సెటప్
శక్తి అవసరాలు:
The Hyper Luminal pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (center negative). Ensure the power supply provides sufficient current for stable operation. The pedal does not operate on internal batteries.
కనెక్షన్లు:
- Connect your instrument (bass guitar) to the ఇన్పుట్ jack on the right side of the pedal.

నియంత్రణలు:
- మిశ్రమం: Controls the mix between the clean (uncompressed) signal and the compressed signal. Turn clockwise for more compressed signal, counter-clockwise for more clean signal.
- సమయం: Adjusts the attack and release characteristics of the compressor. This control dynamically adapts based on the selected compression mode.
- అవుట్పుట్: Sets the overall output volume of the pedal.
- కుదింపు: Determines the amount of gain reduction applied. Turn clockwise for more compression.
- Ratio (Touch Sensor): Tap this sensor to cycle through different compression ratios. The available ratios depend on the selected compression mode.
- Mode (Touch Sensor): Tap this sensor to select one of the three compression modes: BUS, FET, or SYM.
Compression Modes:
- బస్సు: Modeled after the classic SSL Bus compressor, known for its transparent and glue-like compression.
- FET: Inspired by the iconic 1176 compressor, offering fast attack and release times with a distinct character. This mode also supports the "all-button" or "British" mode by tapping the Ratio sensor four times until all four LEDs are lit.
- SYM: Based on Darkglass's own Super Symmetry compressor, providing a unique and modern compression feel.
లాభం తగ్గింపు మీటర్:
The 10-segment LED meter visually indicates the amount of gain reduction occurring. More LEDs lit signifies greater compression.
Darkglass Suite Software:
Connect the pedal to your computer via the micro-USB port to access the Darkglass Suite software. This software allows for firmware updates and advanced configuration of the pedal's parameters, including custom compression settings and future model additions.
నిర్వహణ
- Keep the pedal clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Store the pedal in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
- Ensure all cable connections are secure to prevent signal loss or damage.
- Regularly check for firmware updates via the Darkglass Suite software to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
