H9 User Guide Bypass

Note: With the H9’s power turned off, the relays automatically bypass the unit. This means

that if power should accidentally go down while you’re playing, your guitar signal will not

disappear. Of course, if power is down, you may have bigger problems.

Killdry – Send/Return Loop

If you’ve connected the H9 using an effect send/return loop (either your amp’s or a mixer’s),

the H9’s Killdry feature can be enabled.

When Killdry is enabled, the H9 does not send any dry signal to the outputs; only the Effect.

Note that when Killdry is enabled, Bypassing will mute the Effect rather than Bypass it when

DSP Bypass is selected.

Killdry’s factory default is disabled. It can be enabled in the [BYPASS] menu of the System

Mode. Here’s how:

1) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a

few seconds to enter System Mode.

2) Turn the Knob until [BYPASS] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button.

4) Turn the Knob until [KILDRY] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button.

6) Turn the Knob to select either [YES] or [NO].

7) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a

few seconds to exit System Mode.

Note that Killdry operates slightly differently in Pre/Post mode.

Setting Killdry on a preset-by-preset basis

Killdry can also be set on a preset-by-preset basis. The choices are:

i. Global: this is the default setting, where Killdry is controlled by the System Mode

setting above.

ii. Off: Killdry is always off, regardless of the System Mode setting.

iii. On: Killdry is always on.

To check or adjust these settings:

Press and hold the Left Footswitch. The display will show OUTLVL, or the last

selected press and hold setting.

Press the encoder until the display shows KILDRY. After a second, it will show the

current setting.

Turn the encoder to set it to GLOBAL, OFF or ON as desired.

Release the Footswitch - the Preset will return to its previous Active or Bypassed

state.

Remember to save the preset, or the change will be lost.
