3. Инструкция по эксплуатации

The Vexpress pedal offers intuitive control over your instrument's volume or an effect's expression parameter.

Регулятор громкости:

• With your instrument connected to the INPUT and your amplifier/next pedal connected to the OUTPUT, simply rock the pedal forward and backward.
• Pushing the pedal forward increases the volume, while rocking it back decreases the volume.
• For optimal and gradual volume swells, ensure you are using a TRS cable for connection.

Контроль экспрессии:

• Connect the Vexpress OUTPUT to the expression input of your compatible effect pedal (e.g., a delay, reverb, or modulation pedal) using a TRS cable.
• The Vexpress will automatically detect its role as an expression pedal.
• Rocking the pedal forward and backward will control the assigned parameter on your effect pedal, such as delay time, modulation depth, or filter cutoff.

4. Техническое обслуживание

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SONICAKE Vexpress pedal, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Уборка: Для протирки внешней поверхности педали используйте мягкую сухую ткань. Избегайте использования абразивных чистящих средств или растворителей, так как они могут повредить покрытие.
• Хранилище: Store the pedal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If not in use for extended periods, disconnect all cables.
• Уход за кабелем: Always handle cables by the plug, not the wire, to prevent internal damage. Ensure cables are not kinked or excessively bent during storage or use.
• Инспекция: Периодически проверяйте все соединения и подвижные части педали на наличие признаков износа или повреждений.

5. Поиск Неисправностей

If you encounter any issues with your Vexpress pedal, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Нет звука/прерывистый звук:
  • Проверьте все кабельные соединения, чтобы убедиться, что они надежно подключены.
  • Test with different cables to rule out faulty wiring.
  • Убедитесь, что ваш прибор и ampУсилители работают исправно.
• Volume/Expression Not Gradual:
  • When using for volume control, ensure you are using a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) cable for optimal gradual response. A TS (Tip-Sleeve) cable might result in a less smooth sweep.
  • For expression control, verify that the connected effect pedal is compatible with passive expression pedals and that a TRS cable is used.
• Нежелательный шум:
  • As a passive pedal, the Vexpress itself should not introduce noise. Check other components in your signal chain (cables, power supplies for other pedals, amplifier) for potential noise sources.
