Controls Explained
• EFFECT Knob: The Effect knob selects which effect type will be used.OPTION Knob: The Option knob controls six different parameters, each selected by the Option Select button.OPTION SELECT BUTTON: This selects between six different parameters which will be processed by the Option knob. Frequency adjusts the center point of the filter’s modulation range. Resonance adjusts the width of various peaks and notches in the selected filter’s frequency response. Mix adjusts how much dry signal is introduced into the overall sound (turn clockwise for the introduction of clean tone, and turn counterclockwise for the introduction of signal with “LoRetain”—a clean sound that has been processed with a high-cut filter to preserve low end). Volume controls the overall output level, while Drive introduces and adjusts a level of harmonic distortion applied to processed signal. Type rotates through eight different types of distortion, including Soft Clip, Fold, and more.DEPTH Knob: The Depth knob adjusts the range and direction in which the signal is modulated.SPEED Knob: Depending on the modulation source, the Speed knob controls either the rate of the LFO, the attack and decay times of the envelope followers, or the “Smoothing” of the Hot Hand.MOD SOURCE Knob: When Hot Hand, MIDI, or an expression pedal are not being used, the Manta features 5 different types of modulation control: Slow Attack Envelope Follower, Sine Wave LFO, Square Wave LFO, Sawtooth Wave LFO, and Fast Attack Envelope Follower. The Mod Source knob controls a gradual blend in between each selection, so setting this knob between two of the modulation graphics will create a sound with features of both modulation forms.CONTROL INPUT BUTTON: Selects which external controller type will be used.PRESET SELECT / BYPASS Footswitch: There are two footswitches on the Manta. The left footswitch corresponds to Preset 1, and the right footswitch corresponds to Preset 2. Pressing either of the footswitches will engages the respective preset. Pressing the same footswitch again puts the pedal back into bypass mode. Pressing the other footswitch engages the other preset without going into bypass. The illumination of the LEDs labeled “1” and “2” indicates which preset is currently enabled. While the pedal is in bypass mode both LEDs remain off.

External Control
• The Multi-Function input is an intelligent control input that accepts both digital and analog control signals. It replaces the Sensor input on previous Soundblox pedals. The Multi-Function input connects to wired or wireless Hot Hand accessories, the Source Audio Expression Pedal, or the Source Audio Soundblox Hub. With these pedals and this connection, you can control the pedal through MIDI, expression, or Hot Hand control.

Universal Bypass
• All Soundblox 2 pedals offer Universal Bypass, which allows you to select between two types of bypass. We recommend that you choose between the Manta's active analog (a.k.a. buffered bypass) and relay-based true bypass (a.k.a. true bypass) based on what is needed in your pedalboard's signal chain. Ideally, the first pedal in a signal chain is a buffered input followed by true bypass in the rest of the signal chain.
