Rocktron MicroHUSH - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
Got hiss? Get HUSH! The MicroHUSH is Rocktron’s world famous noise reduc-
tion in a micro chassis that will take up less space on your pedalboard. The Micro-
HUSH will wipe out hiss, unwanted feedback and pickup buzz by providing up to
65dB of signal cleanup, while your music signal integrity remains unaffected. In
other words, get rid of the noise without altering your tone! Guitar Player Maga-
zine wrote that a “HUSH pedal will work for all guitar-related noise problems: it’s
perfect” and “its potent noise-killing abilities will be fully appreciated.”
Rocktron’s MicroHUSH pedals are built into a compact yet a rugged chassis,
minimizing the footprint it has on your pedal board. The MicroHUSH is a TRUE
BYPASS pedal: when you turn it off…it is out of your signal path!
Plug the MicroHUSH in AFTER distortion boxes, wahs, noisy vintage effects,
or other noisy units and turn the THRESHOLD control knob until the noise goes
away. It’s that easy! Unlike noise “gates” that chop off the end of your notes, or
ruin your sustain, the MicroHUSH (and other Rocktron HUSH products) are actu-
ally a form of single-ended noise reduction that tracks your signal all the way and
pushes the noise floor down below the point where your ear can hear the noise.
The MicroHUSH will not alter your sustain or chop the end of your notes. Simply
use the Threshold knob to smooth out your signal while saying goodbye to noise
forever!
The MicroHUSH does not eliminate 60 cycle ground loop hum. If you are expe-
riencing 60 cycle ground loop hum then we recommend the Rocktron Buzz Kill
Audio Isolation transformer (see www.rocktron.com for more information on the
Buzz Kill.)
