My answers to your questions.


All about the pedal itself

  • Where do I find the manual?

    Just here!
  • What’s new in the 2024 Version of THE PILL?

    -Added trigger thru output jack

    -Added Footswitch/CV/GATE/TRIGGER trigger input

    -Added capacitive touch sensors to manually fire triggers with your fingertip. When there's nothing plugged into the audio trigger input, the trigger sensitivity knob (which you then don't need) transforms into a touch sensor. Just tap on it with your fingertip to manually fire triggers. When there's something plugged into the trigger input, just tap on both the middle and right potentiometer, to create the same effect.

    A standard Boss-Type 9-12V DC, center-negative plug.

    This polarity is standard for all guitar pedals, but not for other electronic gear.
  • Can I use a footswitch to manually trigger The Pill?

    Yes! From all 2024 versions on.

    You must use a TRS cable. The footswitch should be shorting the Sleeve with the Tip.
