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.
Our goal was never to emulate or mimic other gear. This would imply that there
is no room for improvement — or at least, no room for unique greatness. Each
technological medium has strengths and weaknesses, and to use one medium to
emulate another denies its inherent power and versatility.
Sound is subjective — particularly when created as artistic expression. To gauge
what sounds “good,” we can trust only our own judgments. If our own sense of
what sounds good is confined to what we have heard, then we can only emulate.
However, to chase the sound in our own heads, we cannot be limited by what
currently exists.
In other words, we learn by studying the masters; but we create through invention.
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 — eortlessly producing harmonic structures that range from subtle
to dense and complex. One of its most salient features is its feel, which is almost
hyper-realistic when compared to an amplifier.
Among Neuron’s many features are the following:
• Integrated compressor constrains the drive level for smooth, consistent tone.
• Adjustable studio-quality noise gate keeps your signal quiet.
• Tilt EQ adapts your tone to various setups without changing presets.
• Defeatable speaker simulator for running direct.
• Three-band EQ with tightness and presence enables a plethora of tonal
options.
• Up to 6 presets can be stored for quick recall via the footswitch. Up to 24
presets can be recalled using a MIDI controller.
• All controls are accessible using a MIDI controller.
CONNECTIONS
Note — Tilt EQ settings are a suggested starting point. Adjust to taste.
Direct with Internal Speaker Simulator
External Speaker / Simulator
MIDI
Adapter cables to convert from 2.5mm TRS to 5-pin DIN are included.
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
eects loop return of a practice amp.

CONTROLS
Setup Controls
These controls are accessed by holding down the Engage footswitch while turning
the knob.
Speaker Simulator
This control turns the internal speaker simulator on/o.

speaker, or headphone amp
Note — the Speaker Simulator is a global setting: it is independent of the preset selection.
The Speaker Simulator filter is voiced to sound similar to Iconoclast with default
settings and tone knobs at 12 o’clock. It is not adjustable.
Tilt EQ
The global Tilt EQ allows one-knob compensation for a variety of output
connections. Start with the EQ controls at 12 o’clock or their default setting. Then
use the Tilt EQ to dial in a neutral-sounding tone. Finally, create your presets.
When you change your output connection (for example, from an amp to direct),
the Tilt EQ may be used to adapt your tone to your new setup without needing to
change your presets.
Note — the Tilt EQ is a global setting: it is independent of the preset selection.
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 aects 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. As such, the compressor adds additional
clean gain to your signal. A moderate amount of compression can control the
dynamics of your clean tones, while a more modest setting goes a long way in
controlling overdrive and sustain.
Level
The Level control adjusts the output level of the signal.
EQ — Low, Mid, High
The three-band EQ allows you to adjust the low frequencies (bass), middle
frequencies, and high frequencies (treble) of your signal. Unlike the tone stacks
in many amps and pedals, this EQ has been designed so that the controls do not
interact.
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
o. Set the Noise Gate as follows:
1. Press and hold the Engage switch.
2. Start with the Gate knob fully counter-clockwise.
3. Slowly turn the knob clockwise until the noise attenuates. Stop and release
the switch.
Tightness
The Tightness control adjusts a pre-gain high-pass filter. Increasing this control
will tighten the low end with high-gain settings. Increase the Low control to
compensate for any reduction of low frequencies.
Presence
The Presence control adjusts a post-gain low-pass filter.
FOOTSWITCHES
Preset
The Preset switch selects a stored preset. The LED illuminates when a preset is
selected. For more information, refer to the Using Presets section.
Engage
The Engage switch selects between engaged and bypassed. The LED illuminates
when the pedal is engaged.
USING PRESETS
Manual Mode: The Preset LED is o. All settings will be reflected by the knob
positions. All alternate controls will retain the values last set when in Manual
Mode.
Preset Mode: The Preset LED is on. All Primary and Alternate controls are
recalled from a stored preset. If a knob is changed, the value of this control will
snap to the current position of the knob. This change is not saved until the preset
is saved (see Saving Presets).
By default, only one preset is accessible via the footswitch. You may increase this
to as many as 6; pressing the footswitch cycles through presets sequentially. To
access multiple presets:
• Disconnect power
• Hold down the Engage switch and reconnect power
• Press the Preset switch a number of times equal to the number of presets you
want to access (between 1 and 6).
• Release the Engage switch
Up to 24 presets may be recalled via MIDI Program Change command. The LED
color of each preset may be changed using a MIDI Control Change command. The
following table details the mapping of presets and default LED colors:
