Description

The Cracker Pedal by Cusack Music

The Cusack Music Pedal Cracker is a unique effects interface designed to let musicians with an XLR microphone output run standard stompbox pedals in their signal chain. It essentially acts as a buffered mic preamp with an FX loop, letting singers, horn players, or any mic’d instrument send their signal through guitar‑style pedals and then back out via XLR to a mixer or powered speaker. The unit features separate wet and dry controls, a gain knob, and a three‑way toggle switch that lets you choose between trails, normal, and pre‑send loop modes for creative performance control. With recessed ground‑lift and phantom power switches and a rugged pedal format, it’s well‑suited for both live and studio applications.

Specs:

• Type: Mic preamp with effects loop pedal
• Inputs/Outputs: XLR mic input and XLR output; ¼″ send and return jacks for FX loop
• Controls: Gain, Wet signal level, Dry signal level
• Loop Mode Switch: 3‑way toggle for trails, normal, and pre‑send modes
• Footswitch: Bypass/momentary control of effects loop
• Ground & Phantom: Recessed ground‑lift and 48 V phantom switches
• Power: 9 V DC, center‑negative (power supply recommended; not a switching supply)
• Current Draw: ~54 mA
• Dimensions: approx. 4.7″ (L) × 3.7″ (W) × 1.4″ (H)
