Welcome! Thank you for entering the realm of Pigtronix. The Keymaster you now possess is a universal analog signal converter that will allow you to interface any audio source with instrument level “guitar” pedals and return your signal back to the proper impedance on its way back out of this crafty little box. The ability to run the loops in series or blend them in parallel will lead to new sonic possibilities using the gear you already own.
Anatomy of the Keymaster: The Interface: Jacks: 1. DC POWER 18-VOLTS – We suggest you use only the 18-Volt, 2.1mm negative tip power supply that came with your Keymaster. Using the wrong power supply is likely to result in a damaged pedal. 2. INPUT (BAL / UN-BAL) – Plug in your instrument here. TS or TRS ¼” 3. XLR INPUT – Plug mic / line level signals here. Note: XLR INPUT is bypassed when 1/4” input is in use. 4. OUTPUT (BAL / UN-BAL) – Plug in your amp, mixer, or DI box here. TS or TRS ¼” 5.
8. SEND B – Send to input of pedal chain for LOOP B 9. RETURN B – Return from pedal chain for LOOP B 10. EXP – This allows for expression pedal crossfade between the two loops in parallel mode. Footswitches: 11. LOOP A – Turns on LOOP A 12. LOOP B – Turns on LOOP B Knobs: 13. IN BOOST – Up to 10db of input gain going into the loops. 14. OUT BOOST – Up to 10db of output gain going out of the loops. 15.

NEVER OPEN THE CASE – Never try to separate the two pieces of the chassis from one another and/or modify the equipment. Opening this device will effectively void the warranty.
