The Electro-Harmonix Neo Clone is an analog chorus pedal designed to deliver the classic Small Clone sound in a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. It utilizes a high-quality bucket brigade chip for its true analog design, providing a rich and lush sonic texture.

• Total analog design using a high-quality bucket brigade chip.
• Sultry sonic texture with depth control.
• Operates on a 9V battery (included) or optional 9V power adapter.

Configuración

Accionando o Pedal

The Neo Clone can be powered by a 9V battery or an optional 9V DC power adapter. A 9V battery is included with the pedal. To install or replace the battery, remove the four screws on the bottom plate of the pedal. Connect the battery to the battery clip inside the pedal and replace the bottom plate.

For external power, use a 9V DC power adapter with a center-negative plug. The power jack is located at the top of the pedal.

Conectando o Pedal

1. Conecta o teu instrumento (por exemplo, a guitarra) ao ENTRADA conector jack situado no lado dereito do pedal usando un cable de instrumento estándar de 1/4 de polgada.
2. Conecta o AMP (OUTPUT) jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier or the next effect pedal in your signal chain using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. If using an external power adapter, plug it into the 9V DC jack.

The Neo Clone is typically placed early in the signal chain, often before distortion or overdrive pedals, to achieve a classic chorus sound.

Operando o Pedal

The Neo Clone features simple controls for intuitive operation:

Controis

• Botón de VELOCIDADE: This knob controls the speed of the chorus effect. Turning it clockwise increases the modulation speed, while turning it counter-clockwise decreases it.
• DEPTH Switch: This toggle switch selects between two different depth settings for the chorus effect. The "up" position provides a deeper, more pronounced chorus, while the "down" position offers a more subtle effect.
• Pedal: Engages or bypasses the chorus effect. The red LED illuminates when the effect is active.

Uso básico

To activate the chorus effect, press the footswitch. The red LED will light up. To bypass the effect, press the footswitch again. Experiment with the RATE knob and DEPTH switch to find your desired chorus sound. Lower rate settings with higher depth can create lush, swirling textures, while higher rate settings can produce more vibrato-like or rotary speaker effects.

Mantemento

• Keep the pedal clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Evite expoñer o pedal a temperaturas extremas, humidade ou luz solar directa.
• When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage and damage.
• Ensure all cable connections are secure to prevent signal loss or intermittent operation.

Resolución de problemas

Sen son ou sinal débil

• Check all cable connections to ensure they are securely plugged into the correct input/output jacks.
• Verify the power supply. If using a battery, ensure it is fresh and correctly installed. If using an adapter, confirm it is the correct voltage (9V DC) and polarity (center-negative).
• Test the pedal with a different instrument cable or amplifier to rule out external equipment issues.

"Pop" Sound When Engaging Effect

Some true bypass pedals, including the Neo Clone, may produce a slight "pop" sound when engaged. This is often a characteristic of the true bypass switching mechanism and typically does not indicate a malfunction. If the pop is excessively loud, ensure proper grounding of your equipment and try engaging the pedal when not actively playing.
