LR Baggs Align Chorus User guide

ALIGN SERIES

CHORUS

USER’S GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

In the same way a choir enhances the foundation of a

melody, the Align Chorus complements your acoustic

guitar rather than placing the eect in the limelight.

With the purity of LR Baggs’ circuitry and the eect in

side chain, the Chorus adds fullness behind your guitar

without any signal degradation. We designed the pedal

with simple and intuitive controls that help you dial in a

pleasing eect quickly and easily.

GETTING STARTED

1. Power the Chorus with a 9V power supply or a

9V battery.

2. Plug your instrument into the input to activate the

Chorus (upper right hand side) and a cable into the

¼” output (upper left hand side).

3. Start with the volume control at noon. This should

match the engaged signal with the bypassed signal.

4. Plug the ¼” cable into your amp, PA, or next pedal in

the signal chain and experiment with the Chorus.

TOP FEATURES

A. TONE

This is a simple control to help you alter the tone of

the chorus itself. It will not aect the tone of your

instrument, only the tone of the chorus. Turn the control

clockwise for a bright, radiant sound or counterclock-

wise for a subtle, smooth chorus tone.

B. INSTRUMENT INPUT

The ¼” input is an unbalanced (mono), all-discrete

input. Plugging into the input will activate the Chorus,

therefore, unplugging will turn the system o.

C. SIZE

This size control blends between two chorus voicings

that interact with one another. It’s essentially like

adding more instruments as you increase the size. Turn

counter clockwise for a small chorus. Turn clockwise for

a large chorus.

D. ENGAGE

Press the footswitch to engage the eects. When the

light is on, all of the controls on the Chorus are engaged.

When the light is o, the whole pedal is true bypassed.

E. CHORUS

The chorus control blends an aected chorus signal

with an unaected instrument signal. When turned fully

counterclockwise, no chorus will aect the signal. Turn

clockwise to add chorus.

F. ¼” OUT

The ¼” output is an unbalanced, line level output. You

can plug into any amp or device that has a ¼” input.

We recommend running into any other LR Baggs Align

pedals, DI’s, or the Synapse Personal PA System.

G. VOLUME

The master volume will help you nd a balance between

your engaged and bypassed signal. It is only active

when the engage light is on. Keep in mind that the level

of the chorus control can aect this balance, so you may

need to adjust the volume as you adjust the eect.

SIDE FEATURES

A. DC INPUT

The DC power input is designed for a standard 2mm

plug commonly used with eects pedals and “oorbox”

products. Most power supplies or multi-power devices

designed for musical products may be used. 9VDC

recommended with a 12VDC maximum. Plugging in a

power supply will activate the Chorus.
