טיפול ותחזוקה

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Strymon NightSky pedal, follow these guidelines:

• ניקוי: השתמשו במטלית רכה ויבשה לניקוי החלק החיצוני של הדוושה. הימנעו מחומרי ניקוי שוחקים או ממסים.
• אִחסוּן: יש לאחסן את הדוושה במקום קריר ויבש, הרחק מאור שמש ישיר וטמפרטורות קיצוניות.
• ספק כוח: Always use the recommended 9V DC power supply with the correct polarity. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• חיבורים: Ensure all cables are securely connected to prevent signal loss or damage. Disconnect cables when not in use or during transport.

פתרון בעיות

If you encounter issues with your NightSky pedal, try the following steps:

• אין כוח:
  • Verify the power supply is correctly connected and is the specified 9V DC.
  • בדוק את הפונקציונליות של שקע החשמל.
• אין צליל:
  • Ensure all audio cables are properly connected to the input and output jacks.
  • Check the input source (instrument, synth) and output destination (amplifier, mixer) for proper operation.
  • Verify the pedal is engaged (ON footswitch LED is lit).
  • Check the MIX knobs (REVERB and DRY) to ensure they are not set to minimum.
• רעש/צליל בלתי צפוי:
  • בדוק אם יש לולאות הארקה או הפרעות ממכשירים אלקטרוניים אחרים.
  • ודא שכל הכבלים במצב תקין ומוגנים כראוי.
  • Adjust the DRIVE knob if saturated harmonics are not desired.
