  • Page 3 PREFACE Neuron is the culmination of years of research and development. We studied the gain circuits of pedals and amps — both tube and solid state — to learn not only how they sound good, but why. We developed new and unique algorithms to test our findings, then refined these algorithms based on what we learned.
  • Page 4 INTRODUCTION Neuron achieves a seamless array of incredible amp tones in a compact pedal — from sparkling clean to heavy distortion and everything in between. A multistage, dynamic gain architecture yields unparalleled control over the desired amount of distortion — effortlessly producing harmonic structures that range from subtle to dense and complex.

  • Page 6 To Amplifier clean channel input Tip: The small speaker in a practice amp may sound more full-range; therefore, try enabling the Speaker Simulator when running into the clean channel input or effects loop return of a practice amp. MIDI Adapter cables to convert from 2.5mm TRS to 5-pin DIN are included.

  • Page 8: Primary Controls

    PRIMARY CONTROLS Gain The Gain control provides over 60 dB of gain, ranging from clean to heavy distortion. This control is level-compensated: increasing the gain increases distortion but only slightly affects the level. Comp The single-knob compressor ranges from none to heavy compression. Increasing this control simultaneously decreases the threshold and increases the ratio and level parameters of the compressor.
  • Page 9 ALTERNATE CONTROLS These controls are accessed by holding down the Engage footswitch while turning the knob. Gate The Gate control adjusts the noise reduction threshold. Fully counter-clockwise is off. Set the Noise Gate as follows: Press and hold the Engage switch. Start with the Gate knob fully counter-clockwise.
