4. Instrucións de funcionamento
4.1 Control de volume
When configured as a volume pedal, pressing the pedal forward (toe down) increases the volume, while pulling it back (heel down) decreases the volume. The passive design ensures a clean signal path without requiring external power.

4.2 Expression Control
As an expression pedal, the foot-controlled sweep sends a continuous control voltage to the connected effects unit. The range and function of this control are determined by the settings on the effects unit itself. For example, it can control parameters like wah sweep, delay time, or modulation depth.
