Stingray Manual - pages 2, 27 WELCOME Thank you for pucrhasing the Soundblox 2 STINGRAY Multi-Filter. This powerful multi-effects unit features a dynamic collection of meticulously crafted filter effects designed for guitar and other instruments. With complete control over 10 different parameters like MODULATION SOURCE, DEPTH, MIX, TONE, DRIVE and more, this pedal goes far beyond the sonic limitations of other filter or envolope follower effects.
Stingray Manual - pages 26,3 SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions • L: 4.5 inches • W: 4.5 inches • H: 2.25 inches (including knobs) Weight • 1.00 lbs Power • 140mA @ 9V DC (max 180mA with Hot Hand Wireless Adapter) • Negative tip power jack OVERVIEW Audio Performance • Maximum input level: 2.
Stingray Manual - pages 4, 25 QUICK START UNIVERSAL BYPASS 1. POWER To power the unit, connect the included DC adapter power supply to the 9V jack (A) on the back panel. Most effect pedals offer either true or buffered bypass. All Soundblox 2 pedals offer Universal Bypass, which allows you to select between the two. We recommend that you choose between the STINGRAY’s active analog (a.k.a. buffered bypass) and relay-based true bypass (a.k.a.
Stingray Manual - pages 24, 5 To perform a calibration: 1. Select a preset by pressing a footswitch. 2. Enable Hot Hand control by selecting HH mode with the CONTROL INPUT button. 3. Press and hold the CONTROL INPUT button until the HH red LED begins to blink slowly (note: this is the same as the control assign procedure). • OPTION (C): Adjusts the parameter selected by the OPTION SELECT button.
Stingray Manual - pages 6, 23 CONNECTIONS GUITAR IN (A): Connect to your guitar, bass, or other instrument via a MONO ¼-inch instrument cable. GUITAR OUT (B): Connect to your amp, pedal, or other audio device via a MONO ¼-inch instrument cable. MULTI-FUNCTION IN (C) (optional): The multi-function input is a flexible control input for use with external controllers.

The LED will blink three times to indicate the process is complete. Note: This control assignment can be programmed to a preset. Don’t forget to save your settings! Also, each external controller can only be assigned to one parameter. To restore an external controller to modulation, see below.
Stingray Manual - pages 8, 21 DEPTH Knob (A): The DEPTH knob adjusts the range and direction of the filter sweep. OPTION Knob (B): The OPTION knob controls six different parameters, each selected by the OPTION SELECT button. Press the OPTION SELECT button (C), located to the left of the OPTION knob, to cycle through all six choices. The selected parameter is indicated by one of three green/red LEDs. Green indicates the upper parameter (white print), and red indicates the lower parameter (yellow print).

Stingray Manual - pages 10, 19 Press button to select option • MIX (Green LED): Adjusts how much of the dry signal (no effect), wet signal (full effect), or wet signal with “LoRETAIN”, are blended together. The 12 o’clock position produces a 100% dry signal. As the knob is turned clockwise from 12 o’clock, the wet signal gradually increases as the dry signal decreases, until reaching a 100% wet signal at the knob’s maximum position (fully clock-wise).

Stingray Manual - pages 12, 17 MOD SOURCE Knob: When Hot Hand, MIDI, or an expression pedal are not being used, the STINGRAY features 6 different types of modulation control: Slow Attack Envelope Follower, Sine Wave LFO, Square Wave LFO, Random Sample and Hold, 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.
Stingray Manual - pages 16, 13 EFFECT TYPES 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. Filter effects are used to enhance or remove certain frequencies as they modulate your instrument’s signal. The STINGRAY features a wide variety of filter types that can create dramatically different sounding effects.
Stingray Manual - pages 14, 15 CONTROLS: FOOTSWITCHES There are two footswitches on the STINGRAY. 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.
