Analog Compressor/Sustainer

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Tone Corset. The Tone
Corset is an analog compressor/sustainer that allows for extreme or subtle control of
the dynamics of your instrument. There are controls for setting the output volume,
sustain/compression, attack, blend amount and pad switch

Volt battery. If using an adaptor make sure to use one with the correct polarity. Failure to do so
may damage your TONE CORSET and void the warranty. Please use an Electro-Harmonix

9.6DC-200mA power supply (same as used by Boss® & Ibanez®: 9.6 Volts DC 200mA) which is
sold separately.

VOLUME KNOB: Adjusts the output level of the effect

SUSTAIN KNOB: Controls the amount of the compression

ATTACK KNOB: Controls how quickly the compressor will recover

.

BLEND KNOB: Adjusts the mix of the dry and compressed signal set to the output

PAD SWITCH: Pads down the input signal to prevent undesirable distortion

When the effect is engaged, the LED is lit.

The ¼” jack is the audio input for the Tone Corset. The input impedance is 1MΩ.

AMP JACK-

The ¼” jack is the audio out for the Tone Corset. The output impedance is 100Ω.

CHANGING THE BATTERY
