  • 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.
  • ינטויטיווע קאָנטראָלס: 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.
  • אַוואַנסירטע פּראָגראַממינג: 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.
  • ווערסאַטאַל קאַנעקטיוויטי: Supports Stereo Input, Stereo Output, and Dry/Wet Split modes.

סעטאַפּ

Follow these steps to connect your MXR M307 pedal to your guitar and ampליפער.

  1. מאַכט קשר: Connect a 9V DC power supply (center negative, 300mA minimum) to the power input jack on the side of the pedal.
  2. אַרייַנשרייַב קשר: Connect your guitar to the "IN" jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
  3. רעזולטאַט קשר: פֿאַרבינדט דעם "OUT" דזשעק אויף דער לינקער זײַט פֿון דעם פּעדאַל צו אײַער amplifier's input using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
  4. Optional External Control: For advanced functionality, connect an expression pedal or external footswitch to the "CTR" jack on the left side.

בילד: אויבן view of the MXR M307 pedal, highlighting its various controls with corresponding numbers.

  1. 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).
  2. פאָאָטסוויטש: 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 פאַרפאַלן באַשטעטיקן.
    • A double tap clears all layers and bypasses the pedal.
  3. אַטאַקע קנעפּל: Adjusts the fade-in time of each layer.
  4. MIX קנופּ: Controls the level of the wet signal (the volume of your layers).
  5. SINGLE Button: Limits the sustain effect to a single layer. By default, there are three simultaneous layers that can overlap. When איין is engaged, only one layer will be active at a time.
  6. TRIG Knob: Sets the sensitivity for auto-triggering layers with your pick attacks.
    • ווען TRIG is in the OFF position (fully counter-clockwise), auto-triggering is disabled, and only the footswitch can activate layers.
    • די TRIG LED is red by default when auto-triggering is enabled; when the input signal exceeds the set threshold, the TRIG LED וועט ווערן גרין.
    • 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.
  7. דעקאַי קנופּ: Sets the fade-out time of the layers, mimicking natural string vibrations by decaying high frequencies first.
  8. 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 קנופּ).
  • 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 איין mode disengaged, you can hold a layer with the footswitch and then auto-trigger additional layers over it.

אַוואַנסירטע אָפּעראַטיאָנס

The MXR M307 offers extensive customization through its programming functions. These allow you to adjust parameters beyond the front panel controls.

  • פּראָגראַממאַבלע פּאַראַמעטערס: 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.
  • עקספּרעססיאָן פּעדאַל ינטעגראַטיאָן: 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.
