Electro-Harmonix BATTALION Manual de usuario

BATTALION

BASS PREAMP + DI

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Battalion. The all-

analog circuitry of the Battalion provides you with an amazing amount of

features in a sturdy and compact pedal. Basic functions include a four-band

equalizer, a compressor, and a noise gate. The Battalion also packs a full-

featured MOSFET distortion section, including a three-way toggle switch to

change where the distortion section is placed in the signal path, thereby

expanding the tonal versatility of the preamp.

In addition, the Battalion includes a balanced, XLR output for use as a DI, as

well as separate level and bypass controls for the XLR out. The ¼” output

jack is headphone ready and perfect for quiet practicing. So, are you ready

to head into the trenches? Road warriors and studio musicians alike will

appreciate the stunning quality and multiple features at their disposal.

- USING THE BATTALION -

Plug the 9VDC adapter into the jack on the top of the Battalion. The unit

must be powered to pass a signal. Connect an instrument cable from your

bass into the INPUT jack. Insert an instrument cable between the OUTPUT

jack and a suitable amplifier, or insert an XLR cable between the DI

OUTPUT jack and a suitable mixing console or recording interface. Click the

BYPASS footswitch to engage the Battalion. The green LED lights to indicate

that the unit is active, and the equalizer and gate will be in effect. Push in

the COMPRESSION button to engage the compressor. The blue LED will

illuminate to show that the compressor is active. Press the DISTORTION

footswitch to activate distortion. The red LED will light indicating the

distortion is active.

- CONTROLS -

BYPASS Footswitch & Green LED –The right LED illuminates when the

effect is engaged. The LED will not light if the Battalion is bypassed. Press

the footswitch to toggle between effect on and buffered bypass mode.

VOL Knob –Sets master output level of the pedal.

GATE Knob –Sets the threshold for the noise gate. Turn this up to cut

signal when no/little bass signal is coming through.

-10dB Pad Button –Press to cut the input signal by 10dB, good for active

basses or other basses with very strong output signals.

EQ CONTROLS:

BASS Knob –Boost or cut low end. No effect when the knob is at 50%.

Boosts/cuts frequencies below 200Hz.

LO MID Knob –Boost or cut low midrange frequencies. No effect when the

knob is at 50%. Boost/cut at 280Hz.

HI MID Knob –Boost or cut high midrange frequencies. No effect when

the knob is at 50%. Boost/cut at 750Hz.

TREBLE Knob –Boost or cut high end. No effect when the knob is at 50%.

Boosts/cuts frequencies above 2kHz.

COMPRESSOR CONTROLS:

COMPRESSOR Button & Blue LED –Use this switch to engage or bypass

the compressor circuit. The blue LED will illuminate when the compressor is

active. If active, the blue LED will stay lit even when the entire pedal is

bypassed, indicating compression will be active upon activating the pedal.

COMPRESSOR Knob –Determines the intensity of the compression. Turn

up to increase the compression ratio.

DISTORTION CONTROLS:

DRIVE (distortion) Footswitch & Red LED –Use this footswitch to

engage or bypass the distortion circuit. The Left LED will illuminate when the

distortion is active. If active, the LED will stay lit even when the entire pedal

is bypassed, indicating distortion will be active upon activating the pedal.

LEVEL Knob –Sets the output level of the distortion section.

BLEND Knob –Controls mix between dry and distorted signal. Add more

distortion by turning the knob up.

DRIVE Knob –Affects the intensity of the distortion

TONE Knob –Cuts the high end from the distortion signal as you turn the

knob down.

DISTORTION PRE/POST/DRY EQ Switch –Determines where the

distortion circuit falls in the pedal’s signal path. The Battalion has three

signal flow options when distortion is active:

PRE EQ –In this mode the distortion section comes right after the

compressor (if active) and before the EQ. The dry signal blended in with the

BLEND knob is the same signal that is fed into the beginning of the distortion

section. In this mode the EQ can heavily affect the tonal character of the

distorted signal.

POST EQ –In this mode the EQ comes right after compressor (if active) and

before the distortion. The dry signal blended in with the BLEND knob is the

same signal fed into the beginning of the distortion section, which is the

output of the EQ section. The EQ’s effect on the distorted signal’s tonal

character is less noticeable in this mode, but boosting certain frequency

areas can drive the distortion section, affecting the amount of distortion.

DRY EQ –In this mode, the distortion section comes right after the

compressor (if active), but only the dry signal that is blended in with the

BLEND knob is affected by the EQ. The distorted part of the signal is not

affected by the EQ at all. In this mode you can heavily EQ the dry signal

while leaving the distorted signal untouched, giving the option to simulate

dual-amp or dual-channel bass setups. Either use the BLEND knob to mix

between two distinct bass tones, or leave BLEND at max and use the

DISTORTION footswitch as a pseudo channel switcher.

DISTORTION MODES (SIGNAL FLOW):

The following signal flow charts illustrate the three distortion modes. These

charts assume that the compressor is active –if it is inactive that block is

simply bypassed (replaced by your dry bass signal). In all modes, the gate’s

detector comes before the compressor, right at the input to ensure the gate

opens responsively, while the gate itself comes after all other processing, to

mute any possible noise picked up through the signal chain. The main VOL

knob is a master volume, also coming at the end of the signal chain.

JACKS, XLR CONTROLS, POWER

INPUT Jack –Plug your instrument or the output of another effects pedal

into this ¼” jack. The input impedance is 2.2M.

DRY OUTPUT Jack –Use this ¼” jack to output a dry, unaffected version

of your bass signal.

OUTPUT Jack –Use this ¼” jack to output the signal, dry or affected based

on the bypass status. Plug this jack into an amp, another effects pedal, or

plug headphones into this jack. The output impedance is 220.

XLR Jack –Use this to output a balanced signal.

XLR VOL Knob –Use this to set the volume of the XLR output.

XLR Bypass Button –Push in to have the XLR output the signal based on

the bypass state of the pedal. Leave out to output the dry signal regardless

of the bypass state of the pedal.

Ground Lift Button –Push in to keep ground connected to pin 1 of the

XLR jack. Leave out to disconnect pin 1 from ground.

9V Power Jack –Plug the output of the factory-supplied EHX9.6DC 200mA

AC adapter into the 9V power jack located at the top of the Battalion. The

Battalion draws 100mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The

Battalion accepts Boss®and Ibanez®style AC Adapters capable of delivering

at least 200mA.
