Electro-Harmonix Satisfaction Plus User manual

Modernized Vintage Fuzz

POWER SUPPY REQUIREMENTS:

Voltage: 9VDC Current: 5mA Polarity: Center-Negative Battery: 9V

This device may be powered with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200, MOP-D10, or S8 power supply. Use of the

wrong adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may damage the device and void the warranty. Do not exceed

18VDC on the power plug. Power supplies rated for less than 10mA can cause the device to act unreliably.

Operating Instructions

Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack of the Satisfaction Plus and the AMP

Your Satisfaction Plus is now ready to play.

A good starting point is to turn all knobs to their 12’oclock positions,

then set the toggle switch to NORM for the classic bright fuzz-tone, or

to FAT for a fuller sound.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Satisfaction Plus, an

expanded take on the classic fuzz sounds of the 1960s. Still in a

compact chassis, the Satisfaction Plus adds a Bias control for

wilder tones, a Fat switch for a broader sound, and a versatile

tone knob for more sonic sculpting.

Controls and Connections

1. ATTACK Knob Controls the amount of input gain and distortion. As

you turn this knob clockwise, the Satisfaction Plus ranges from mild

drive to saturated fuzz.

2. BIAS Knob Controls the signal bias going into the rst transistor

stage of the Satisfaction Plus. The least compressed and open sound

is with BIAS set to noon, which matches the original Satisfaction pedal.

Turn the knob counterclockwise for choked or gated fuzz, turn it

clockwise for a hollowed-out sound.

3. TONE Knob Controls an active tilt-shift type EQ to further shape

the fuzz tone. When the TONE knob is at noon the EQ is at, match-

ing the original Satisfaction pedal. Turn the TONE knob counter-

clockwise for more lows and less highs. Turn it clockwise for more

highs and rolled back lows.

4. VOL Knob Sets the output level of the Satisfaction Plus.

5. FAT/NORM switch In the NORM position, the Satisfaction Plus has the

same overall circuitry as the original Satisfaction pedal. Push the switch

to FAT for a bigger, bassier fuzz sound that still cuts through a mix.

6. FOOTSWITCH and STATUS LED The footswitch engages or bypasses

the effect. The status LED lights when the effect is engaged. The LED

is off in bypass mode. The Satisfaction Plus employs True Bypass.

7. INPUT Jack Audio input to the Satisfaction Plus.

8. AMP Jack Audio output from the Satisfaction Plus.

9. 9V Power Jack An optional 9VDC, center-negative power supply can

be connected to the power jack to provide power without a battery.

The Satisfaction Plus requires 5mA at 9VDC on a center-negative

plug. Do not exceed 18VDC at the power jack.

When using a 9V battery, plugging into the INPUT jack activates power.

The input cable should be removed when the unit is not in use to avoid

running down the battery.

To change the 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the

bottom of the pedal. Once the screws are removed, you can take off

the bottom plate and change the battery. Please do not touch the

circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a

component.
