The DigiDelay is a unique delay pedal, combining several features that have never been available in a standard stompbox. The DigiDelay offers 4-seconds of delay, four different delay types including ping-pong, tape, reverse, modulated, and a loop function. The Loop function records loops up to 4 seconds in length that you can add overdubs to. The DigiDelay also features Tap Tempo delay and switchable CIT cabinet modeling. This owners manual will guide you through all of these features. But feel free to experiment as you read through it. 1. Level Knob Controls the delay effects output level. Turn this knob clockwise to increase the output level, and counter-clockwise to decrease the output level. 2. Repeats Knob Controls the number of delay repeats. Turn this knob clockwise to increase the number of repeats, and counter-clockwise to decrease the number of repeats. Turning this knob to the maximum position engages repeat-hold of the delay signal. This knob is disabled in 7-LOOP mode.
3. AC Adapter Jack Connect a DigiTech PS200R power supply to this jack. Use the proper supply for your areas Mains line voltage. 4.Time Knob Controls the amount of delay time specified by the range selected with the Mode (5) knob. The knobs minimum position is the shortest delay time for the given range. The knobs maximum position is the longest delay time for the given range. When 4-TAPE, 5-MOD DLY, or 6-REVERSE is selected, the delay time ranges vary from 10ms - 8 seconds (see Mode Knob for exact ranges). You can increase the delay time by tapping in a longer time using the Tap Tempo delay feature (see Tap Tempo section). The Time knob is disabled when 7-LOOP is selected or when the DigiDelay is in Tap Tempo mode. 5. Mode Knob Selects a delay range, delay type, or the infinite Loop function. The first four mode settings give you ping-pong delay when Out 2 is used in conjunction with Out 1.
Select one of the following: 1-10-250 MS - 10 to 250 milliseconds 2-250 MS-1 SEC - 250 milliseconds to 1 second 3-1-4 SEC - 1 to 4 seconds 4-TAPE* - Emulates a vintage tape delay 5-MOD DLY* - A digital delay with chorused repeats 6-REVERSE* - A delay where the repeats are played backwards 7-LOOP - A repeat/hold function that lets you create infinite loops of up to four seconds in length. * Mod Delay delay time range is 10ms - 1 sec. Tape Delay range is 100ms -1 sec. Reverse delay range is 1 - 8 seconds. To increase the time of Tape or Mod Delay types, use the Tap Tempo delay feature. 6. Input Jack Connect your instrument to this jack. Connecting a guitar cable to this jack supplies battery power even though the Indicator LED may not be lit. To prolong battery life, disconnect all cables from the pedal when not in use.

7. Pedal Release Pins These two pins are spring-loaded hinges that hold the pedal in place. Push these pins in to release the pedal from the pedal chassis exposing the battery compartment. (See battery replacement diagram). 8. Pedal Press the pedal to turn the effect on and off. The Pedal is also used for tapping in the delay time when using the Tap Tempo delay feature. 9. Out 1(Mono) Jack Connect this output to a single guitar amplifier when only one amp or mixer channel is being used. 10. Indicator LED This LED indicates when the effect is turned on. When using the Tap Tempo delay feature, the LED will flash at the rate of the delay time. If the LED becomes dim or does not light when the cables are connected, the battery needs to be replaced.
11. Out 2 Jack Connect this output to a second amplifier for ping-pong delay when using one of the first three Mode settings, or Tape or Reverse delay types. Use both this output combined with Out 1 for a more enhanced chorusing effect when using the Modulated Delay.

Tap Tempo Delay

The DigiDelays Pedal can be used as a tap-tempo switch for setting the delay time during a live performance. To use the Pedal for tap-tempo, follow these steps: 1.While the delay effect is on, press and hold the Pedal (8) for 3 seconds until the Indicator LED (10) begins flashing. The LED flashes at the delay times duration. 2.Tap the Pedal switch at least two times to set a new delay time. The last two pedal tap intervals set the delay time. The Time (4) knob is disabled when tap-tempo is active, and the delay cannot be bypassed. 3.To exit tap-tempo, press and hold the Pedal for 3 seconds until the Indicator LED stops flashing and lights solid red.

Loop Delay

The Mode knobs 7-LOOP setting is used to create an infinite delay loop up to four seconds long. Once a loop is created, you can add overdub parts to it. To use the Loop feature, follow these steps: 1. Select 7-LOOP using the MODE (5) knob. 2. Begin with the effect bypassed. Press and hold the Pedal (8) and immediately begin playing. The Indicator LED (10) is lit solid red. 3.When you reach the end of your loop, release the Pedal. The passage plays back in an infinite loop, and the Indicator LED flashes red. 4.To add overdubs to the existing loop, press and hold the Pedal at any time and begin playing. The Indicator LED is lit solid red as long as the pedal is held, indicating that anything played will be added to the loop. 5.To stop the loop, quickly press the Pedal. This puts the DigiDelay into Bypass. The loop stops playing and the delay loop memory is cleared.

Connections

The DigiDelay has a single input and a pair of outputs. Out 1 is used if the DigiDelay is being connected to only one amplifier. Out 2 is used for stereo operation. Connect Out 1 to the first amplifier and Out 2 to the second amplifier. Using Out 2 gives you ping-pong delay for the first three Mode settings, or Tape or Reverse delay types.

CIT Cabinet Modeling

The DigiDelay also has built-in CIT cabinet modeling. This is useful when running a distortion pedal into the DigiDelay and then running directly into a mixer or recorder. CIT cabinet modeling creates a guitarthrough-an-amplifier sound without having to use a guitar amp.
To Enable CIT Cabinet Modeling: 1. Begin with the power disconnected from the DigiDelay. 2. Press the Pedal (8) down and apply power (do this by connecting a guitar cable to the DigiDelay Input Jack (6) or connect the PS200R power supply to the AC Adapter Jack (3)). When the Indicator LED (10) has stopped flashing, release the Pedal. CIT cabinet modeling has to be enabled each time you apply power to the DigiDelay using the procedure outlined above.

Battery Replacement

1. Using the tip of a 1/4 guitar cable, push one of the release pins in on either side of the pedal, and remove the pedal from the pedal chassis. 2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect the battery cable. 3. Connect a new battery to the battery cable and put it back in the battery compartment. Make sure the battery cable does not interfere with the spring or pedal switch arm. 4. Place one hole of the pedal over its corresponding pin. 5. Push the opposite pin in and lower the other side of the pedal into place over the depressed pin. Release the pin. When the pedal is properly fastened, both release pins are flush with the outer side of the pedal.
