CONNECTING THE MO' CONTROL 2 TO THE MINI-MO’ PREAMP
As mentioned in the "Mini-Mo’ Preamp - Getting Started" section of this manual, it's best to turn your
Mini-Mo’ Preamp power off before connecting your Mo' Control 2 Footswitch to it. Why? The Mo' Control
2 is powered by the Mini-Mo’ (you'll notice the lack of an AC receptacle on the Mo' Control 2). Also,
Mini-Mo’ and Mo' Control 2 are "twins" when the units are connected––one controls the other, and vice
versa. The effects even have the same color LED's. So if you connect the Mini-Mo’ to the Mo' Control 2
while the Mini-Mo’ is on, most likely all of the individual effects will turn on and the LED's on both units
will illuminate. No harm will come to either unit, but if your settings on the Mini-Mo’ are boosted––like,
say, the Overdrive––and the system is connected to live power amps and speaker cabinets, you may
hear a noise you weren't expecting.
Now that your Mini-Mo’ is off, locate the HD15 cable (the one that looks like a computer monitor cable)
and connect it from the "Foot Switch" HD15 jack on the rear of the Mini-Mo’ to the similar HD15 jack
on the rear of the Mo' Control 2. This jack has a text box above it that reads "To Mini-Mo’ Footswitch
Jack Only."
That's it. Now you're fully connected, and you can switch on the Mini-Mo’ in accordance with the rest of
the instructions in the "Mini-Mo’ Preamp - Getting Started" section of this manual.
We can hear you thinking: "What happens if I lose this cables?" The cable is a standard "monitor
extension cable" and is easily replaceable at most computer supply stores. Your Mo' Control 2 comes
with a 25-foot versions of this cable in black, and you can always contact the factory for replacement if
you wish.
Finally, on the rear of the Mo' Control 2, locate the switch to the far right marked "Preset Group Mode"
and set the switch to "Program" (to the right). Now we're ready to play.
OPERATING THE MO’ CONTROL 2
INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS
We need to establish a term for when the Mo' Control 2 is in its most basic state, which is when no
Preset Groups are activated. Let's call it Solo Mode, since that's the opposite of a group (and Alone
Mode just sounds wrong). When in Solo Mode, operation is simple. Step on any one of the switches for
the individual effects, and three things will happen: a) The effect will activate on the Mini-Mo’ Preamp;
b) The LED will illuminate on the Mo' Control 2; and c) The LED will illuminate on the Mini-Mo’ Preamp.
