Introduction More than a remarkable achievement, HardWire™ represents a collection of significant improvements in effects pedals for guitar. HardWire pedals provide a suite of well-known effects, each with superior tone and control. But these pedals go above and beyond their peers to provide such distinguishing features as true bypass, high voltage operation, and true stereo processing making them essential additions to the signal chain of players who know about sound quality and demand the utmost in performance. Included Items: • HardWire CR-7 Stereo Chorus • HardWire StompLock™ • Foot Switch Glow Sticker • Hook-and-loop Pedalboard Pad • Warranty card 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 11 12 8 9 10 1 What Does This Do? Level Knob - Controls the chorus level. Turn this knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the chorus level. DC Adapter Jack - Connect (an optional) Harman PS200R power supply to this jack. Use the proper supply for your area’s mains line voltage. Speed Knob - Controls the modulation speed of the chorus effect. Turn the knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the speed. Depth Knob - Controls the intensity of the chorus effect. Turn the knob clockwise for a deep, rich chorus sound and counterclockwise for a subtle chorusing of the signal. Type Knob - The Type knob selects one of the seven chorus types: STUDIO – Studio quality chorus with a wide stereo image. MULTI – True 8-voice chorus; the lushest chorusing you can get in a pedal. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. MODERN – dual voice chorusing that’s both very rich and smooth. BOUTIQUE – a rich chorus with the quirkiness of analog circuits. ANALOG – distinctively organic bucket-brigade chorus. JAZZ – single voice chorusing with a dry output – jazzers rejoice! VINTAGE – warm and versatile from subtle to euphoric. 6. Input 1 (Mono) - Connect your instrument, additional pedal, or an amp effects send to this jack. Signals are heard at both outputs when only the Input (Mono) jack is used.This jack enables battery power to the pedal when connected.To prolong battery life, disconnect the cable from the Input (Mono) jack when not in use. If the optional Harman PS 00R power supply is used, cables can remain connected. 7. Input 2 - Connect a second input to this jack for stereo operation. Inputs and are processed separately through the stereo chorus effect and then fed to Outputs and keeping true stereo separation between channels. 8.
