Precautions

Avoid using the DG-Stomp in the following locations to prevent possible damage: In direct sunlight or next to heating equipment. In extremely cold or hot locations. Locations exposed to high humidity or excessive dust. Locations subject to strong shocks or vibration. Before making any connections, make sure that the power is switched OFF on the DG-Stomp and any external devices. To protect speakers from possible damage, always set the OUTPUT knob to 0 before switching the power ON/OFF. When connecting a speaker to this unit, make sure that the power is switched OFF first. Do not apply excessive force to the switches, knobs and controls. The DG-Stomp is a precision device. Handle it with care and avoid dropping or jarring it. Operating temperatures will rise during use. Make sure the DG-Stomp is used in a well-ventilated are. For safety, always remove the power adaptor from the AC wall outlet if there is any danger of lightning striking in your area. Keep the DG-Stomp away from neon signs or fluorescent lighting to prevent noise pickup. To prevent damage and possibly electrical shock, never open the case and tamper with the internal circuitry. Never use benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids for cleaning, as these chemicals may cause damage or discoloration to the finish. Always use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

About the Backup Battery

A backup battery (lithium battery) is used to keep internal data (settings) from being lost, even when the power cord is unplugged. Internal data will be lost when battery power is depleted, so it is recommended that data be stored to an external data recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 ( page 24), or keep records of settings in memo form. The average battery life span is about 3 years. When replacement becomes necessary contact the music store where the unit was purchased, or a qualified service representative, to perform the replacement. Do not attempt to replace the backup battery by yourself. Keep the backup battery out of reach of children. E5 appears in the display when the battery becomes depleted. Internal data may be lost. Data may be lost if the unit is improperly handled or if repairs are performed.

q You can connect the DG-Stomp to a guitar amp.
* If the guitar amp is equipped with an effects loop, we recommend that the DG-Stomp be connected directly to the amplifiers EFFECT RETURN jack. If the amplifier is not equipped with an effects loop, connect to its INPUT jack and adjust the tone and volume on the guitar amp as required. * When connecting to monaural input devices, use the DGStomps L/MONO jack.
Only use the supplied AC-10 adaptor to power the unit. Using another adaptor may result in damage, overheating or fire, which can be very dangerous. Make sure to use the recommended AC voltage as indicated on the power adaptor. The supplied power adaptor AC-10 is designed specifically for use with the DGStomp. Never use this adaptor with any other device.
q You can also connect to the input jack on a mixer, etc.

s Connecting Headphones

Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack (standard stereo) on the DG-Stomp to play or practice in private. The volume of the headphones can be controlled with the OUTPUT knob.
* When a pair of headphones is connected, the output from the OUTPUT jack and the DIGITAL OUT jack will still deliver sound output.
s Connecting an Expression (EXP) Pedal
A foot controller (expression pedal), such as the YAMAHA FC-7, connected to the EXP. PEDAL jack on the DG-Stomp allows control of the DG-Stomps individual parameters or use as a wah pedal. (See pages 21, 25)
When using headphones, use at a comfortable volume so as not to cause shock to your hearing.
s Connecting MIDI Devices
Using the MIDI IN/OUT jacks allows the exchange of MIDI information between the DG-Stomp and an external MIDI Device. Data from the DG-Stomp can be stored in MIDI devices such as the YAMAHA MIDI Data Filer MDF3, etc. also, data from the external device can be loaded into the DG-Stomp. Also, a MIDI foot controller, etc. can be used to select patches in the DG-Stomp, control individual parameters, set individual effects, etc. Refer to the [Utility Mode] (page 23) for more information on MIDI functions.

s Digital Output

The DG-Stomp is equipped with a DIGITAL output jack (COAXIAL), that can be connected to the DIGITAL INPUT jack on a digital mixer, MD recorder, etc.
* The output level of the DIGITAL OUT jack cannot be controlled with the OUTPUT knob (fixed).

MD recorder, etc.

