■The highly functional V256 vocoder now has a little brother. Its unique feature is the gender bender control, also found on the V256. This allows you to change a male voice to sound more female, or a female voice to sound more male. A variety of effects can be achieved simply by turning the knob.
■An XLR connector for the microphone allows you to select from three levels of microphone gain. It also responds to guitar and keyboard chords. Connection is simple: simply connect your guitar, microphone, and amplifier. Sing into the microphone while playing your instrument. The effect sound is output from Iron Lung only while you're playing your instrument and singing into the microphone. Simple operation allows anyone to enjoy classic effects.

Two Bypass Modes
■ Iron Lung has two bypass modes to choose from, depending on the cable you use.

- Normal Bypass Mode (using a standard cable): Connecting a standard instrument cable to the OUTPUT jack will enter normal bypass mode. When bypassed (effects off), only the sound of the connected instrument will be output. When effects are on, only the effect sound will be output.

- Split Bypass Mode (using a stereo Y cable): Connecting a TRS insert cable (stereo Y cable) to the OUTPUT jack before powering on will enter split bypass mode. When bypassed (effects off), the instrument signal will be output from the OUTPUT TIP jack, and the microphone signal will be output from the RING jack. When effects are on, the effect sound will be output from both the TIP and RING jacks.
