswitches 4 and 6 will light.

The LED for footswitch 1 will turn off since that effect loop is not

active.

MAKING CHANGES: Instant Access Mode can be used to quickly

turn effects on and off within a current preset. Simply press the

footswitch or press the illuminated button to engage or disengage

the corresponding effects loop.

SAVING CHANGES: To save the changes made in Instant Access

Mode to the current preset, press and hold the PRESET footswitch

until the

character display blinks for a second. Any changes made

will be lost if Instant Access Mode is exited without saving.

EXITING INSTANT ACCESS MODE 1: To return to Preset Mode

press the PRESET footswitch. Depending on whether the edits made

in Instant Access Mode were saved, either the old preset will reload,

or the new preset with the new changes will load.

INSTANT ACCESS MODE 2

Press the PRESET footswitch while no preset is active and the Super

Switcher will enter the 2nd Instant Access Mode.

IA2

will show on the

character display and the IA2 preset will be loaded. IA2 will auto save

any changes made to the IA2 preset. There is only one IA2 preset and it

can be called from any bank as long as no preset is active. To exit simply

press the PRESET footswitch.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

BOOST

The Super Switcher has a clean boost function that is placed after loop 8

at the output of the signal chain. The boost is stereo—using the boost

function will not collapse a stereo signal to mono. The boost function can

be turned on and off at any time by pressing the BOOST footswitch. The

ON/OFF status of the boost function can be saved per preset but the

amount of boost gain can only be adjusted by turning the BOOST knob.

The BOOST knob setting is not saved with presets.

CTRL 1 & CTRL 2

The Super Switcher has two control functions that can be used as

general-purpose switches. This is useful to change channels on

amplifiers, turn amp reverb or tremolo on and off, or switch parameters

on effects pedals remotely. The control functions can be configured as

normally open or normally closed switches. Latching or momentary

behavior can also be selected. The CTRL 1 function can also be set up to

act as a master bypass for the Super Switcher’s effect loops.

Engage/disengage the control functions by pressing the CTRL 1 or CTRL

2 footswitches. The control functions are always live and available. The

control function ON/OFF status can be saved per preset. Each switches

setup behavior is global for CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 and not saved with

presets. See SETUP MENU.

TAP FOOTSWITCH & OUTPUT

The Super Switcher has an auxiliary output jack for tap tempo. This

output can be configured to send out different signals based on the

setup. See SETUP MENU.

When the

tAP

setting is set to

, the Super Switcher automatically

outputs updated tap signals based on adjusting the BPM with the VALUE

knob or new tempo information from the TAP footswitch. The Super

Switcher waits until a new BPM is set and then sends four tap pulses

from the TAP output jack. If the Super Switcher is receiving MIDI clock,

the TAP output will continuously send a tap signal at the same tempo as

the MIDI clock.

When

tAP

setting is set to

OFF

, the TAP output directly mirrors presses

to the TAP footswitch, behaving like a manual tap tempo footswitch.

MIDI CONTROL

MIDI clock ON/OFF are available in SETUP.

The tables on the following page list the Program Change (PC) and

Control Change (CC) messages that the Super Switcher responds to on

its MIDI IN connector.

PC Messages: Use PC messages to directly load presets through MIDI.

For example, if you want directly load preset 03.1, send PC 16.

CC Messages: Use CC messages to directly perform button pushes

through MIDI. CC Values 0-63 send an “off” message, 64-127 send “on”.

We recommend interleaving on and off messages for the same button

push.
