PHANTOM POWER jack

This 2.5mm PIN jack offers the ability to power Rocktron MIDI foot controllers from a 7-pin MIDI cable which connects from the Rocktron MIDI foot controller to the MIDI IN jack on the rear panel of the Blue Thunder™. This eliminates the need to find an AC outlet near where the footpedal would be placed during a performance, or the need to run an extension cord out to the footswitch.

Instead of inserting the AC adaptor into the “POWER” jack of the footswitch as you would normally, plug it into the “PHANTOM POWER” jack on the Blue Thunder™. This will power the Rocktron MIDI foot controller through pins 6 and 7 of the MIDI cable connecting the two units. The Rocktron RMM900 7- pin MIDI cable must be used in this operation and is available from your Rocktron dealer.
Blue Thunder Functions and Parameter Descriptions

Each Blue Thunder preset is divided into individual blocks called functions (such as “Mixer”, “Reverb”, etc.). Within each function is a set of controls which allow you to manipulate various aspects of that function. These controls are called parameters. The setting of each of the parameters determines the overall sound of each Blue Thunder preset.

To enter the Function and Parameter controls press the “EDIT” button. The Blue Thunder user interface is set up to allow you to first access each function (via the FUNCTION SELECT control), then the list of available parameters for the selected function (via the PARAMETER SELECT control) and, finally, the adjustable value for each parameter (via the PARAMETER ADJUST control).

Selecting ACTIVE will route the signal through the hi pass filter section (controlled by the HP CUT parameter). Selecting OFF will bypass the HP CUT parameter (although the HP CUT parameter will be displayed when adjusting the PARAMETER SELECT control, it will be bypassed).

The SETUP parameter allows you to select if the Blue Thunder will act as a preamp with effects or just as effects processor. If you would like to use the Blue Thunder as a preamp, select PREAMP. In this setup the direct signal is passed through the digital HUSH circuitry and effects section. In this setup you should have your Blue Thunder connected to a power amplifier
