Hello, and thank you for supporting Magpie Pedals and getting yourself one of my effect pedals! Please feel free to use it with guitar, bass, synths, vocals or anything in between.
The pedal uses 9VDC power (2.1mm jack: center-negative).
Controls:
Right Footswitch: Effect Bypass.
Left Footswitch: Momentary Feedback button. This makes the pedal sing beautiful, haunted songs. It’s connected to both of the delay lines, so depending on how you set the knobs (or if the pedal is in SERIES or PARALLEL mode) it will sing differently. Feedback won’t engage if both knobs are too far counterclockwise, and it will happen faster in shorter delay times. Try moving one of the time knobs (T) when feeding back for maximum fun!
S/P Switch: Lust has two separate delays: one Pink (top row) and one Brown (bottom row). This switch decides if they run in SERIES (up) or PARALLEL (down).
Expression Jack: On the back of Lust there is an expression jack input (the “middle” jack). This is connected to the Pink delays knobs, so you can move around in time with your foot. This is especially fun when the two delays are set in series since the Pink delay is the first delay.
The left-hand “X” knobs are your Mix control for both delays. From dry only, to introducing delay, to slight boost/overdriving of the delay lines.
The central “F” knobs are your Repeat/Feedback controls. Max it to make your pedal oscillate by itself (more so in shorter delay times) or dial it back for your own perfect sweet-spot of delay.
The right-hand “T” knobs are your Delay-Time controls. Counterclockwise for shorter delay-times and clockwise for longer delay-times. Going fully clockwise will make the signal degrade completely and the delay time can be several seconds. It almost turns Lust into a lofi looper if you max the feedback - though it will take a very long time for it to start oscillating with long delay times.
