Hi,

I recently purchased this pedal, and it’s wonderful! However, I’m not sure if this particular unit is functioning 100% correctly. But I’m still getting used to it, so maybe I’m misunderstanding something.

I use the pedal to detune my signal by a minor 2nd (“-m2” on the display) for some songs. I want only the minor 2nd signal sent to my amp. It’s a permanent requirement for me; it’s the pedal’s main use in my set-up. Therefore, I leave the pedal’s Dry and Shift 2 knobs turned completely counter-clockwise (“Off”). I leave the Shift 1 knob set to about 10- or 11-o’clock (“On”).

When the pedal powers on, it always defaults to the following settings:
• “P5” Shift Mode displayed
• Shift 1 LED illuminated
• User and Bypass LEDs illuminated

The main issue/question is that each time I power-on the unit and select the “-m2” Shift Mode, the unit seems to ignore the Dry knob’s setting (“Off”). I’m not sure if that’s by design, or if there’s a problem with the unit. The result is that the pedal sends a blend of the Dry and minor 2nd signals to my amp.

To get a clean minor 2nd signal each time I power-on the pedal, I must repeat these steps:

1. Select “-m2” with the Value knob.
2. Slightly rotate the “Dry” knob clockwise, then rotate it back to the “Off” position. This turns the Dry signal off.

Unless I adjust the Dry knob after each power-on, the pedal defaults to a blend of the Dry and Shift 1 signals, even though the Dry knob was previously turned completely off. Is that by design? I would expect the pedal to recognize the Dry knob’s “Off” setting and therefore remove the Dry signal from the output.

Also, the pedal does not remember the “-m2” Shift Mode setting across power cycles. That’s less of an issue, but is it by design?

Again, this is a fantastic pedal. Please let me know if the issues I described are by design.

Thanks!
