Ezaugarri nagusiak:
- Diseinu hibridoa: Analog VCA with digital side-chain for versatile compression.
- Three Compression Modes: BUS (SSL Bus compressor emulation), FET (1176 emulation), and SYM (Super Symmetry emulation).
- Nahasketaren kontrola: Mixes clean and compressed signals for transparent results.
- Denbora kontrola: Adjusts attack and release settings for dynamic response.
- Compression Control: Sets the amount of compression applied.
- Ratio Control: Adjustable compression ratio from 2:1 to 20:1 via touch sensor.
- Irabaziaren murrizketa neurgailua: 10-segment LED meter for visual feedback.
- USB interfazea: For firmware updates and Darkglass Suite software integration.
- Diseinu trinkoa: Lightweight and pedalboard-friendly.
Konfigurazioa
Potentzia-eskakizunak:
The Hyper Luminal pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (center negative). Ensure the power supply provides sufficient current for stable operation. The pedal does not operate on internal batteries.
Konexioak:
- Connect your instrument (bass guitar) to the SARRERA pedalaren eskuinaldean dagoen jack-a.
- Konektatu IRTEERA pedalaren ezkerreko aldean dagoen jack-a zuregana amplifizer edo seinale-kateko hurrengo pedala.
- Connect a 9V DC power supply to the 9VDC sarrera.
- (Optional) Connect a micro-USB cable from the pedal's USB port to your computer for firmware updates and Darkglass Suite software integration.

Pedalaren funtzionamendua
Kontrolak:
- nahasten: Controls the mix between the clean (uncompressed) signal and the compressed signal. Turn clockwise for more compressed signal, counter-clockwise for more clean signal.
- Ordua: Adjusts the attack and release characteristics of the compressor. This control dynamically adapts based on the selected compression mode.
- Irteera: Sets the overall output volume of the pedal.
- Konpresioa: Determines the amount of gain reduction applied. Turn clockwise for more compression.
- Ratio (Touch Sensor): Tap this sensor to cycle through different compression ratios. The available ratios depend on the selected compression mode.
- Mode (Touch Sensor): Tap this sensor to select one of the three compression modes: BUS, FET, or SYM.
Compression Modes:
- AUTOBUSA: Modeled after the classic SSL Bus compressor, known for its transparent and glue-like compression.
- FET: Inspired by the iconic 1176 compressor, offering fast attack and release times with a distinct character. This mode also supports the "all-button" or "British" mode by tapping the Ratio sensor four times until all four LEDs are lit.
- SYM: Based on Darkglass's own Super Symmetry compressor, providing a unique and modern compression feel.
Irabaziaren murrizketa neurgailua:
The 10-segment LED meter visually indicates the amount of gain reduction occurring. More LEDs lit signifies greater compression.
Darkglass Suite Software:
Connect the pedal to your computer via the micro-USB port to access the Darkglass Suite software. This software allows for firmware updates and advanced configuration of the pedal's parameters, including custom compression settings and future model additions.
Mantentzea
- Mantendu pedala garbi zapi leun eta lehor batekin garbituz. Saihestu garbitzaile edo disolbatzaile urratzaileak.
- Gorde pedala leku lehor batean, muturreko tenperaturetatik eta hezetasunetik urrun.
- Ensure all cable connections are secure to prevent signal loss or damage.
- Regularly check for firmware updates via the Darkglass Suite software to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
Arazoak konpontzea
| Arazoa | Kausa posiblea | Irtenbidea |
|---|---|---|
| No sound from pedal. | Incorrect power supply; incorrect cable connections; faulty cables. | Verify 9V DC center-negative power supply is connected and functioning. Check input/output cable connections. Test with different cables. |
| Pedal not compressing signal. | Compression knob set too low; incorrect mode/ratio selected; low input signal. | Handitu Konpresioa knob setting. Experiment with different Modua eta Ratioa settings. Ensure adequate input signal from your instrument. |
| Nahi gabeko zarata edo txistu-hotsa. | High gain settings; ground loop; faulty power supply. | Murriztu Irteera or Konpresioa settings. Use a high-quality, isolated power supply. Check for ground loop issues in your setup. |
| USB konexio arazoak. | Incorrect USB cable; driver issues; Darkglass Suite software not running. | Ensure you are using a standard micro-USB data cable. Install necessary drivers. Launch Darkglass Suite software before connecting. |
