Pigtronix Philosopher King - Manual (Page 4)

Anatomy of the Philosopher King:
The Interface:
Jacks:
1. IN – Plug in your instrument here.
2. TRIGGER – This is a side-chain input for the envelope detector within
the Philosopher King. The trigger feature allows you to connect an
external source to control the timing of the SWELL and/or FADE cycle.
3. OUTPUT – Effect output – Plug in your amp, mixer, DI box, etc. here.
4. DC POWER 18-VOLTS – Use only the 18-Volt, 300mA, negative tip
power supply that came with your Pigtronix Philosopher King. Using
the wrong power supply could result in a damaged pedal.
5. CV in – Insert CV control signal or a TRS expression pedal for remote
control of the amplitude modulation.
6. CV out – The internal control voltage that sets the amplitude at any
given moment is available from this jack. The range is approx. 2VDC

12VDC.
7. SWELL EXP – Insert a high impedance (250K - 500K) expression pedal
here to control the SWELL TIME.
8. FADE EXP - Insert a high impedance (250K - 500K) expression pedal
here to control the FADE TIME
