Then, power it up using an alkaline battery or an AC adaptor. When you're ready to start recording, step on the pedal switch. You'll see the LOOP indicator light up. To stop recording, step on the pedal again. You can also use the STOP/UNDO jack for additional control. The LEVEL knob allows you to adjust the input volume. When using the battery, keep in mind that it will last about 3 hours under continuous use. If you want longer use, it's a good idea to get the AC adaptor. After use, store the pedal in a dry and cool place. Clean it gently with a soft cloth to keep it in good condition. Read the owner's manual for more detailed information and safety notes.
