POWER

The MXR Noise Clamp can be

powered by one 9 volt battery
(accessed by removing the bottom
plate of the pedal), a Dunlop

ECB003 AC adapter (ECB003E in
Europe) or a Dunlop DCB10 DC

Brick power supply.

DIRECTIONS

• Run a cable from your guitar to
your Noise Clamp’s Input jack

and run another cable from the

Noise Clamp’s output jack to
your amplier.

• Run a cable from the Noise
Clamp’s Send jack to the input
of the rst pedal in your effects

chain. Run another cable from the

Noise Clamp’s Return jack to the
output jack of the last pedal in

your effects chain.

• Turn the effect on by depressing

the footswitch.

**LOOP BYPASS OPTION

Internal switch toggles between two bypass modes: Loop Bypass or Loop
On. When in Loop Bypass mode, the Send/Return effects loop is bypassed
when the pedal is off. In Loop On mode, the Send/Return effects loop is
active while the pedal is off. This can be accessed by removing the back
plate of the pedal.

• The volume threshold is the

minimum level required to turn off
the noise clamp.

• Rotating the Trigger knob
clockwise raises the Noise
Clamp’s volume threshold for

hard clamping, while rotating
it counterclockwise lowers its
volume threshold to let through
quieter notes.
