06: How to select and control the effects

Preset Selection

Make sure effects are engaged by checking the

ON/OFF

light. Toggle the

ON/OFF

pedal to turn it on, if necessary.

Select any of the four presets by using the

SELECT

pedal to advance through

them. Note which of the

MOD SOURCE

lights are on at the top of the

EFFECT

knob. These select what will be sweeping the effect. If the

HOT HAND

light is not

on, moving the

HOT HAND

will not make any difference.

Editing

Use the

EFFECT

knob to select any of the

7

phasers or

7

flangers.

Hold down the

SELECT

pedal, and turn the

EFFECT

knob. It will now change

the

MOD SOURCE

selection instead of making an effect selection.

Use the

DEPTH

control to select the amount of modulation depth (sweep)

applied to the effect.

Use the

MOTION/SPEED

control to select how fast the modulation source var-

ies. It determines how much the Hot Hand responds to rapid motion; it sets
the

LFO

speed; and it controls how quickly the

ENVELOPE

tracks the levels of

the guitar signal.

Turn the

MOTION/SPEED

knob such that the

LED

indicator light moves across

the bottom-most part of the range. This will change the state of the

INVERT

switch. If

INVERT

is on, both the

HOT

HAND

and

ENVELOPE

direction of sweep

will be reversed.

When

LFO

is selected as the

MOD

SOURCE

, turning on

INVERT

will select

SEQ

as the modulation source instead of the

LFO

. Sequencer patterns will then be

used to sweep the effect.

Hold down the

SELECT

pedal, and adjust

FREQUENCY

range for the phasers,

and

DELAY

time for the flangers with the

DEPTH

knob.

Advanced editing

The Back Page parameters provide access to a number of miscellaneous
parameters, including control of the sequencer. Press

SAVE

while holding down

the

SELECT

pedal to edit these parameters. See page 26-30 for a detailed list.

Save Preset

If you wish to save the changes you have made to a preset location, hold down
the

SAVE

button. When the preset

LED

stops blinking, the data has been saved

to the current preset.

05 : Calibration (optional)

Calibration is recommended, but not required. See page

11

for additional

information.

Calibration is easy. Just turn the

EFFECT

knob to the

CALIBRATE

position and hold your strumming hand in its normal playing position over
the strings. Your hand should be held relatively still. Then, tap the

ON/OFF

pedal once. The

ON/OFF

LED

will blink for a few seconds. When the

LED

is off,

you are calibrated and ready to go. Turn the Effect Selector knob away from
the

CALIBRATE

position to select an effect.

04 : Attaching the Hot Hand Motion Sensor

Choose the ring size which fits most comfortably. This is ideally placed on the
middle or ring finger of your strumming hand (A). Put your guitar on and take
out the Hot Hand sensor. Insert the Hot Hand into the ring as shown. To pre-
vent the sensor cord from interfering with your playing, use the provided arm
band (B) to hold it up near your elbow as shown. Once everything is comfort-
able, attach the wire that comes from the Hot Hand into the

EXTENSION CABLE

.

Note: the extension cable is not required for operation, but it is almost cer-
tainly required for using the product in the standing position. When the Hot
Hand is connected, and the control box is powered-on, a blue

LED

will glow in

the sensor to indicate is it ready to be used (C).
