Olivera support

As with a traditional oil can echo, Olivera does not feature tap tempo. Oil can echos are meant to be unpredictable, and tap tempo was omitted by design to keep Olivera feeling and sounding as authentic as possible.

The Dry Signal can be set in one of three different modes.

• Digital Mode uses the converted dry signal and allows the MIX knob to dial out the dry signal when turned past the 3 o’clock position.

• Analog Mode keeps the dry signal in analog.*

• Kill Dry Mode mutes the analog dry path signal, allowing the MIX knob to strictly control the “wet” effect output level. This is often preferable if using Olivera within an amp’s parallel effects loop or a mixer’s aux or effects send.

To change the DRY SIGNAL mode:

• Press and hold the footswitch for at least 2 seconds while powering up Olivera. Once the LED flashes RED, release the footswitch.
• Turn the INTENSITY (DRY SIGNAL) knob to select one of the three Dry Signal options. The LED will change color to indicate the current status as you turn the knob.
  • Digital Mode: GREEN (default, minimum knob position)
  • Analog Mode: RED (50% knob position)
  • Kill Dry Mode: BLUE (maximum knob position)
• Press the footswitch to store the Dry Signal setting and begin using Olivera.

A TRS expression pedal can be used to remotely control any of Olivera’s knobs. By default, Olivera is configured so that an expression pedal controls the MIX knob.

To configure Olivera for expression control, press and hold the footswitch for at least 2 seconds while powering up Olivera. Once the LED flashes RED, release the footswitch. Then, turn the MIX knob counter-clockwise until the LED turns GREEN. Press the footswitch to store the EXP port assignment to EXPRESSION mode.

To change the knobs assigned to the expression pedal:

• Press and hold the footswitch for at least 3 seconds, until the LED blinks GREEN.
• Rock your expression pedal to the HEEL position. The GREEN LED will stop blinking and remain lit.
• Set the knob(s) you would like to control to the desired settings for the HEEL position of the expression pedal.
• Rock the expression pedal to the TOE position. The LED will turn RED.
• Set the knob(s) you would like to control to the desired settings for the TOE position of the expression pedal.
• Press and release the Olivera footswitch to exit and store your expression pedal setup.

Keep in mind that expression pedal assignment is saved per-preset, and not globally.

To begin using Olivera with an external MIDI device, connect the MIDI out jack from a pedal, controller, or computer interface to the EXP/MIDI jack on Olivera. The following devices can be used to send MIDI messages to Olivera:

• Strymon MIDI EXP cable
• Strymon Conduit MIDI Hub or a compatible 5-pin MIDI to 1⁄4” TRS MIDI Interface
• Connect Olivera via USB to a USB host device (such as a computer) that sends MIDI

Turn the MIX (EXP/MIDI JACK) knob to select the function of the rear panel’s EXP/MIDI jack. The LED will change color to indicate the current status as you turn the knob.

MIDI Mode: BLUE – Allows for the selection of three presets using a Strymon MultiSwitch Plus. Full MIDI functionality is available by sending MIDI Program Change messages via 1/4” TRS MIDI connection using a Strymon Conduit or MIDI EXP cable. Up to 300 presets are available via MIDI.

Set the MIDI channel

Turn the TIME (MIDI CHANNEL) knob to set the MIDI communication channel. The LED indicates status. Your knob selections are as follows:

• Channel 4-16: BLUE (maximum) – set by next received MIDI Program Change message, requires 1⁄4″ MIDI connection or USB-C connection.

Once the LED turns BLUE, it will blink until the pedal receives a MIDI Program Change message. Once a message is received, the pedal will be set to the MIDI channel that carried the message and exits the Power Up Mode to allow you to begin using Olivera.

Press the footswitch to exit and store your MIDI Channel setting and begin using Olivera.

Set MIDI output mode

Press and hold the footswitch for at least 2 seconds while powering up Olivera. Once the LED flashes, release the footswitch.
