4. Priežiūra

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Keeley Bubble Tron, observe the following maintenance guidelines:

  • Valymas: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
  • Saugykla: Pedalą laikykite vėsioje, sausoje vietoje, toliau nuo tiesioginių saulės spindulių ir ekstremalių temperatūrų. Jei ilgesnį laiką nenaudojate, atjunkite maitinimo šaltinį.
  • Maitinimas: Always use a regulated 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity and sufficient current (65mA+). Incorrect power supplies can cause damage and void the warranty.
  • Jungtys: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Avoid excessive force when plugging or unplugging cables.

    • Ensure your instrument and ampkeltuvai veikia tinkamai.
    • Bypass the pedal to confirm the issue is with the pedal itself.
  • Nepageidaujamas triukšmas / ūžesys:
    • Naudokite aukštos kokybės, izoliuotą maitinimo šaltinį.
    • Patikrinkite, ar nėra pažeistų kabelių.
    • Užtikrinkite tinkamą įžeminimą ampkeltuvas ir kita įranga.
