Turn clockwise for increasing the emphasis and characteristic effect of the flanger sound. · The LED INDICATOR (7) lights when the effect is on. This also serves as the battery check, so when it dims, replace the battery. · The FOOTSWITCH (8) -- switches between the effect and the unaltered signal with each press. When the effect is on, the LED (7) will light. Introduction Congratulations, you have purchased one the finest effects petals available. Thanks for choosing NADY. · Updated classic flanger design produces thickest flanging available · Versatile Manual, Rate, Depth, and Resonance controls allow wide selection of swirling sounds with incredible depth and intensity Using the FL-10 with Other Effects Place the following effects BEFORE the FL-10: Wah-Wah, Envelope Follower, Compression, Distortion Place the following effects AFTER the FL-10: Reverb, Delay, EQ Important Notes Please observe these precautions: · Inserting the plug of the instrument cable into the input (IN) jack will switch on the pedal's power supply. Remove the plug from the input (IN) jack when not using the unit to prolong the battery life. · The sound quality will degrade quickly when the LED indicator dims. Replace the battery immediately. Only alkaline batteries are recommended for longest life and reliability. · When not using the unit for a long time, remove the battery to avoid damage from battery leakage. · Use only the optional Nady PAD-1 adapter for externally powering your pedal. If you're not going to use it for an extended period of time, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC outlet. Also, when using the adapter, do not share the same power circuit with devices that generate line noise, such as electric motors or lighting dimmers, etc. Please note it is not unusual for the adapter to get very warm in use -- this is normal. If there is a battery in the unit while using the PAD-1 AC adapter, normal operation will not be interrupted if the power from the AC adapter is cut off for any reason. · Don't remove the screws on the bottom or attempt to open the pedal. They are no user serviceable parts inside and any tampering with the circuitry will avoid the warranty. · Transport the unit in the box provided (including padding). Rough handling can cause malfunctions and physical damage not covered by warranty. · Grasp the connecter itself whenever connecting/disconnecting all cables -- never only pull on the cable. Note: For best sound, all effects placed before the FL-10 should be set at unity gain with the signal from the instrument.

Untitled-2 6-7 1/31/05, 10:31 AM · Do not use the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment with large power transformers) as this may induce hum. To alleviate, simply reorient or move the unit. · Wireless communication devices, such as cell phones, may produce noise in your unit during their use if very close. Relocate or switch off such devices if this occurs. · Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn down the volume or turned off the power to all units. Also batteries should always be installed or replaced before making any connections. This will prevent damage to speakers and other devices due to possible loud transient noises Connections and Controls (3) (4) (7) (5) (6) Changing the Battery When the effect ON-OFF LED indicator goes dim or no longer lights while the effect is on, it means that the battery is nearly exhausted or dead and must be replaced. Replace the battery following the steps below. This device consumes considerable power, so use of the optional PAD-1 AC adapter is recommended. For maximum battery life and reliability, use only 9V alkaline batteries. 1. Use your thumb to pry open the battery compartment cover latch on the bottom of the unit and remove the cover with the attached battery. 2. Replace with a fresh alkaline battery, connecting it to the snap cord (carefully observing the battery's polarity, + vs. -), reinsert in the holder, and snap the cover into place (avoid getting the snap cord pinched between the cover and bottom plate). (2) (1) (8) 1. The INPUT (1) jack accepts input signals from guitars or other musical instruments or other effects units. 2. The OUTPUT (2) jack connects the unit to an amplifier or another effects unit. Control: · The MANUAL (3) knob adjusts the center frequency to which the effect is applied. Turn clockwise for raising the frequency range affected. · The RATE (4) knob adjusts the rate of the flanging. Turn clockwise for speeding up the flanging effect. · The DEPTH (5) knob adjusts the sweep depth. Turn clockwise for deepening the effect.
