Thankyou forpurchasing the AtomicIsolated Power
Supply model AT-1A.The AT-1Aisspecially
designed tomeetthe demanding power
requirementsofourtube effectspedals.Properly
designed tube pedalsrequiremuchmorepower
than solid-stateeffectsbecauseofthe tube heaters
and high voltage operation.Togetan idea,takea
lookatthe sizeofthe transformers inside atypical
vintage tube amp.The Atomicgeneratesenough
ampstopowerup to4ofourminiaturetriode tube
pedalswithout compromising tone quality.
Thankyou fortrusting Effectrode tobe youreffects
pedal company.Wewishyou manyyears of musical
enjoyment fromthisveryspecial, hand-built unit.

Notes
When installing the Atomic,ensureadequate
ventilation around the enclosureand do notobscure
the ventilation holes. Effectrode miniaturetube pedals
typicallydraw justover1amp(1000mA) eachwhen
theyhavewarmed up and thisunitwill alsogetwarm
when poweringseveral pedals.Onpowerup,the
LEDson the frontpanel will flashforafew seconds
while the tube heaters warm up.Currentdraw is
higherfortube pedalsduring initial start-up conditions,
asthe heaterfilamentresistanceislowerwhen they
arecold.As the filamentwarms up,the resistance
increasesand the tube heaters begin toglow orange.
It typicallytakesafew secondsorthistohappen and
afurtherfew secondsisrequired forthe heaterto
begin warming the cathode tothe required
temperature.