Using the DG-Stomp
First, connect a guitar to the DG-Stomp and try some sounds.

s Produce Sound

1. Before connecting, turn off the power on the DGStomp and connect a guitar to the INPUT jack on the rear panel. When connecting a high impedance guitar set the switch to LOW ( ), set the switch to HIGH ( ) when connecting a low impedance guitar. Note: When the patchs number is shown on the display the device is in a condition called the PLAY MODE. When in the PLAY MODE, it is possible to select a patch and use the knobs or buttons to change settings to play.
For now use this patch to try and produce some sound. 4. Play a chord on the guitar and rotate the OUTPUT knob to the right to control the volume.
2. After rotating the OUTPUT knob to the 0 position, turn the POWER switch (STAND-BY) to ON ( ).
Turning the POWER switch ON when the OUTPUT knob is turned up may result in damage to devices such as amplifier, speaker, headphone, etc., or cause unexpected accidents like damage to your hearing due to a high volume setting.
3. A 3-digit number 011 will appear on the display.
The numbers (Group number: 0, Bank number: 1, Patch number: 1) refer to the patch that is currently selected.
s Try Changing the Settings
Use the knobs or buttons on the panel to create your own original tone.
q Try creating your own sound
Knob positions do not represent the current patchs value settings so the knob must be aligned with its setting value (editable condition) in order to make changes to the value. For this reason, the following rules apply when a knob is moved. Rotate a knob, if the [UP] lamp flashes, rotate the knob to the right (toward 10). If the [DOWN] lamp flashes, rotate the knob to the left (toward 0). At this time, that patchs data value (the value set in the patch of the knob you are turning) will flash on the display.
* As long as the value is flashing on the display, the tone and value will not change when the knob is rotated.
The AMP SELECT switch functions in the same manner. When the knob is rotated, the patchs selected amp type will flash on the display. Rotate the knob to the position of the amp type indicated in the display and then select an amp type you want to use.

The OUTPUT knob and MASTER knob Either knob can be used to change the volume. However, the MASTER knob setting is included with the patch data while the OUTPUT knob setting is not. Use the MASTER knob to set the volume of each patch and use the OUTPUT knob to set the volume as heard from the speaker.
q Change the Effect Setting
Try switching the each of the effect blocks ON/OFF or try changing the effect. Also, try using the knobs for each of the effects to change the character of the effect. The DG-Stomps effects section is divided into the following 4 blocks, Continue rotating the knob in the previously described direction and the patchs data value shown in the display as well as the [UP]/[DOWN] lamp will stop flashing and indicate the actual value corresponding to the knobs position.
* After you stop moving the knob, the value will be displayed for about 2 more seconds after which it will return to the normal display. * Even if only one setting value is changed, the [MANUAL] lamp will flash to indicate that the patchs data has changed. When settings for all knobs (with the exception of OUTPUT) have changed, the [MANUAL] lamp will light.
Compressor (COMP) Modulation (CHORUS/FLANGER/PHASER/ ROTARY/TREMOLO) Delay (DELAY/TAPE ECHO) Reverb (SPRING/HALL/PLATE) Press the corresponding button to select the effect you want to use (the lamp will light). However, only one effect per block can be used at a time. Also, if a button that is lit (ON) is pressed, the light will go off and the effect in that block will be switched (OFF). All knobs can be used to set the parameters of the effect selected in the block.
* Refer to [Effect Functions and Parameters] (page 19) for more information on each effects function or knobs setting. * The operation of each knob follows the same rules as the preamplifier section.
Once the knob is in an editable condition (in which the settings value can be changed), turning the knob will result in the value shown in the display changing in regards to the knobs position and a relative change in the tone. The previously described rules apply to all knobs except the OUTPUT knob.
q Set the Speaker Simulator
The speaker simulator is a special circuit that adds the live characteristics of a speaker to the tone output of the DG-Stomp. It is best used when you are listening through a pair of headphones or when connected directly via a line to a mixer or recorder. Press the [SP. SIM] button to turn the Speaker Simulator ON (the lamp will light). Press the button again to turn the Speaker Simulator OFF (light is off). Also, the DG-Stomp is equipped with 16 types of speaker simulations. Try to find a simulation you like. 1. Simultaneously press the [SP. SIM] button and the [UTILITY] button.
After SP.S appears in the display, the currently selected simulation type will be displayed. The four types of simulation are as follows.

When another patch is selected, any settings you have altered will revert to their original settings. If you want to save those settings, please use the Store operation described on page 17.

