Lush, analog chorus designed to recreate our legendary Small Clone in a
pedal-board friendly package. Using a high quality bucket brigade chip
and the same classic Small Clone circuit, this true analog design has
been massaged and tweaked for accuracy and superior sonic qualities. The
Neo Clone delivers the Classic Small Clone sound at a price that sweeps
the competition away.
Quick Specs
- Same amazing chorus as the legendary Small Clone
- Pedal board friendly foot print
- Total analog design
- Sultry sonic texture with depth control
- Battery equipped with optional 9.6DC-200 power supply
The Neo Clone is a compact battery operated Chorus effects pedal that
features DEPTH and RATE controls, True Bypass and an LED function
indicator. To produce the Chorus effect, the Neo Clone bends the
frequency slightly from the input source and mixes this altered signal
with some direct unaffected signal. The combination produces a doubling
effect.
-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS-
Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack and your amp into the AMP jack,
which is the Neo Clone's output jack. Please note that as long as
anything is plugged into the INPUT, a drain is placed on your battery.
It is recommended that you disconnect the INPUT when the unit is not in
use to extend battery life.
The DEPTH switch controls the amount of frequency change that occurs in
the altered signal. The speed of Chorus modulation is controlled by the
RATE knob.
The red LED indicates when the effect is switched on. The footswitch
toggles between the Chorus effect and true bypass.
- POWER -
Power from the internal 9-volt battery is activated by plugging into the
INPUT jack. The input cable should be removed when the unit is not in
use to avoid running down the battery. If a battery eliminator is used,
the Neo Clone will be powered up as long as a wall-wart is plugged into
the wall.
The barrel connector on the front of the Neo Clone is for a 9-volt
battery eliminator capable of delivering at least 25 mA of current. The
optional 9V power supply from Electro-Harmonix is 9.6DC-200BI (same as
used by Boss® & Ibanez®) 9.6 Volts DC 200mA. The inner ring of the
9-volt battery eliminator must be negative, the outer ring positive. The
unit's battery may be left in or taken out when the eliminator is in
use. The actual current draw of the Neo Clone is 12 mA.
To change the 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom
of the Neo Clone. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the
bottom plate and change the battery. Please do not touch the circuit
board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a component.
The input impedance presented at the Input Jack is 220k ohm. The output
impedance at the Amp Jack is 1k ohm.
