5.2. Conexión dos pedais

1. Identifica o voltage (V) and current (mA) requirements for each of your pedals. This information is usually found on the pedal itself or in its manual.
2. Match the pedal's requirements to the available outputs on the GTR-PWR-12. The unit offers a variety of fixed and adjustable outputs:
   • 2 x 18V DC @ 120mA
   • 3 x 9/12V DC @ 120mA (adjustable via DIP switches)
   • 2 x 4-9V DC @ 120mA (continuously variable voltage)
   • 2 x 9V DC @ 300mA
   • 2 x 9V DC @ 500mA
   • 1 x USB-C @ 5V/2A (10W)
3. For outputs 3, 4, and 5, adjust the voltage between 9V and 12V using the DIP switches located on the front side of the unit. For outputs 6 and 7, use the continuously variable knobs to set the voltage entre 4V e 9V.
4. Connect each pedal to the appropriate output using the provided DC power cables. Ensure the polarity matches (center-negative is standard for most pedals; use the included polarity inverter cable if a pedal requires center-positive).
5. Connect your pedals to each other using patch cables to establish your signal chain.

5.3. Xestión de cables

To maintain a tidy and professional setup, route all power and patch cables neatly. The GTR-PWR-12 can be mounted to allow cables to be tucked underneath the pedalboard, preventing tangles and accidental disconnections.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento

6.1. Acendido/apagado

Once all connections are made, press the LED-lit power switch on the front of the GTR-PWR-12 to turn the unit on. The LED will illuminate, indicating that power is being supplied to your pedals. Press the switch again to turn the unit off.

6.2. Using the USB-C Output

The USB-C output (5V/2A) can be used to power compatible USB devices, such as a tablet, smartphone, or the included gooseneck LED light for illuminating your pedalboard in dark environments.

6.3. Using the Courtesy AC Outlet

A courtesy AC outlet is provided on the rear panel of the GTR-PWR-12. This allows you to plug in an additional wall-wart device directly into the power supply, reducing the need for extra power strips.

7. Mantemento

• Keep the unit clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Ensure the ventilation slots are free from dust and obstructions to maintain proper airflow.
• Regularly check all cables for signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged cables immediately.

8 Solución de problemas

• Sen potencia aos pedais: Ensure the mains power cable is securely connected and the power switch is on. Check the wall outlet for power.
• Pedal Not Functioning: Verify that the pedal's voltage and current requirements match the output it's connected to. Check the polarity of the power cable.
• Unwanted Noise (Hum/Buzz): Ensure all outputs are isolated. Check for proper grounding. Verify that the current draw of your pedals does not exceed the output's maximum current.
• DIP Switch/Variable Output Issues: Ensure DIP switches are fully engaged in the desired position. For variable outputs, confirm the knob is set to the correct voltage.
