Helium
Thank you very much for purchasing The Helium! The Helium was the result of taking what we
learned from the low-gain performance of the Jetdrive and tweaking it into a single channel
pedal.
Just like the Jetdrive, the primary design goal of the Helium was to achieve a natural, organic
low-gain performance that sounds like a great tube amp just on the edge-of-breakup! Making a
pedal low-gain is easy; geing rid of the non-musical artifacts around the notes is not!
Specifically, we tweaked the Helium with slightly less gain than the Jetdrive; we added a bit
more harmonic contrast and we squeezed a bit more piano-like bass performance out of it. The
Helium allows the guitar signal to be reproduced with startling transparency without sterility or
stridency.
The Helium is the perfect compliment to combine with another great OD pedal (such as the
Tritium or Red, for example). The Helium will open up a completely new range of performance
possibilities when stacked!
Controls
The Volume control sets the overall output level. It has a smooth and even taper.
The Gain control will determine the amount of overdrive that the Helium will develop.
The lean/rich control is finely tuned to a specific range of frequencies that has been optimized for
maximum impact-- the full range of the control is usable!
The neutral position of the lean/rich control is at approximately 2 O’clock.
9v DC Input: standard polarity tip negative/barrel positive barrel jack - Make sure it is a quality
regulated DC eliminator. This DC Input is also electrically protected from a reverse polarity
connection.
As with all Jeer Gear pedals, the Helium is True Bypass. Remember, leaving a cable plugged into
the input jack will drain the baery unless a baery eliminator is plugged in (this will internally
disconnect the baery).
LIMITED WARRANTY
The Helium is covered by a Limited one-year Warranty. This warranty covers all manufacturing
defects and parts. Abuse and normal wear and tear is not covered. There are no user serviceable
parts or adjustments inside the box. Any evidence of circuit tampering or modification will void
the warranty.
