FL-10

FLANGER PEDAL

• The RES (Resonance) (6) knob adjusts the amount of the resonance (feedback). Turn
clockwise for increasing the emphasis and characteristic effect of the flanger sound.

• The LED INDICATOR (7) lights when the effect is on. This also serves as the battery check, so
when it dims, replace the battery.

• The FOOTSWITCH (8) — switches between the effect and the unaltered signal with each press.
When the effect is on, the LED (7) will light.

Using the FL-10 with Other Effects

Place the following effects BEFORE the FL-10:

Wah-Wah, Envelope Follower, Compression, Distortion

Place the following effects AFTER the FL-10:

Reverb, Delay, EQ

Note: For best sound, all effects placed before the FL-10 should be set at unity gain with the signal
from the instrument.

Introduction

Congratulations, you have purchased one the finest effects petals available. Thanks for choosing
NADY.

• Updated classic flanger design produces thickest flanging available

• Versatile Manual, Rate, Depth, and Resonance controls allow wide selection of swirling sounds
with incredible depth and intensity

Important Notes

Please observe these precautions:

• Inserting the plug of the instrument cable into the input (IN) jack will switch on the pedal’s power
supply. Remove the plug from the input (IN) jack when not using the unit to prolong the battery
life.

• The sound quality will degrade quickly when the LED indicator dims. Replace the battery
immediately. Only alkaline batteries are recommended for longest life and reliability.

• When not using the unit for a long time, remove the battery to avoid damage from battery
leakage.

• Use only the optional Nady PAD-1 adapter for externally powering your pedal. If you’re not going
to use it for an extended period of time, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC outlet. Also,
when using the adapter, do not share the same power circuit with devices that generate line
noise, such as electric motors or lighting dimmers, etc. Please note it is not unusual for the
adapter to get very warm in use — this is normal. If there is a battery in the unit while using the
PAD-1 AC adapter, normal operation will not be interrupted if the power from the AC adapter is
cut off for any reason.

• Don’t remove the screws on the bottom or attempt to open the pedal. They are no user
serviceable parts inside and any tampering with the circuitry will avoid the warranty.

• Transport the unit in the box provided (including padding). Rough handling can cause
malfunctions and physical damage not covered by warranty.

• Grasp the connecter itself whenever connecting/disconnecting all cables — never only pull on
the cable.
