THANK YOU!
For purchasing a Morley® pedal.
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the
features of your new pedal. With common sense handling,
it should last for years. We know you will appreciate the
rugged construction of your Morley®. Most of all, we hope
you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed building it.
CONTROLS
The Sapphire Flanger has three controls: SPEED, TRAVEL
& REGEN (regeneration). Understanding these controls
will help you to get the sound you are looking for.
The SPEED control determines the speed of the flange
effect. A slow speed would give you a long swirl type
effect versus a fast speed which is comparable to a vibrato
effect. You will notice the LED blinks in real time with the
speed that is set. Keep in mind that your overall sound is a
product of your guitar, amp, pickups, effects, cables,
strings and of course - playing style.
The TRAVEL control alters the sweep of harmonic
overtone that will be heard when playing. Again, refer to
the sample setting section of this manual for hints.
The REGEN (regeneration) control adjusts the amount of
flange signal mixed with dry signal.
CONNECTIONS
IN: Input jack. Plug instrument into this jack using 1/4”
guitar cable.
OUT: Connect amplifier to this jack using a 1/4” guitar
cable.
9V: Connect Morley 9 volt regulated AC adapter to this
jack.
NOTE: You’ll find your cord fits very tightly into our input
and output jacks. The tight fits helps prevent the cord from
becoming accidentally unplugged from the pedal. Make
sure the cords are completely plugged in for best results.
AC ADAPTER
Use only Morley’s 9-volt regulated adapters. Using a nonregulated adapter could cause a low frequency hum in
your amplifier.
BATTERY
The SAPPHIRE FLANGER is designed to use one 9 volt
battery when not using an adapter. We suggest you use a
good quality alkaline battery.
Your pedal is designed for long battery life. To prolong
battery life, unplug your cord completely from the input
jack when not using the pedal. When the pedal is not used
for extended periods, we recommend you remove the
battery from the pedal or replace it every six month to
prevent leakage problems.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the battery becomes weak, the overall flange effect
will be noticeably weak as well.
Remove the battery door located on the bottom of the
pedal. (a short cord is attached to the door to help prevent
loss. Once the door is off, the old battery can be removed
from the battery snap and a new battery plugged in. Make
sure the polarity (+/-) is correct before inserting the new
battery.
When you replace the battery door , you will notice it fits
very tightly against the battery. This prevents the battery
from rattling inside the pedal.
