Introduksjon
The MXR M307 Layers Harmonic Sustain Electric Guitar Effects Pedal is designed to enrich your guitar's sound with organic sustain and harmonic depth. This pedal allows for the creation of multi-layered soundscapes, extending the creative potential of your instrument. It enables complex chord voicings, transcendent melodies, and harmonic ensembles within a compact MXR housing.

Nøkkelfunksjoner
- Rich, Organic Sustain: Provides high-fidelity sustain that enhances every note and chord.
- Multi-Layering Capability: Creates up to three simultaneous layers of sustain with natural decay.
- Dynamic Triggering: Layers can be engaged via footswitch or automatically triggered by playing dynamics.
- Intuitive kontroller: Features Mix, Trig, Attack, and Decay knobs for precise sound shaping.
- Sub Octave Switch: Adds a subterranean octave to one or more layers for a deeper sound.
- Avansert programmering: Offers customization options for modulation intensity, delay time, diffusion, and more.
- External Control Options: Supports external sustain pedals or switches (e.g., MXR Split + Tap) and expression pedals.
- Allsidig tilkobling: Supports Stereo Input, Stereo Output, and Dry/Wet Split modes.
Oppsett
Follow these steps to connect your MXR M307 pedal to your guitar and amplivligere.
- Strømtilkobling: Connect a 9V DC power supply (center negative, 300mA minimum) to the power input jack on the side of the pedal.
- Inngangstilkobling: Connect your guitar to the "IN" jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Utgangstilkobling: Koble «OUT»-kontakten på venstre side av pedalen til din ampsenderens inngang ved hjelp av en standard 6 mm instrumentkabel.
- Optional External Control: For advanced functionality, connect an expression pedal or external footswitch to the "CTR" jack on the left side.

Bruksanvisning
Kontrollene er overview

Bilde: Topp view of the MXR M307 pedal, highlighting its various controls with corresponding numbers.
- CTR Jack: Used to connect an expression pedal or external footswitch, or to send a dry output signal when using Dry/Wet Split mode (see Advanced Operation).
- Fotbryter: Governs the creation and deletion of sustain layers.
- Pressing the footswitch engages a layer.
- Holding the footswitch holds a layer indefinitely until released.
- Upon release, the layer fades out according to the FORFALL innstilling.
- A double tap clears all layers and bypasses the pedal.
- ATTACK-knapp: Adjusts the fade-in time of each layer.
- MIX-knapp: Controls the level of the wet signal (the volume of your layers).
- SINGLE Button: Limits the sustain effect to a single layer. By default, there are three simultaneous layers that can overlap. When ENKELT is engaged, only one layer will be active at a time.
- TRIG Knob: Sets the sensitivity for auto-triggering layers with your pick attacks.
- Når Trig is in the OFF position (fully counter-clockwise), auto-triggering is disabled, and only the footswitch can activate layers.
- De TRIG LED is red by default when auto-triggering is enabled; when the input signal exceeds the set threshold, the TRIG LED blir grønn.
- For a layer to be triggered, the signal must exceed the threshold (i.e., the TRIG LED is green), and the pedal must detect a pick attack.
- DECAY-knapp: Sets the fade-out time of the layers, mimicking natural string vibrations by decaying high frequencies first.
- SUB OCT Switch: Engages a sub-octave effect, taking one or more of your layers down an octave for a deeper, subterranean sound.
Layering Mechanics
- The pedal supports up to three active layers, each indicated by its own mini LED.
- Layers can be triggered manually by the footswitch or automatically based on your playing dynamics (controlled by the Trig knott).
- To hold a layer with the footswitch: Play a note or chord, then press and hold the footswitch. Release to allow the layer to fade.
- To auto-trigger layers: Adjust the Trig knob to set the sensitivity. Layers will be created in response to your attack.
- Combining methods: With ENKELT mode disengaged, you can hold a layer with the footswitch and then auto-trigger additional layers over it.
Avanserte operasjoner
The MXR M307 offers extensive customization through its programming functions. These allow you to adjust parameters beyond the front panel controls.
- Programmerbare parametere: Adjust modulation intensity, delay time, diffusion, and other advanced settings. Refer to the full MXR M307 manual (available online) for detailed programming instructions.
- External Sustain/Tap Control: Use a keyboard sustain pedal or an off-board switch (e.g., MXR Split + Tap) connected to the CTR jack to trigger layers.
- Expression Pedal Integration: Connect an expression pedal to the CTR jack to blend setting configurations, such as with the Volume(X) 8 Pedal.
- Stereo and Dry/Wet Modes: The pedal supports Stereo Input, Stereo Output, and Dry/Wet Split modes for enhanced routing flexibility. Consult the comprehensive manual for setup details on these modes.
Vedlikehold
- Rengjøring: Bruk en myk, tørr klut til å rengjøre utsiden av pedalen. Unngå slipende rengjøringsmidler eller løsemidler.
- Strømforsyning: Always use a regulated 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity and a minimum current rating of 300mA. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.
- Lagring: Oppbevar pedalen på et kjølig og tørt sted, unna direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer når den ikke er i bruk.
- Kabeltilkoblinger: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Periodically check cables for wear and tear.
Feilsøking
| Problem | Mulig årsak | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| No sound or weak signal. | Incorrect cable connections, faulty cables, incorrect power supply, pedal in bypass mode. |
|
| Layers are not triggering automatically. | TRIG knob set to OFF, insufficient input signal, SINGLE mode engaged. |
|
| Layers fade too quickly or too slowly. | DECAY knob setting. | Juster FORFALL knob to achieve the desired fade-out time. |
| Undesired noise or hum. | Jordsløyfe, defekt strømforsyning, forstyrrelser fra annen elektronikk. |
