Pedal Diagram
1. Power Socket –plug a standard, 2.1mm centre
negative 9v power jack in here. Current draw is less
than 100mA. Anything that will power a Boss pedal
will work here. Do not use a power supply over 9v, or
a centre positive power supply. Use an isolated
power supply to preserve tonal purity.
2. Input –plug your guitar or previous effect pedal in
here.

3. Effects Loop Send –if using effects in the Holy Era’s
effects loop, plug the input of the first pedal in the
loop here.
4. Tap Tempo Footswitch –override the Time control
by tapping the desired tempo with this soft touch
footswitch.
5. Tempo LED –this will blink to display the current
delay time rate, set by either tapping the Tap Tempo
Footswitch or by using the Time control.
6. Modulation –turn this control clockwise to introduce
a tape-like modulation effect to the repeats. Goes
from no modulation at 0 to wobbly madness at 11.
7. Tap Ratio –this switch sets the tempo rate.
8. Repeats –turn this control clockwise to add more
repeats. Goes from a single repeat at 0 to manic self-
oscillation at 11.
9. Effects Loop Blend –control how much the repeats
are affected by the effects loop here (0 = fully
affected, 11 = fully unaffected). If not using the
effects loop, keep this control at 11.

10. Mix –turn this control clockwise to increase how
loud the repeats are. Goes from nothing at all at 0 to
slightly louder than unity at 11.
11. Time –controls the delay time. Goes from 35ms at 0
to 950ms at 11. This control can be overridden with
the tap tempo footswitch. Turning this control then
overrides the tapped tempo.
12. Tap In / Out –connect a Normally Open Momentary
footswitch to remotely control the tempo. This
connection is linked to the Tap Tempo Footswitch,
and sends a Normally Open Momentary signal when
the footswitch is tapped. This allows you to sync
other compatible pedals with the Holy Era.
13. Effects Loop Return - if using effects in the Holy Era’s
effects loop, plug the output of the last pedal in the
loop here.
14. Output - plug your amp or next effect pedal in here.
15. Bypass LED –this light will shine when the effect is
active.
16. Bypass Footswitch –turn the Holy Era on and off with
this latching soft touch footswitch.
