Use with Hot Hand | 19

Select either the X or Y axes by turning the knob to the right or the left,
respectively. Once an axis is selected, turn the knob toward either ex-
treme labeled

SLOW

to smooth out fast changes from the sensor signal.

Turning the knob towards

SLOW

provides the most amount of smoothing

causing the effect to react to only large, deliberate motions of the sensor.
Turning the knob all the way to

FAST

sets the smoothing at a minimum.

This means that fast changes in the sensor signal will be applied to the
effect and the motions created from normal picking will be enough to
move the filter.

Calibration
The Poly-Mod Pro has a calibration feature that is only used in Hot Hand
mode. However, calibration is not required before use. The calibration
feature allows you to set the midpoint of the filter sweep for any posi-
tion of your hand. Depending on your playing style, you may find it useful
to try some different calibration positions. The most common use of
calibration is setting your resting hand position on the guitar to be the
midpoint of the filter sweep. Calibration can also be useful if you are put-
ting the sensor on a headband or other alternate locations.

To perform a calibration:

1. Select a preset by pressing a footswitch.

2. Select Hot Hand mode with the

MOD SOURCE

button.

3. Press and hold the

MOD SOURCE

button to put the Poly-Mod

Pro

into

Calibrate Mode. The Hot Hand

LED

will begin to blink slowly.

4. Put the Hot Hand sensor into the desired calibration position.

5. Press the footswitch for the currently selected preset.

6. The Calibrate

LED

will blink until the calibration is complete.

Note: Calibration can be cancelled by pressing the

MOD SOURCE

button

again.

If you have trouble with calibration and need to get back to the default
setting, place the sensor on a flat, level surface with the blue

LED

facing

down and run the calibration procedure again.
