█ Input

The single jack input will accept any 6.35mm (1/4") jack plug.

█ Pad control knob

The Vidur is designed to be a clean sounding preamp. It is unlikely the input will run out of
headroom. However, other audible, (perhaps preferred) sound colorations might occur when
presenting the input with larger signal levels, like slight compression. By setting the pad
control knob to any other value than 0dB , the signal level presented to the first stage of the
preamp can be reduced to taste. This affects all
outputs (tuner, fx loop, line out, main outputs).
● 0dB
= full signal is amplified
● -3dB
= 1/2 the perceived loudness
● -6dB
= 1/2 of the original signal level
● -12dB = 1/4 of the original signal level

█ Selectable sound signatures

The Vidur comes with an optional passive filter network in the first stage of the preamp, also
known as the ​ ' selectable sound signature' ​ . This gives you even more tonal possibilities to
play with. Depending on taste, setting, or the bass being used, the filter can be enabled or
disabled on the fly (see below).
Note: As this is a passive filter, enabling it will decrease the perceived audio volume slightly.
Note: The 'selectable sound signature' is completely independent of the EQ state or setting.

█ Mute button

The mute button on the Vidur has two functions:
1. Pressing and releasing the mute button will toggle a true bypass, muting/ unmuting
the signal. The tuner output (back) will always remain active. All other outputs will be
silenced. This button is also available on the optional footswitch.
● red:
● green: preamp unmuted
2. Pressing and holding the mute button for two seconds will activate the sound
signature selection. The EQ LED will start to blink with the current state of the
selectable sound signature. Pressing the EQ button while still holding the mute
button toggles between the two sound signatures. Release the mute button to set the
preferred sound signature. The EQ LED will blink as follows:
● red blinking:
● green blinking: filter enabled
preamp muted
filter disabled
