Capturing a Guitar Profile

Run the pedal in capturing mode; press the IR footswitch and hold, plug in the power cable.

You need to use a condenser microphone for better result. Connect the acoustic guitar to the Optima Air's input, place the microphone and connect to a microphone to a microphone preamp. And connect the microphone preamp's output to the Optima Air's Return (Please check the picture)

Make sure everything's connected, and you are all set to capture.

You can see the input level and the return level on the pedal screen, make sure the levels are not reaching to the MAX (Peak) level, or too low to capture it. Usually, 60% to 80% is the best level for capturing.

You can press the IR footswitch when you are ready. It will countdown from 3 to 1 then you could start to play guitar to send the audio signal to Optima Air to capture and process. Just play as clean as you can, and use finger position or chords you are playing most of the time. Capturing record will take 10 seconds, you can also see it on the screen, the RED AMP LED will start blinking when the recording is done. You can press the AMP footswitch to save, or you can press the IR button to restart the capturing.

My pup loves her Kong
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My little pup loves her Kong! She’s about 14 pounds so I recommend any dog with that size to get the small size. The quality is great. Extremely durable, but still workable enough for her to get in and find all the goodness!

Stuff it with treats, peanut butter, or kibble, and it turns into a solid boredom‑buster. Even after plenty of chewing and tossing around, it holds up without tearing or cracking. ⭐ What Makes It Great Extremely durable — perfect for strong chewers Great for mental stimulation when stuffed with treats Easy to clean compared to other stuffable toys Bounces unpredictably, which keeps dogs engaged Long‑lasting value since it doesn’t wear out quickly ⭐ Bottom Line A classic for a reason. If you want a toy that keeps your dog entertained, withstands heavy chewing, and works as a treat puzzle, the KONG Classic is a dependable choice that actually delivers.

Great for freezing apple sauce, peanut butter, etc for a treat.
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Our dog has extreme separation anxiety. When ever he even thinks we are going to leave he barks and jumps in our face. He is a mini Aussie, so he can jump high. I have researched ways to help him not freak out so much when we leave. I read that giving him something like this with some yummy frozen in it like peanut butter, apple sauce, wet food, etc. so he relates us leaving to him getting a yummy treat. He still freaks out when we leave, but not as bad because he wants the kong but also wants to remind us he doesn’t approve of us leaving, lol. It’s Kong, so obviously very high quality. It’s pretty heavy. I wish there was an in between size, this is a little too big and the smaller size isn’t big enough. So his tongue can’t quite reach the end inside. He also plays with it when it’s not filled with treats. We have a few so one can be in the freezer while he has one. Thank goodness he is a dog that doesn’t destroy stuff when we are gone, just yells at us when we are leaving. After we are gone he just pouts. But this gives him something to do and keeps him busy. It takes him quite a while to finish what’s inside.
