Otto Filter Pilot's Handbook

Output your ToneCore to your amplifier, or route it through another pedal.

Connect your guitar using a standard cable.

You can, of course, feed your ToneCore with another effect pedal instead of a guitar.

Greetings and salutations! Thank you for inviting the Line 6 Otto Filter auto wah pedal into your life.

Effect On-Off / Power Indicator Light

The Power Indicator Light on your ToneCore uses two colors to indicate the pedal's state:

Light not lit - Effect is bypassed (off)
GREEN - Effect is engaged (on)
- RED (flashing) - Batteries should be replaced
This low power indication will override all other states

Connections and Power Indicator Light

In Jack

Here's where it all begins. Use a standard guitar cable to connect your guitar, or the output of another effect to use in combination with your ToneCore. Like most pedals, inserting a plug into this jack will turn on the power to your ToneCore. Disconnect the plug from this jack when the ToneCore is not being used.

Out Jack

Use a standard guitar cable to connect to the input of a guitar amp, or the input of another effect that will feed your amp.

Power Jack

Connect an optional ToneCore-compatible Line 6 power supply like the DC-1, and you'll never need a 9-volt battery again!

Foot Switch

Stomp on this to turn Otto Filter's effect sound processing on and off.

Sens

The Sensitivity knob controls how the filter responds to the dynamics of your playing. Higher sensitivity settings (clockwise rotation) make it easier to get the filter in motion during quiet passages of your playing. At low sensitivity settings (counterclockwise rotation) you must play harder (louder) to get the filter moving.

Range

The Range knob tells the filter how far up or down the frequency spectrum (depending on the MODE switch) you want the filter to travel. Low range settings (counterclockwise rotation) will accentuate lower frequencies; increased range (clockwise rotation) will accentuate higher frequencies.

Peak

The Peak knob controls the filter's shape. Increase Peak (clockwise) to narrow the filter for a more dramatic effect. Decrease Peak to widen the filter, for a milder effect.

Controls

Filter Switch

This control is used to select the pedals filter type used.

BP - Band Pass

Low frequencies and high frequencies are cut, leaving only the frequencies in between. The center frequency of the band moves in response to the dynamics of your playing.

TF-Twin Filter

Two band pass filters moving in opposite directions of each other. One band moves from high to low frequencies, the other from low to high. The center frequency of each band moves in response to the dynamics of your playing.

LP - Low Pass

Low frequencies are passed while high frequencies are cut. The cutoff frequency of the band moves in response to the dynamics of your playing.

Up/Down

Selects if the filter moves Up or Down the frequency spectrum in response to your playing.

Up

The filter travels from low frequencies (when your playing soft) to higher frequencies (when you play louder).

Down

The filter travels from high frequencies (when playing soft) to low frequencies (when playing louder).

Battery Access Instructions

Battery Access Instructions

Power Supply
