Synamodec - Magnetar Black Distortion Synth

Overview

The Synamodec - Magnetar is a unique synthesizer that combines distortion and fuzz effects in series,

modulated by an LFO and followed by a delay unit. This manual will guide you through the

controls and functions of the MAGNETAR to help you achieve the desired sound.

Controls

Distortion Module

1. **In**: Controls the input level to the distortion.

2. **Dist 1**: Sets the level of distortion.

3. **Hue**: Adjusts the hue of the distortion (the associated switch changes the hue).

4. **Tone**: Equalization control for the distortion.Input and LFO Modulation

1. **In**: Jack for input signal.

2. **Mod**: LFO frequency control (modulates the delay parameter GIG).

3. **Level**: LFO level control (modulates the delay parameter GIG).

Power Supply

- **DC Jack**: Connect a 28V DC power supply.

Feedback Control

- **Feedback**: Controls the feedback level from the distortion module.

Output

- **Out**: Output jack.

- **NXPTD**: Feedback delay control.

- **D/W**: Delay effect level.

- **On/Off Switch**: Activates or deactivates the unit.

- **BP**: Bypass switch for the unit.

Fuzz Module

1. **Level**: Controls the input level (associated with the input of the distortion).

2. **Gain**: Adjusts the gain of the fuzz.

3. **Dist 2**: Sets the level of fuzz distortion.

4. **Fog**: Changes the hue of the fuzz.

Signal Path

The signal flows through the MAGNETAR in the following sequence:

```

IN + DISTORTION + FUZZ + DELAY + OUT

EQ + FB LFO

```Usage Tips

The MAGNETAR is very sensitive to input levels. Start with levels around 1Vpp (Volts peak-

to-peak). The level controls not only adjust the volume but also affect the response and

behavior of the distortion and fuzz.

Using the feedback control can make the MAGNETAR produce high-pitched sounds similar

to a guitar feedbacking through an amplifier.

Powering the Unit

- Connect a 28V DC power supply to the DC jack.

- Ensure the power supply meets the required specifications to avoid damage to the unit.

Safety and Maintenance

- Avoid exposing the MAGNETAR to extreme temperatures or moisture.

- Disconnect the power supply when the unit is not in use.

- Regularly check cables and connections for any signs of wear or damage.
