FAiRLiGHT « Simple and effective »

UTILIZATION
Usage is very simple, just press the footswitch to cut and pass the signal when nothing is connected to the inputs and return or send to send the signal in the loop (SEND / RETURN)
The button "ENGAGE" allows you to select the operation of the pedal:
THROUGH: the signal is continuous and is interrupted when the footswitch is pressed
FX: the signal passes only when the footswitch is pressed if it is cut
The button "SEND" allows you to choose how the input signal is processed by the pedal
FSW: The input signal is sent directly into the loop
ON: The input signal is sent through the loop and the output (AMP)
2 operating modes:
KILLSWITCH: the pedal is used to cut and pass the signal
For this mode, nothing must be logged in entries SEND and RETURN
Only the button "ENGAGE" is taken into account
LINE SELECTOR: the pedal sends the signal directly to the output (AMP) in the loop (SEND)
The 2 buttons ("CALLS" and "SEND") are active
Concerning the use in itself, you can use it either at the beginning of string (KILLSWITCH mode) for example by switching guitars, mute between 2 pieces, etc. ... to enable / disable an effect on a temporary (user LINE SELECTOR) as an overdrive to boost your solo time, phaser, etc. ...
KILLSWITCH function may also allow you to create a very nice tremolo effect
SOUND QUALITY
The pedal does not color the sound, it is not true bypass but buffured bypass so no alteration of the sound but it must be fed so that the signal passes
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week, I bought it without any real reason to start and in the end it easily found its place and function on my pedalboard.
Finally a pedal that does exactly what is asked and what is expected of her (and even more) with quality EHX bonus!
