It features three distinct modes: Overdrive, Distortion, and Fuzz, allowing musicians to bridge any gap in their gain requirements. With its powerful EQ capabilities, input contouring, and compact pico-sized footprint, the Triboro Bridge can serve as a foundational element for your tone or offer a fresh alternative to your existing drive pedals.

Ključne karakteristike:

• Wide range of saturation with Overdrive, Distortion, and Fuzz modes.
• Treble control boosts or cuts high end in Overdrive and Distortion modes.
• Bass control boosts or cuts low end in Overdrive and Distortion modes.
• Fuzz mode features a dedicated Gate control and a Low Pass Filter.
• Includes a power adapter for immediate use.

Follow these steps to connect your Pico Triboro Bridge pedal to your audio setup:

1. Priključak za napajanje: Connect the included 9V DC power adapter to the power jack on the top of the pedal. Ensure the power supply meets the pedal's specifications (9V DC, center-negative).
2. Ulazni priključak: Connect your instrument (guitar, bass, etc.) to the INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. Izlazna veza: Povežite OUTPUT priključak na lijevoj strani pedale na vaš amppojačavač ili sljedeću pedalu u vašem signalnom lancu koristeći standardni instrumentalni kabel od 1/4 inča.
4. Uključeno: Once all connections are secure, plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. The pedal's LED will illuminate when active.

3. Kontrole i rad

The Pico Triboro Bridge features intuitive controls for shaping your desired drive tone. Understanding each knob and button is key to unlocking its full potential.

Kontrolna dugmad:

• VOL (volumen): Controls the overall output level of the pedal. Adjust this to balance the effect's volume with your bypassed signal or other effects.
• DOBITAK: Controls the intensity of the drive, distortion, or fuzz effect. Higher settings result in more saturation and sustain.
• BASS / GATE:
  • In Overdrive and Distortion modes, this knob functions as a BASS control, allowing you to boost or cut low frequencies.
  • In Fuzz mode, this knob functions as a GATE control, adjusting the noise gate threshold to eliminate unwanted noise and feedback.
• TREBLE / TONE:
  • In Overdrive and Distortion modes, this knob functions as a TREBLE control, allowing you to boost or cut high frequencies.
  • In Fuzz mode, this knob functions as a TONE control, specifically a Low Pass Filter, for extreme tonal variations and shaping the fuzz character.

Dugme TIP:

The small button labeled "TYPE" at the top of the pedal is used to select between the three primary drive modes and to engage the Input Contour Mode.

• Odabir načina rada: Pressing the TYPE button cycles through the Overdrive (green LED), Distortion (orange LED), and Fuzz (red LED) modes.
• Input Contour Mode: Press and hold the TYPE button to enable or disable the Input Contouring EQ. When active, this mode applies a specific EQ to the input signal for a tighter, more modern character across all drive modes.

4. Drive Modes Explained

The Pico Triboro Bridge offers three distinct drive modes, each with its unique sonic characteristics:

• Overdrive Mode (Green LED): This mode provides a gain spectrum ranging from low to mid-level saturation with an open voicing. It is ideal for use as a subtle "always-on" drive, adding warmth and grit, or as a solo boost to push your amplifier.
• Distortion Mode (Orange LED): Engaging this mode provides additional gain-staging, delivering tones from crunchy rhythms to fully saturated leads. It offers a more aggressive and compressed sound compared to the Overdrive mode.
• Fuzz Mode (Red LED): This mode transforms the pedal into a high-gain fuzz effect with over-the-top saturation. The BASS knob becomes a GATE control, and the TREBLE knob becomes a Low Pass Filter, allowing for unique and extreme tonal variations specific to fuzz.

6. Održavanje

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pico Triboro Bridge pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• čišćenje: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Skladištenje: Kada se ne koristi, pedalu čuvajte na hladnom i suhom mjestu, dalje od direktne sunčeve svjetlosti, ekstremnih temperatura i visoke vlažnosti.
• Veze: Povremeno provjeravajte sve kablovske spojeve na istrošenost i oštećenja. Osigurajte da su utičnice bez prašine i ostataka.
• Napajanje: Always use the recommended 9V DC center-negative power adapter. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.

7. Otkrivanje problema

If you encounter issues with your Pico Triboro Bridge pedal, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nema zvuka:
  • Check all cable connections (instrument to input, output to amp).
  • Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and functioning.
  • Provjerite da li vaš instrument i ampLifier radi ispravno.
  • Check the pedal's bypass status; if it's true bypass, sound should pass even if the pedal is off.
• Slab ili izobličen zvuk (neočekivano):
  • Check the GAIN and VOL knob settings.
  • Ensure the correct drive mode (Overdrive, Distortion, Fuzz) is selected for your desired sound.
  • If in Fuzz mode, adjust the GATE and TONE (Low Pass Filter) knobs, as extreme settings can significantly alter the sound.
  • Test with different cables and power supplies to rule out faulty accessories.
• Prekomjerna buka/brujanje:
  • Ensure you are using a regulated, isolated power supply.
  • If in Fuzz mode, adjust the GATE knob to reduce unwanted noise.
  • Provjerite ima li uzemljenih petlji u vašoj instalaciji.
  • Move the pedal away from power transformers or other sources of electromagnetic interference.
