DRY VOLUME KNOB
Controls the volume of the untreated instrument at the ORGAN OUTPUT jack.
ORGAN VOLUME KNOB
Controls the overall volume of the ORGAN preset.
MOD KNOB
MOD controls the speed of modulation. Modulation can be completely
turned off when MOD is set fully counterclockwise. The type of
modulation is contingent on the preset selected. The different types of
modulation available are vibrato, tremolo and chorus. See the preset
descriptions for modulation type.
CLICK KNOB
CLICK controls percussive click level. It was designed to simulate the
harmonic percussion effect on classic B3 and C3 organs. The click is
added to the very first note or chord played. The click will retrigger
only when current notes have been released and their amplitude falls
below a threshold. For most presets, CLICK controls parameters unique to
the preset. See the preset descriptions for details.
BYPASS FOOTSWITCH
Press the BYPASS Footswitch to toggle the C9 between buffered Bypass and
Effect mode. The status LED lights when in Effect mode.
DRY OUTPUT JACK
DRY outputs the signal present at the INPUT Jack through a buffer
circuit. The dry signal is outputted regardless if the C9 is in Effect
or Bypass mode. The DRY Volume knob does not change the volume at the
DRY Output jack.
ORGAN OUTPUT JACK
ORGAN outputs the mix set by the DRY and ORGAN controls.
