Neunaber SERAPHIM SHIMMER v2 User manual

SERAPHIM SHIMMER v2
USER GUIDE

Thank you for purchasing our product. We really mean it. We hope to earn your trust by delivering a quality
product that inspires you to make great music.
Neunaber products are designed and manufactured in Orange, California USA.
CONNECTIONS
We recommend that this pedal be placed at the end of the signal chain, before or after another reverb. Also,
shimmer will have more sibilance if placed after a speaker simulator rather than before. If you are using the
overdrive channel of your amplifier, this eect should be placed in the eects loop for best results.
POWER
The power jack accepts a standard (5.5 mm OD x 2.1 mm ID) center-negative pedal power adapter (not
included). The power adapter must be between 9 V and 12 V and capable of supplying 100 mA or more.
INPUT
The input jack (top right) accepts input directly from your instrument, amplifier eects loop output, or other
eect pedals via a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) phone connector.
OUTPUT
The output jack (top left) supplies output to another eect pedal, an amplifier, or eects loop return via a
standard 1/4” (6.35 mm) phone connector. The buered output is capable of driving long cables. If plugging
into the input of an amp, you should use the low impedance (Lo-Z) input if available.
FOOTSWITCH
The Engage switch selects between engaged and bypassed. The LED lights when the eect is active.
Bypassing the eect does not lower power consumption, because it does not turn o power to the pedal.
Press and hold the footswitch for 1 second to switch between reverb only and reverb with shimmer. Release
when the LED illuminates red.

PRIMARY CONTROLS
MIX
The Mix knob controls the mix between the dry signal and reverb:
• Full counter-clockwise is 100% dry
• Full clockwise is 100% eect
• Approximately 3 o’clock is an even mix: half dry/half wet
DEPTH
The Depth knob controls the length of the reverb tail; or in other words, the size of the acoustic space.
SHIMMER
The Shimmer knob controls the amount of shimmer in the eect. With this knob fully counter-clockwise, there
is no shimmer: the eect is reverb only. The Shimmer knob is inactive in reverb-only mode.
ALTERNATE CONTROLS
These controls are accessed by holding down the Engage footswitch while turning the knob.
EFFECT
The eect control switches between the popular original shimmer algorithm and the new W3T shimmer
algorithm (which is the same as the algorithm on the Immerse Mk II).

Original blue yellow counter-clockwise
New, with W3T green white clockwise
TRAILS
The bypassed signal may be selected to have trails or not. When Trails is on, the eect signal trails o
naturally after the pedal is bypassed. When o, the eect cuts o immediately when the pedal is bypassed.
The LED will momentarily change color to indicate which bypass mode is selected.