2. Use the [UP]/[DOWN] buttons to select the simulator type. 3. Press the [UTILITY] button to return to the PLAY mode.
* The speaker simulators setting is stored along with the patch data. It is also possible to use Utility settings to turn the speaker simulator ON or OFF independent of the patch data settings (see page 27) * If the MASTER volume or tone controls are set relatively high, the sound may clip when the Speaker Simulator circuit is activated. If so, slightly lower the MASTER volume level.
s Try Selecting Another Patch
The DG-Stomp holds a total of 180 patch programs (patch) in its internal memory. The 180 patches are divided into two areas each containing 10 groups, 3 banks and 3 patches. AREA There are two areas, the USER AREA and the PRESET AREA. When the Store operation is used, data in the USER AREA (90 patches) can be freely rewritten. You can change settings in the PRESET AREA (90 patches) data but you can not rewrite the contents to the PRESET AREA memory. When a PRESET AREA patch is selected, a dot will appear to the lower right of the hundreds digit on the display (0.11-9.33) When the dot is not lit (011-933), it indicates that a patch in the USER AREA is selected.
* When the DG-Stomp is shipped from the factory, the same patch data as found in the PRESET AREA is used in the USER AREA. Refer to the [Patch List] on the separate Patch List sheet.
Try selecting some of the different patches and try out some of the different sounds. To select a different patch, use one of the three methods described below.
q Using the [UP]/[DOWN] buttons on the panel
Each time the [UP] button is pressed, the next greater patch number is selected.
022 023.033 111..933 0.11 012..(returns to the top).

Using a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI IN jack on the DG-Stomp to the MIDI OUT jack on an external MIDI device lets you control DG-Stomps volume, tone and effect parameters (setting values) and use the device as a Wah pedal.
Effect Functions and Parameters

Compressor

q Comp (Compressor)
Controlling the input signal (peak) this effect keeps the maximum level constrained to the level set with the knob. COMP knob Rotate the knob to the right to increase the depth of the compression. When set to 0.0 it will have no effect.

q FLANGER

Creates a sound resembling a jet. SPEED knob Sets the speed at which the pitch will vibrate. DEPTH knob Sets the depth at which the pitch will vibrate. SPEED knob + [FLANGER] Sets the delay time. DEPTH knob + [FLANGER] Sets the feedback level.

q PHASER

Modulation Effects
There are five modulation effects, CHORUS, FLANGER, PHASER, ROTARY and TREMOLO. The two knobs controlling modulation parameters are double duty knobs. As is, they control speed and depth of the selected effect but holding the currently selected effects button while turning the knob can access a second function for each knob. Secondary function parameters are also stored with the patchs data. When a patch is selected, the secondary parameter settings that are stored in the patchs data will be assigned to the patch. When a different modulation effect is selected from the modulation effect block, the previous effect's settings will be used for the SPEED and DEPTH knobs individual parameter values. Secondary parameter values are set to the value most recently used for the selected effect. (Secondary parameter values are always stored in the unit with individual effects.) To return the secondary parameters setting to its factory default value, hold that effects button until the five modulation effect lamps are lit.
This changes the cyclical phase to give the sound a wave like motion. SPEED knob Sets the speed at which the phase changes. DEPTH knob Sets the depth of the phase. SPEED knob + [PHASER] Sets the feedback level. DEPTH knob + [PHASER] Sets the mix level of the phase effect.
q ROTARY (Rotary Speaker)
This effect simulates a two-way rotary speaker. SPEED knob Sets the rotation speed of the low frequency speaker. DEPTH knob Sets the rotation speed of the high frequency speaker. SPEED knob + [ROTARY] Sets the angle at which the left and right microphones are set in relation to the speaker. A setting of 0 will produce a monaural sound while a setting of 10.0 will produce a microphone placement of 180 degrees. DEPTH knob + [ROTARY] Sets the volume balance between the high frequency speaker and low frequency speaker.

* When the merge is on, data retransmitted via the MIDI OUT jack is not confined to the MIDI Receive Channel setting so all data from all channels will be transmitted.
q MIDI Bulk Out This operation transmits data stored in the DGStomps USER AREA as well as Utility Mode settings to an external device, such as the YAMAHA MDF3, etc., for back up or storage. Use a MIDI cable to connect the DG-Stomps MIDI OUT jack to the MIDI IN jack of an external MIDI device.
