Does the S.B.G. work safely with ALL effects pedals?

  • The reason the module has two gain controls (the black thumb knobs) is to accommodate the many different pedal designs that are out there.
  • To be safe, start with low levels when connecting S.B.G. to your pedal(s). It is extremely unlikely you will damage anything even with high levels; if the gain is set too high you may just hear unwanted distortion.
  • The bottom section of the S.B.G. limits CV signals to a maximum of +3 or +5 volts as to be safely patched into a pedal’s expression input. You should also use the included ‘floating ring cable’ which comes with the S.B.G.
  • If you are unsure which maximum voltage your pedal expects then check with the manufacturer, but you should always be safe using the 3V output.
