Compact pedal-interface utility module

4 HP Eurorack module

S.B.G is a compact Eurorack utility for interfacing guitar effects pedals, with send attenuation, return amplification, and dry/wet mixing.

Features

Attenuates the modular send signal for external effects.
Amplifies the returned signal to modular level, with approximately 3 dB to 34 dB of gain.
Indicates clipping when the returned signal is over-amplified.
Manually crossfades between the original dry source and returned wet signal.
Conditions expression CV by limiting its indicated voltage and passing only its positive portion.
Remember: use the supplied floating-ring cable for expression connections, choose the correct maximum voltage for the pedal, and use only pedals whose cable tip is the input rather than a reference-voltage connection.

Return Gain— Amplifies the external effect return to modular level; reduce it if the clip indicator lights.
Send Level— Attenuates the modular input signal before it is sent to an external effects pedal; turn counter-clockwise to reduce the outgoing level.
Expression Input— Modulation/CV input to be conditioned for a pedal expression input.
Dry/Wet Mix— Crossfades between the original dry input and the amplified wet return signal.
3V Expression Output— Positive-only expression CV output limited to 3 V for compatible pedal expression inputs.
5V Expression Output— Positive-only expression CV output limited to 5 V for compatible pedal expression inputs.
Mix Output— Final audio output, mixing the original dry input with the amplified return signal.
Send Output— Attenuated audio output for feeding an external effects pedal input.
Dry Input— Modular-level dry audio input; this unattenuated signal is also used as the dry source for the final mix.
Return Input— Audio input from the external effects pedal output, amplified back toward modular level.
Return Clip Indicator— Lights red when the amplified return signal is clipping.
