Lupinus High Definition Manual

This is the manual page for Leqtique EVR - Lupinus High Definition (aka. LHD).

When viewed from the top of the pedal, the right side is the input (unplugging this will turn off the power/battery operation), the left side is the output, the bottom right side is the DC power supply (9V, center negative), and the bottom top of the pedal is the footswitch (true bypass) for turning the effect on/off.

Controls are (Left to Right) Volume, Definition, Gain, and Mid-Cut (mini).

Based on the Leqtique EVR - CLHD , it inherits features such as an internal 36V boosted drive and the use of the highest quality capacitors from the Danish company Duelund, but the circuitry has been significantly modified to create the LHD, a "chord box" that produces a pleasant sound for chords and backing playing in any type of music. The controls are Volume, Gain, Definition, and Middle-Cut, and if you think of Definition as Treble-Cut (for those familiar with CLHD), you can also think of it as an extremely transparent type that allows you to touch the middle.

The "Vol" and "Gain" controls are set in the same range as a typical transparent amplifier. At 0%, "Gain" produces an enhanced clean tone with almost no distortion. The "Definition" control is a slightly unusual one, similar to the CLHD. Turning it clockwise blurs the contours without reducing the resolution of the sound. It produces a sense of compression, rounding of the high end, smoothness, and fatness of the tone. Since the ultimate goal of this control is to simultaneously adjust all factors musically and intuitively, it's easier to understand if you think of it as a general tone control with a high-cut effect , even though it's a simplified version of its actual effect. The small "Mid-Cut" knob cuts a wide range of the midrange, which is perceived as being emphasized audibly when "Definition" is turned clockwise. It's extremely useful for clearing up the midrange, which can feel heavy when cutting or chord playing.

There is also a vertically positioned "Low" control inside, which is set to the top position when shipped, producing a very light low end similar to a typical TS. Depending on the environment in which you will be using it, or the image you are getting when turning up the "Bass" control of a modern modified TS type or transparent tone with a thicker low end, turn this "Low" toward you to increase the low end. At its maximum setting, the low end is returned to the same level as a clean tone.

Input Voltage: 9V (10-18V cannot be used)

Current Consumption: 39 (mA) (DC power supply is recommended as batteries consume too much current)
