Electro-Harmonix Pan Instruction Manual
If you accidentally press the CALIBRATE button and the EHX logo blinks, do not press
CALIBRATE again. After approximately 7 seconds, the PAN pedal will stop blinking
and ignore the button press.
ROUTING MODES – HOW TO CONNECT TO YOUR PAN PEDAL
The PAN pedal can be used in one of four routing modes. The routing mode changes
depending on which input and output jacks have plugs inserted.
1) MONO VOLUME PEDAL (mono in/mono out): Plug into LEFT IN and LEFT
OUT jacks only. The PAN pedal acts like a straight-forward volume pedal in
this mode. As the pedal moves from the heel to toe position, the volume at
PAN
PAN / BLEND / STEREO VOLUME PEDAL
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix PAN pedal from our
ground-breaking NEXT STEP series! The PAN pedal has no moving parts: it does not
use a potentiometer, optics or magnetism to sweep the pan controls. The result is a
responsive pedal that allows precise control over the stereo imaging of your musical
instrument(s). The PAN pedal can be used to pan one input to two outputs, blend
two inputs to one output or as a mono or stereo volume pedal.
GETTING STARTED
Plug your instrument into the LEFT IN jack; connect LEFT OUT to one amp and
RIGHT OUT to another amp. Within seconds the EHX logo in the center of the pedal
will light. Your PAN pedal is ready for use! As long as a plug is inserted into the LEFT
IN jack, a drain is placed on the 9V battery inside the PAN pedal. We recommend you
unplug the LEFT IN jack when the PAN pedal is not in use to extend battery life.
CALIBRATION
To ensure the PAN pedal responds to its full sweep range, it may be necessary to
calibrate the sweep of the PAN pedal when it is used on a different surface since its
last use. It is particularly important to calibrate if the PAN pedal is used on a slanted
surface. We recommend calibrating the PAN pedal during its first use.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
1. Place the pedal on the surface where it will be used.
2. Ensure the PAN pedal is sitting flat on the surface then press and release the
CALIBRATE button once; the EHX logo begins to blink indicating the toe
position has been saved.
3. While the EHX logo continues to blink, rock the pedal all the way back to the
extreme heel position and hold it there.
4. Press and release the CALIBRATE button once more.
5. The EHX logo will stop blinking to indicate that the heel position has been
saved. The calibration procedure is complete.
ENTERING/EXITING BYPASS
Toggle between buffered bypass and effect mode by tipping the PAN pedal
forward, in the toe direction, past the flat position of the PAN pedal. You do not need
to tip the PAN pedal all the way forward; 25% of the total forward travel will do it.
The PAN pedal needs to return to its flat position before you can toggle between
bypass and effect mode again.
When the PAN pedal is in effect mode, the EHX logo in the center of the pedal will
light up. In bypass mode, the logo does not light.
POWER
Plugging into the LEFT IN jack activates power from the internal 9 Volt battery. The
LEFT IN plug should be removed when the unit is not in use to avoid running down
the LEFT OUT jack increases. Bypass Mode: LEFT IN connects to LEFT OUT.
2) BLEND PEDAL (stereo in/mono out): Plug into the LEFT and RIGHT IN
jacks and the LEFT OUT jack only. In Blend mode, the PAN pedal acts like a
wet/dry control, mixing the two inputs together to one mono output. As you
move the pedal from the heel to toe position, the volume of the LEFT IN
signal increases while the volume of the RIGHT IN signal decreases. The
RIGHT IN signal is loudest in the heel position while the LEFT IN signal is
loudest in the toe position. In the middle of the pedal’s sweep range, each
input will be at equal volume at the LEFT OUT jack. Bypass Mode: LEFT IN
connects to LEFT OUT. RIGHT IN is muted.
3) PAN PEDAL (mono in/stereo out): Plug into the LEFT IN jack and both the
LEFT and RIGHT OUT jacks. In Pan mode, the LEFT input signal will sweep
between the LEFT and RIGHT OUT jacks. In the heel position, the LEFT IN
will come out the RIGHT OUT jack only. In the toe position, the LEFT IN
comes out the LEFT OUT jack only. When in the middle of the pedal’s sweep
range, each output will be at equal volume. Bypass Mode: LEFT IN connects
to both LEFT OUT and RIGHT OUT at an equal volume.
4) STEREO VOLUME PEDAL (stereo in/stereo out): Plug into all four audio
jacks. The LEFT IN will come out the LEFT OUT only. The RIGHT IN will
come out the RIGHT OUT only. As the pedal moves from the heel to toe
position, the volume of both outputs increases. Bypass Mode: LEFT IN
connects to LEFT OUT. RIGHT IN connects to RIGHT OUT.
the battery. If an AC Adapter is used, the PAN pedal will be powered up as long as
the AC Adapter is correctly plugged in.
The PAN’s power jack is located on the same side as the OUT jacks. A 9 Volt AC
Adapter capable of delivering at least 50mA of current at 9VDC is required to power
the PAN pedal. The inner ring of the 9 Volt AC Adapter must be negative, the outer
ring positive. The optional 9V power supply from Electro-Harmonix is 9.6DC-200BI
(same as used by Boss® & Ibanez®) 9.6 Volts DC/200mA. The unit’s battery may be
left in or taken out when the AC Adapter is in use. The actual current draw of the
PAN PEDAL is 24 mA.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
1. Locate the battery door at the front of the PAN, under the toe area of the
top plate.
2. Remove the large black screw that holds the battery door to the case, most
coins or larger slotted screwdrivers can be used to remove this screw.
3. Connect your new 9V battery to the wired battery connector.
4. Insert the 9V battery into the battery holder clip on the battery door so that
the wired connector is on the same side of the hole in the battery door.
5. Place the battery door back into its window in the case of the PAN pedal and
re-install the screw.
NOTES AND SPECIFICATIONS
PAN pedal has buffered bypass.
The input impedance presented at each IN Jack is 2M.
