THEORY OF OPERATION
The Classic Pro features distortion effects that are re-creations of popular pedal and amplier based distortions. We have chosen names for the
distortions that will be suggestive of the sounds you will get with all of
the controls in the central part of their range. We are not trying to imply
exact simulations of the various analog effects. Rather, this is a different
take on classic sounds based more upon evaluating the sounds by ear
and overall circuit function instead of attempting to do a mathematical
model or emulation (which, incidentally, we think is really not possible
for distortions).
The following list describes the major new features available in the
Classic Pro:
Architecture
Most analog fuzzes and distortions have multiple points where the signal
passes through a distortion circuit, an op-amp, a transistor, or a diode.
We provide two such cascaded distortion functions, each with a
control in front of it. The
tions. The graphic
MIDRANGE control sits between the two distor-
EQ is at very end of the chain.
DRIVE controls
The DRIVE knobs control the gain of the two distortion curves. You can
obtain the same amount of overall gain through the system with various
combinations of the two controls: one high and the other low, both in the
middle, etc. However, the resulting sound will be different. Distortion
from
DRIVE 1 has more EQ applied to it than the distortion from DRIVE 2.
Essentially, you just have to experiment and listen to the results.
DRIVE
MIDRANGE control
This control provides
12 dB of cut or boost to a midrange frequency band
which is approximately two octaves wide. The exact frequency is different
depending on which distortion has been selected.
Graphic EQ
The
7-band graphic equalizer can be adjusted in 1 dB steps. Moving
bands up or down

no distortion). The graphic

DRIVES are turned up, there will be a raspy sound as the signal
peaks are hard clipped. In general, this doesn’t sound very good. However, if the
DRIVE controls are cranked, the resultant distortion is not bad
at all despite consisting only of digital hard clipping. Don’t believe that?
Give it a try. This distortion sound can be improved by rolling off the
RANGE
control and using the graphic EQ to further shape the sound.
MID-
If the
MIDRANGE control is increased, a hotter signal will be applied to
the second distortion curve and you might need to reduce
accordingly. Maxing out both
DRIVE controls will probably be excessive.
Most of the distortion avors sound better with more moderate

DRIVE
settings. DRIVE 1 and your guitar volume both directly control the signal
applied to the rst distortion curve. Using a higher setting of
DRIVE 1, you
can set your guitar volume quite low for a cleaner tone and increase your
guitar volume when you need more distortion.

MIDRANGE
Provides boost or cut to pre-selected midrange frequency. The frequency
varies depending on the type of distortion selected with the
EFFECT knob.
OUTPUT
Adjusts the output level of the effect. This is useful for setting the level
of the effect compared to the bypass signal. Note that because the effect
compresses the signal, the dynamic range of the distorted signal will
be less compared to the dry signal. This should be accounted for when
setting levels.
CONTROLS: EQUALIZER
One of the key features of the Classic Pro is the 7-band graphic equalizer.
The Equalizer is post distortion. Each band can be adjusted up or down
in
1 dB steps from -12 dB to +12 dB and the setting is indicated by the dis-
play. The display shows

Here are some brief descriptions of the effects included in the Classic
Pro. Most of the effects are based on, but not exact copies of, a variety of
popular analog distortion pedals. Don’t expect the sounds to be exactly
like the corresponding analog effects. We tried to capture the spirit of
each sound rather than trying to copy the exact nuts and bolts.
TUBE DRIVE
An overdriven tube amp effect similar to a Marshall

sound. Try scaling
back the drive knob for a nice mild overdrive.

CRUNCH TUBE
Our own distortion, not based on any particular sound. It’s a more
aggressive tube distortion.
CLEAN BOOST/EQ
A distortion effect bypass that still allows the gain and the graphic
to be used. Great for doing clean lead boosts or use strictly as a
graphic
EQ. Clipping the output is possible with this setting. If the levels
are boosted high enough, the hard clipping can actually sound pretty
good. See the Theory of Operation section for details.

