Black Box Pedal Board Quick Start Guide

Making the Connections

The Black Box has three pedal connections on the back panel. One is for an expression pedal and the two others are for

momentary pedals. The Black Box Pedal Board includes an expression pedal and two momentary switches. One long cable

snake breaks out in to three 1⁄4” connections. They are labeled Expression, P1 and P2. Plug these connectors in to the 1⁄4”

jacks labeled the same way.

An expression pedal has a range of travel from one extreme to another, passing many other values in between, like a

wah-wah pedal. In contrast, a momentary pedal is a simple two-position switch. It can be set to either Open or Closed (On

or Off) like a distortion pedal.

Assignable Expression Pedal Values

By pressing the UTILITY key on the Black Box and turning the rotary knob under EXP PEDAL on the LCD, you can assign any of

the parameters below to the expression pedal. These values are set “per preset.” This means on one preset, the expression

pedal may be assigned for Wah, while on another preset the expression pedal might be assigned to Delay Volume.

Amp Drive (AmpDrv)

The pedal acts as an attenuator right after the drive parameter, varying the signal level from off to the current drive setting.

FX Speed (FXSped)

If your current setting is tempo-based, the pedal will range from -2 to +2, limited to the extent of the allowed tempo-based

settings. If the current setting is number-based, the pedal ranges from halfway between 0 and the current setting to halfway

between the current setting and 99.

FX Frequency (FXFreq)

The pedal range is -30 to +30 of current panel setting.
