<<< Power Requirements >>>
<<< Tech Specs >>>
• Current Draw: 68mA
• This device take a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We
always recommend pedal-specic, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple
isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power.
Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specic power supplies do not lter
dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
• Input Impedance: 500K Ohm • Output Impedance: <1K Ohm
<<< Warranty >>>
This device has a limited lifetime warranty. If it breaks, we will x it. Should you encounter any
issues, please email [e-mail].
<<< Flexi-Switching >>>
This device features Flexi-Switch™ Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style
allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching-style switching.
• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap
again to bypass.
• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect.
Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.
Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.

<<< Controls >>>
Range: Adjusts the sensitivity of the
envelope in Up and Down mode. In
Sample and Hold m o d e, t h i s c on t ro ls
the speed.
Mode Toggle: This toggles between
Upward Sweep, Downward Sweep
or Sample and Hold.
Resonance: This is the lter feedback
control, it adds more body and ring to the
lter voice.
Filter: This crossfades between high
pass and low pass lters and allows you
to get everything in between. High pass
is fully counterclockwise, low pass is full
clockwise and center is band pass. This
is much more useful than a simple switch
because it allows you to blend the lters
for different sounds!

Welcome to your brand new Spatial Delivery™! The Spatial Delivery is an oddball, a voltage
controlled envelope lter that allows you to step outside the universe of funk while reinforcing
your secret love affair with auto-wah. It has 3 modes: Up Sweep, Down Sweep and Sample
and Hold. With Range (1), Resonance (3) and Filter (4) controls you can get super emphasized
lter sweeps in the Up and Down modes. The Range (1), in combination with pick attack,
controls the sensitivity and reaction time of the envelope and thus the width of the frequency
sweep. The higher the Range and harder the attack equals a faster reaction time and higher
frequency sweep and vice versa. Reign in the controls a bit, add your favorite overdrive/fuzz
after the Spatial Delivery and you’ve got a real nice resonant, cut-through-the-mix lead tone.
Crank the controls back up and you’re a neo-bedroom rock god. In the Sample and Hold mode
the lter is controlled by random voltage and the Range controls the speed. Add a sub octave
into the mix (before or after) and you’ve just created a deep fried space droid computer freak-out.
The lter can be cross faded between high pass (counterclockwise), band pass (center) and low
pass (clockwise) for a wide variety of voices. The Resonance control goes from zero to the brink
of oscillation and adds more body and ring to the lter voice. We recommend placing the Spatial
Delivery rst in your signal chain. However, due to its envelope control, experimenting with
pairing and signal chain placement can take the potential of the Spatial Delivery even further.
Each Spatial Delivery is hand made bit by damn bit in silver studded Akron Ohio.