A
The expression input on the Classic Pro can be used to morph between
two presets. More specically, you can morph from between banks from
preset
1 to 4, 2 to 5, and 3 to 6.
There are
66 possible pair combinations of sounds and some will sound
better than others. Some obvious applications are morphing from clean
to distorted sounds, low drive settings to high drive settings, changes in
volume, or between dramatically different sounds.
The expression pedal can effectively be inverted by pressing the
BANK
button. This will toggle start and stop presets for the pedal. Keep
PRESET
in mind that adjusting knobs while using the expression pedal will only
control the preset in the currently selected bank, independent of the
expression pedal position. Also, while tweaking presets to get the desired
pair of sounds for morphing, don’t forget to save before switching banks
with the bank select button.
The expression pedal can also be used as a means of effectively switching between preset banks, allowing access to all
6 presets with foot
controls only.
The expression input is intended for use primarily with a passive expression pedal. It could potentially be used with a Control Voltage
but the input voltage range is limited to
before connecting any
age range (above
CV output to the Classic Psro. Exceeding the volt-
3.3V or below 0V) could damage the unit.
Expression pedals should have a three-conductor

expression pedals are this type. The resistance value of the pedal is not

The MIDI Channel is selectable as a Backpage parameter. Please see the

While the primary function of the Classic Pro is as a standalone effects
pedal you also have the option of exploring some additional functions
by plugging in a Hot Hand sensor. When a sensor is connected and
enabled, it will control the amount of
DRIVE. The maximum amount of
drive you can get by moving the sensor is determined by the position
of the
DRIVE knob.
Hot Hand Basics
The Hot Hand motion sensors are sold separately and come in either
wired or wireless versions. Both will work with the Classic Pro. Additionally, the
sensors. The
SENSOR IN jack will be compatible with any future Source Audio
SENSOR OUT jack duplicates the signals on the SENSOR IN
and can be used to daisy-chain multiple pedals together using the same
Hot Hand sensor.
The Hot Hand ring contains a two axis accelerometer that responds
to acceleration and is not based on any type of proximity to the guitar.
By moving your hand or by changing the position of your hand you can
modulate the effect. For a good description of Hot Hand Theory, download the Hot Hand Motion Controlled Wah Filters manual. It is available
at www.sourceaudio.net.

Calibration
The Classic Pro has a calibration feature which is only used in Hot Hand
mode. However, calibration is not required before use. The calibration
feature allows you to set the
MAXIMUM point of the DRIVE sweep for any
position of your hand. Depending on your playing style, you may nd it
useful to try some different calibration positions. The default and most
common use of calibration is to have your hand pointing straight up as
the maximum point of the
DRIVE sweep. Calibration can also be useful
if you are putting the sensor on a headband or other alternate locations.
Calibration mode can only be enabled when
HH ENABLE in ON. Calibra-
tion settings are saved per preset.
To perform a calibration:

Backpage Parameters | 2120 | Use with Hot Hand
Page 12
Here is the list of parameters that can be edited in Backpage mode:
Noise Gate (NG)
This sets the threshold of the noise gate. Lower values lower the threshold, and result in less gating action. The default value is set to what
seems appropriate to the noise level in our box, which is rather low. You
might want to raise the threshold to deal with other noise in your system.
If you just don’t like gates, lower the threshold all the way to the bottom.
Hot Hand Gain (HG)
The gain or depth of the Hot Hand signals can be adjusted with this parameter. Increasing the value from the default will make Hot Hand have
more effect with less motion. Decreasing the gain will do the opposite.
Hot Hand Smoothing (HS)
This controls the amount of smoothing (ltering) on the Hot Hand signals.
Similar to the motion knobs on other Hot Hand products. Turning this up
will result in more smoothing on the signal.
Hot Hand Axis (HA)
Controls the Hot Hand axis used. The default value of this parameter
uses the X axis. Any other value will select the Y axis.
Hot Hand Range (HR)
Adjusts the overall range of the Hot Hand attenuation from a maximum
of
36 dB to a minimum of 18 dB. The bottom default value is 36 dB, 18 dB
is the top.
MIDI Channel (Effect Knob)
The label numbers around the effect knob correspond to
1 through 16. Channel 1 is the default. This is a global setting and not
