before we
get started... We just want to thank you for purchasing one of our pedals,
your support means an awful lot to us. We love doing what
we do and it wouldn’t be possible without the fantastic people
that help and encourage us to continually push our limits.
We really hope you enjoy making wonderful noise with it!

The Junipero is a multi-modulation pedal, offering 8 unique
takes on classic modulation effects including vibrato,
chorus, flanger, phaser & tremolo and ring modulator.
Inspired by our love of post-punk, newwave and shoegaze;
as well as an interest in classic modulation effects. The
Junipero allows you to drift of into an aqueous wonderland
of wobbliness, combining an intuitive and familiar interface
with easily accessible additional functionality.

deep dive
The sub switch allows you to cycle through 5 different
sub-divisions for the tap tempo. These are indicated by the
5 LEDs above the ‘sub’ label.
1. quarter notes
2. dotted eigths
3. eigth notes
4. triplets
5. sixteenth notes
All parameters (including the patch selector!) can be controlled with
an expression pedal on a per-preset basis, to do this:
1. Plug in an expression pedal to the ‘exp’ input
2. Press and hold the sub footswitch for 3 seconds, the bypass LED
will start flashing red, you have now entered assignment mode
(flashing red means that no parameters have been assigned yet)
3. Rotate the controls you’d like to assign to the expression pedal
for that preset. The flashing bypass LED will change from red to
orange once the first parameter has been assigned to confirm
the change has been recognised
4. To exit assignment mode, press and hold the sub footswitch for
3 seconds. The bypass LED will stop flashing and return to it’s
normal state
5. To clear the expression assignments for a preset, press and hold
the sub footswitch for 5 seconds (from outside of assignment
mode). The flashing bypass LED will flash red to confirm that
the assignments have been cleared.

3. expression pedal capability
Pressing the tap tempo footswitch twice will set the tempo
of the modulation, the tap LED will flash in time with the
tempo you’ve tapped in. It is worth noting that the tap LED
does not flash in sync with the LFO rate but the tempo.

The preset switch allows you to store and cycle through 5 on-board
presets. These are indicated by the 5 LEDs above the ‘preset’ label.
To store a preset, cycle through to the numberyou’d like to assign
the preset to, set the controls to the desired settings and then press
and hold the preset footswitch for 3 seconds. You’ll see the LED jump
forward to the next number and then jump back again. This indicates
the preset has been stored.
Connecting a MIDI controller to the Junipero via the MIDI jack
allows you to access a wide range of additional features including
storing up to 128 presets, externally controlling any parameter and
accepting beat clock information (full MIDI info will be available
on ourwebsite).
The MIDI controller numbers are as follows:
Our MIDI TRS configuration follows the official MIDI Manufacturers
Association’s specification. (This is also the same as Empress Effects,
however it is possible to flip the configuration to be the same as used
by Chase Bliss Audio if needed. Please contact us to discuss this).

True or bufered bypass can be assigned per preset. To change bypass
modes, press and hold the bypass footswitch for 3 seconds. The
bypass LED will flash briefly to confirm the change has taken place.
In true bypass mode, when the pedal is off the bypass LED will be off.
In buffered bypass mode, when the pedal is off the bypass LED will be
red. In both modes the bypass LED will be green when the pedal is on.

# Effect Description Ctrl knob Stereo function
1Chorus/vibrato
with detune
Voiced to replicate the analog chorus pedals
that defined the sounds of the 1980s.
Detune control that creates a more intense
chorus effect (or use it on its own to create a
doubling effect).
Detune signal is moved to the stereo
channel.
2 Multi-voice chorus
A 4 voice chorus that creates a very lush
and intricate chorus sound that borders on
flanger territorywith certain settings.
Mix control forvoice 3 & 4. Chorus voice 3 & 4 is moved to the stereo
channel.
3 Flanger Classic flanger sounds with
wide-ranging rate & depth controls.
Blend between 3 different styles of flanger
(counter-clockwise is through-zero, middle is
chorus/flanger, clockwise is classic flanger)
Signal is split across both channels,
creating a panning effect.
4 Phaser A 10 stage phaserwith wide-ranging rate &
depth controls.
Feedback control for creating a more ‘vocal’
phasing effect.
Stereo channel gets a fully wet signal
(mono channel remains mixed).
5 Tremolo Classic tremolo sounds with
wide-ranging rate & depth controls.
Blend between 2 different type of tremolo
(counter-clockwise is classic sine-wave,
clockwise is more ‘percussive’).
Ctrl knob still controls tremolo type,
but the stereo panning becomes more
obvious as you turn the control up.
6 Harmonic tremolo
A hypnotic effect created by splitting the
high & low frequencies of a signal, flipping
the phase of one and then modulating them
both.
‘Q’ control that allows you to make the effect
more vocal (similar to an auto-wah).
High and low frequencies are split
across the two channels.
7 Vibrato & tremolo
A synchronised vibrato & tremolo, great
for creating faux rotating speaker/organ
effects.
Depth control for the tremolo
(Depth knob controls the vibrato depth).
Tremolo effect is moved to the stereo
channel.
8Ring modulator
with aliaser
An unusual effect that is perfect for creating
atonal madness & glitchy tremolo effects.
Aliaser blend & frequency control
(similar to a bit crusher).
Aliaser is moved to the stereo channel
(ring modulator goes to both)
If you’re running a mono setup, just use the mono
jacks. Do not run a mono setup through the stereo
jacks. You can still run mono in to stereo out.
Bypass mode must be switched to buffered
in order to get stereo bypass.
