User's Manual For: XD1, SP1, -TREME ORTION Shred Pro FZD, and vintage distortion

Introduction Thank you, and congratulations on your choice for GNI Music's products. Lots of work from engineers and professional musicians were spent in order to create really high-end pedals. These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of our pedals. Please read, in order to feel assured you're ready to explore all available resources. Please, keep this book for future reference. For more information and hints, check www.gnimusic.com. Connections Power: All pedals covered in this book can be used with standard 9V batteries, or DC power adaptors. These accessories are not included. Installing battery: Install 9V standard battery bellow the pedal, as shown in the figure. Be careful not to force the chord. Note that low batteries can compromise the sound quality, even when the effect is turned off (bypass mode). Remove the battery when your pedal is not in use. Using DC adaptor: The adaptor is in the back part of the unit. Please ensure you have an adaptor complying with the following specifications: 9V, DC, regulated adaptor. Polarity according to the figure. 300 ma (recommended). 9V, DC WARNING: Unregulated or switched mode supplies may cause noise. Wrong tension values or reversed polarity may cause permanent damage to the pedal, not covered by warranty. Input and output Input accepts signals from the guitar or another effects unit. Output is used to connect the pedal to the amplifier or another device. In some cases these s serve as power switches, meaning your unit may not turn on unless they are connected. This is an extra feature to save battery in case pedal is not being used. ADVICE: Cables are passive components with nonnegligible capacitance. They can possibly interfere with sound's signal. In order to achieve better results, make your connections with good quality cables. True Buffer Bypass (TBB) When the effect is turned off, input signal passes to output through an active ( opamp ) buffer, and a mechanical switch. Buffer lowers signal's impedance, preserving its level and high tone contents. Mechanical switches are used to eliminate the need for some electronic components that usually degrade sound's quality in pure-electronic bypass pedals. Please note that this bypass system requires power to work. Signal will not pass if you are not using an adaptor or battery. Booster (AS1 and SP1) The independent Booster pedal that compliments AS1 (not covered in this book) and SP1 is a very versatile resource to be used specially when doing a solo performance. When activated by the respective footswitch, it increases output level up to 8dB. Please note that booster works either with the clean sound or with the effect. A bicolor led indicates booster's intensity, which can be adjusted at the respective Boost potentiometer. Led's color changes from green (0 db no gain) to red (8 db maximum gain).

-TREME ORTION XD1 X-Treme Distortion can perform from a light distortion to an xtreme one. This is accomplished by turning on two adjustable distortion stages simultaneously, as you press the x-treme pedal. More than adding distortion, this also increases the output level, emphasizing your solo over the band. Sample settings: (Created by some of the professional Brazilian guitarrists who worked with GNI on the development of each pedal). LOW HIGH LOW HIGH The unit also brings a 3-pos mod switch which lets you choose a vintage classic timbre, a modern heavy timbre or an intermediate one. power adaptor EXTREME 1 2 3 MOD ext. on LEVEL EXTREME 1 2 3 MOD ext. on LEVEL Controls: LOW HIGH Dist: This adjusts intensity of the first distortion stage. Low / High: These two knobs adjust the respective frequency ranges. 1 2 3 Level: Effect's output level. output EXTREME extreme led effect led XD1 - X-Treme Distortion extreme ext. MOD on GNI LEVEL effect input MOD Switch: This gives you three different timbres according to the selected position. Effect led s color changes according to this setting. 1.

Extreme: This adjusts intensity of the second distortion stage, which is enabled when you press the x-treme pedal. battery housing Extreme Led ( ext. ): This indicates when the extreme mode is enabled. If the effect is off (bypass mode), this led just indicates that the extreme mode will be active next time you turn the effect on.

Shred Pro The English created classic timbres that made the history of Rock'n Roll in the 60's and 70's. GNI put this sound in its SP1 Shred Pro. Sample settings: (Created by some of the professional Brazilian guitarrists who worked with GNI on the development of each pedal). Drive Bass Mid Treble Drive Bass Mid Treble Lots of controls and a versatile independent booster make SP1 a very complete vintage solution. power adaptor 1 2 3 BOOST MOD LEVEL 1 2 3 BOOST MOD LEVEL Controls: Drive Bass Mid Treble Drive: This adjusts the amount of distortion ( drive ) of the pedal. 1 2 3 Bass, Mid and Treble: These knobs adjust, respectively, low, medium and high frequencies.

MOD Switch: This pedal reproduces three different classic timbres of the 60's and 70's. Positions are: 1. results in a more present sound. 2. same sound, with a little less bright. 3. other classic timbre, with attenuated mid frequencies. battery housing

and vintage distortion Sample settings: FZD Multi Fuzz and Vintage Distortion is a very vintage unit. And it s even more than the name says: FZD brings an octaver effect embedded with the third mode of fuzz. Everything (distortion, fuzz and octaver) can be used together to achieve very creative results. Controls are simple, but there are many ways to combine all three effects. Next page shows two interesting examples, and more information. power adaptor Explaining controls and how to combine effects: } Distortion VINTAGE ORTION: It's a very simple and yet powerful distortion pedal. It combines high gain with soft tones. Turn distortion on and off pressing the right footswitch. To adjust it, use the three upper knobs, which are: Tone (to set the amount of high tones in your sound); Level; and Distortion. Use the distortion knob at small settings combined with high level to make it act like a booster pedal (example on the right), or set it to high values for aggressive gains and long sustains. output fuzz on FUZZ Fuzz & Distortion GNI battery housing dist. on } Fuzz input MULTI FUZZ: Turn fuzz on and off pressing the left footswitch. Controls are in the lower part. Level is simply the output. The other 2 controls are: Power: Effect s intensity. Note it begins as gain. In this range, fuzz acts as a booster or overdrive-like effect. At more or less 60% it starts to act as real fuzz. Use power at maximum setting to achieve full fuzz. Mod: Sliding switch which allows you to choose 3 different modes. First mode is a little softer. Second mode is more aggressive. Third mode is same as the first, combined with octaver effect. OCTAVER: It s a very vintage effect enabled when fuzz is in mode 3". It works better with low tones (try using your guitar s neck pickup). To use the octaver without the fuzz, set Power to a very low value, Mod to 3 and adjust Level. Example on the left shows how to combine Vintage Distortion and Octaver with almost no fuzz.

Troubleshooting All pedals are tested before leaving GNI s facility. If you are finding difficulties, please pay attention to the following details. Most small problems are easy to solve with a simple checklist: Insert both input and output s, or the pedal won turn on. Check if you used the correct sides for input and for output. If using DC adaptor, be sure it respects our specs. Reversed polarity, wrong tension, etc. may damage the circuitry and compromise warranty. If using batteries, be sure they are not discharged Check volume levels, wrong connections and broken cables. Keep your unit away from other electrical devices. TVs and other home appliances can cause interference and noise. Don t play very close to the amplifier, or directly facing it, in order to avoid feedback noise. If you ve carefully checked your setup and problems persist, please contact our technical representative at your country for further support and warranty. If you can t find our representative s information, please go to our website (www.gnimusic.com) and contact us directly. Specifications Power supply: 9V battery, or adaptor according to our specs.
