ART CoolSwitchPro Isolated A/B-Y Switch Instrument Pedal

Introduction

The ART CoolSwitchPro is a passive A/B-Y switch designed for instrument signals, such as guitar, bass, or keyboard. It allows you to route your instrument's signal to one of two amplifiers (A or B) or to both simultaneously (Y). Key features include transformer isolation, phase inversion, and ground lift switches to help eliminate hum and phase issues when using multiple ampаман калгандар.

The CoolSwitchPro features two footswitches for selecting outputs, along with several utility switches to optimize signal routing and minimize interference. It is housed in a durable black enclosure.

Жайгашуу

Follow these steps to connect your ART CoolSwitchPro:

1. Киргизүү байланышы: Connect your instrument (guitar, bass, keyboard, etc.) to the INPUT jack on the CoolSwitchPro using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
2. Output A Connection: туташтыруу ЧЫГАРЫЛГАН А jack to the input of your first ampкөтөргүч же amp channel using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. Output B Connection: туташтыруу ЧЫГАРЫЛГАН Б. jack to the input of your second ampкөтөргүч же amp channel using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
4. Thru Jack (Optional): The АРКЫЛУУ jack provides an always-on, direct output of your instrument's signal. This can be used to connect a tuner, another effects pedal, or a direct box without affecting the A/B-Y switching functionality.
5. Күч: The CoolSwitchPro is a passive device and does not require external power for its core switching functions.

Иштөө нускамалары

The CoolSwitchPro offers versatile signal routing and conditioning options:

• A/B Footswitch: This footswitch toggles the input signal between ЧЫГАРЫЛГАН А жана ЧЫГАРЫЛГАН Б..
• Y Footswitch: This footswitch engages the "Y" function, sending the input signal to BOTH OUTPUT A and OUTPUT B simultaneously. Pressing the Y footswitch again disengages this function, returning to the A/B selection.
• Transformer Isolate Switch: Located on the side of the unit, this switch allows you to select between ТҮЗ or ОЗУ АЛУУ for Output B.
  • ТҮЗ: Output B is connected directly.
  • ISOLATE: Output B is transformer-isolated. This helps prevent ground loops and associated hum when connecting to a second ampөмүрлүү.
• Phase Invert Switch (-180): Also on the side, this switch inverts the phase of ЧЫГАРЫЛГАН Б. by 180 degrees. When using two amplifiers, phase issues can cause a thin sound or cancellation. Flipping this switch can correct such problems, ensuring both amplifiers are in phase for a fuller sound.
• Жер көтөргүчтү которгуч: This switch, located next to the phase invert, lifts the ground connection for ЧЫГАРЫЛГАН Б.. This is another tool to combat hum and noise caused by ground loops between amplifiers. Experiment with this switch in conjunction with the Transformer Isolate switch to achieve the cleanest signal.

The ART CoolSwitchPro is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.

• Тазалоо: Агрегаттын сыртын тазалоо үчүн жумшак, кургак чүпүрөктү колдонуңуз. Абразивдүү тазалагычтардан же эриткичтерден качыңыз.
• Сактагыч: Педальды кургак чөйрөдө, өтө жогорку температурадан жана нымдуулуктан алыс сактаңыз.
• Кабелдик байланыштар: Periodically check all cable connections for tightness and ensure cables are in good condition to prevent signal loss or noise.

Проблемаларды чечүү

• Сигнал жок:
  • Ensure all instrument cables are securely connected to the correct input and output jacks.
  • Verify that your instrument and ampкөтөргүчтөр күйгүзүлгөн жана туура иштеп жатат.
  • Test with different cables to rule out faulty connections.
• Күңүрт же ызылдаган ызы-чуу:
  • Кызыккан Transformer Isolate switch for Output B. This is often effective in breaking ground loops.
  • жандырыңыз Ground Lift switch for Output B.
  • Ensure all equipment is plugged into properly grounded outlets.
  • Try different power outlets for your amplifiers if possible.
• Thin or Weak Sound (when using both ampс):
  • This often indicates a phase issue between your two amplifiers. Engage the Phase Invert (-180) switch for Output B to correct the phase relationship.
• Volume Drop:
  • While the CoolSwitchPro is designed to be transparent, ensure all switches are in their desired positions. If a volume drop is perceived, especially when using isolation, ensure your amplifier inputs are optimized for the signal level.
