Transparent-true-bypass…

True-bypass means that the effect is completely switched out of your signal chain when bypassed

to preserve the integrity of your guitar/bass signal. This is typically done by mechanical switches but

these cause clicks or pops when switching.

sonuus has designed a silent-switching true-bypass circuit so you get the benefits of true-bypass

without the associated switching noise. What’s more: if the power to the Voluum is interrupted, the

unit will automatically switch back to the bypassed state so you don’t lose your instrument’s signal.

…with the option of buffered-bypass

However, not everyone wants true-bypass. With the Vo luum you have control over whether you

want to use true-bypass, or buffered-bypass. Buffered-bypass keeps the V oluum in the signal path

at all times, but passes the input signal without modification when the effect is bypassed. This can

be useful when using long cables: the buffered output of the V oluum means these long cables won’t

affect your tone, even when the effect is bypassed.

Stage-ready

The V oluum is designed to be ideal for gigging on stage:

• Heavy-duty cast aluminium case that will stand up to years of heavy use.

• The pedal won’t decide to get scratchy just before a crucial gig!

• Variety of power sources: any polarity 9V for maximum convenience,

USB

and high-capacity AA

batteries.

• Foot-operated preset selection.

•

LOCK

switch to prevent accidental changes to settings or presets.

Presets

The Voluum comes ready-to-play with factory presets that include traditional volume effects and

pedal-controlled compressor effects. Without making any adjustments, the Voluum is ready to play,

straight out of the box.

The factory presets are just the starting place! By tweaking these presets you can explore different

sounds and create your own effects—there are 100 user presets where you can store your own set-

ups.
