Owner’s Manual
Quick start
This manual is a comprehensive guide to the V oluum. To start using it as quickly as possible, follow
this short guide. Please refer to the rest of the manual for detailed operating instructions.
 Connect your guitar/bass to the IN jack of the Voluum.
 Connect your amplifier to the OUT jack of the V oluum.
 Set the LOCK switch to the locked position (this lets you select presets without worrying about
editing them by mistake).
 Connect a suitable power supply: 9V DC , USB or batteries (see “Powering the Voluum” on
page 10).
 Select the first factory preset by pressing the  button until F00 is shown on the numeric display.
 Tap the footswitch to enable the effect. The footswitch LED will light up.
 Rock the footpedal back and forward while you are playing to obtain a classic volume effect. As
you rock the footpedal from the “heel-down” position to the “toe-down” position the output volume
is increased.
Next, start exploring other presets using the  and  buttons. There are 30 factory presets labelled
F00–F29, then 100 user presets labelled P00–P99. If you press and hold  or  you can increment
or decrement in steps of 10 so you can quickly select the preset you want.
To get started, we suggest you try the first 10 factory presets:
Preset Description
F00 Classic volume pedal.
F01 Volume boost: use the pedal to add up to 12dB of gain to your signal.
F02 Gentle compressor.
F03 Clean sustain compressor.
F04 Pedal-controlled compressor: more compression as pedal is moved toe-down.
F05 Classic tremolo: basic tremolo, use the pedal to change the speed.
F06 Envelope tremolo: speed and character of tremolo depends on signal level.
F07 Pulse tremolo: echo-like sounds as the pulse decays with the signal level.
F08 Kill-switch tremolo: use the pedal to emulate using a kill-switch.
F09 ADSR synth. Combination of all effects to give a synth-like sound.
