Frequently Asked Questions - Classic Flanger Harley Benton

How do I power the Classic Flanger?

You can power the pedal using a 9 V battery (6F22) or a 9 V DC power adapter with an inner contact negative polarity. When using an adapter, the battery is automatically disconnected.

How do I replace the battery?

Disconnect any power adapter. Turn the pedal over, press the battery compartment cover and slide it downward. Remove the cover, replace the 9 V battery observing polarity, then reattach the cover until it locks.

What does the TRUE BYPASS footswitch do?

The footswitch enables or disables the flanger effect. When bypassed, the signal passes through unaffected (true bypass).

What do the controls on the pedal do?

REGEN adjusts regeneration feedback, DELAY TIME sets delay (0.9-6.4 ms), WIDTH controls sound width, and SPEED adjusts modulation speed (0.4-8 Hz).

How do I connect the pedal to my setup?

Use a 1/4" instrument cable to connect your instrument to the IN jack. Connect the OUT jack to your amplifier or another pedal. Ensure all connections are made with the device off.

Why does the LED stay dim or turn off?

A dim or off LED when the effect is engaged indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as soon as possible.

Can I use this pedal with a phantom power supply?

No, the pedal requires 9 V DC. Phantom power (48 V) is not supported and may damage the device. Use only the specified power supply.

What should I do if the pedal does not work?

Check battery/power connections, ensure instrument cable is properly plugged into IN, and verify the footswitch is engaged. If it still fails, do not disassemble; contact support.

How do I clean the pedal?

Use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use solvents like alcohol. Avoid moisture and direct sunlight.

Is the pedal environmentally friendly?

The packaging is made from recyclable materials. Batteries and the device itself must be disposed of according to local waste regulations, not with household waste.
