Captain Coconut 2 Owner's Manual

Captain Coconut 2 has no shortage of knobs, switches and jacks. Here is a

run down of what each one does. For more information, keep reading this

manual. Everything is covered in depth.

1. 9VAC INPUT - Captain coconut requires a supply voltage of 9 Volts AC -

not to be confused with 9 Volts DC (which is what you get from a 9 Volt bat-

tery). Great care has been taken to design a power supply circuit that ade-

quately satisfies Captain Coconut's unique power requirements without creat-

ing audible hum. For starters, the Octave section requires a super-clean neg-

ative 9 VDC supply, in the case of the FuzzCard, the Fuzz circuit could

require either +9 VDC or -9 VDC. The Provibe runs on +15 VDC, which

offers additional headroom over units that run on a lower voltage. Lastly, the

signal switching relays run on +12VDC, drawing a healthy amount of cur-

rent. All voltages are heavily filtered and regulated for consistent perform-

ance. The 9 Volt, AC adapter included with Captain Coconut 2 is rated for 1

Amp and uses a 2.5mm barrel connector. It can be replaced by Mouser Part

#412-209053.

2. SPEED JACK - This 1/4" TRS jack is used to bring the speed connections

out to an external potentiometer, such as one mounted in a rocker pedal. A

standard passive expression pedal, or mono volume pedal can be used for

controlling the speed. Wiring is as follows: TIP = Pot wiper, RING = Top of

pot, Sleeve = Bottom of pot (ground). The ideal value for the pot is 100K,

linear taper, however many other values and tapers will work fine with this

circuit. When the speed is controlled externally, the SPEED pot on CC2 acts

as a maximum speed control, limiting its fastest speed.

3. PROVIBE OUT - Provibe output appears here. When using the effects in

their default order, use this jack to make the connection to your amp (or

other effects.)

4. PROVIBE IN - Input to the Provibe section. Unless something else is

patched in, the output of the FuzzFoot automatically flows to the input of the

Provibe, through this jack.

5. FUZZFOOT OUT - FuzzFoot output appears here. If nothing is patched to

this jack, the signal flows to the Provibe.

6. FUZZFOOT IN - Input to the FuzzFoot section. Unless something else is

patched in, the output of the Octave flows to the input of the FuzzFoot.
