DIRECT OUT Jack, OUTPUT (MONO) Jack The output jacks are used to connect the unit to an amplifier or another effects unit. * Output may vary according to the connections. Refer to “Outputting the Direct Sound and Octave Sound Separately” (p. 11). 4. GUITAR IN Jack, BASS IN Jack These jacks accept input signals (coming from a guitar, a bass, some other musical instrument, or another effects unit). * The unit’s functions differ according to how it is connected. Refer to “Connections” (p. 8). * When running the unit on battery power, the GUITAR IN and BASS IN jacks double as power switches. Power to the unit is turned on when you plug into the GUITAR IN or BASS IN jack; the power is turned off when the cable is unplugged. Be sure to disconnect any cord plugged into the GUITAR IN or BASS IN jack when not using this effects device. When the AC adaptor is used, the power remains on at all times, and this function is disabled. 5. Pedal Switch Used for switching effects on/off. 6.

CONTROL Knob This knob’s function changes according to the mode set with the MODE knob (10.). RANGE This functions as a RANGE knob when the MODE knob is set to POLY. This adjusts the range in which the octave effect is applied. The effect extends into higher frequencies as the knob is turned to the right; turning the knob to the left limits the effect to lower frequencies. OCT2 (-2 Octave Level) This functions as a OCT2 knob when the MODE knob is set to OCT2. This adjusts the level of the sound two octaves below the original. The volume of the sound two octaves down increases as the knob is turned to the right. DRIVE This functions as a DRIVE knob when the MODE knob is set to DRIVE. This adjusts the amount of distortion in the sound. Turning the knob to the right intensifies the distortion. 10. MODE Knob This switches the octave effect. Changing this knob’s settings changes the function of the CONTROL knob (9.). POLY (Polyphonic) Enables polyphonic input. This mode creates a more stable octave sound than available in other modes. OCT2 (OC-2 Compatible) In addition to providing sounds one octave below the original input, this also allows you to output sounds lowered by two octaves. DRIVE Adds distortion to the direct sound and octave sound. * Only the octave sound is distorted when a plug is connected to DIRECT OUT (p. 11).

Connections * When running the unit on battery power, inserting a plug into the GUITAR IN or BASS IN Jack will automatically switch the unit on. * The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type. * To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. * If there are batteries in the unit while an AC adaptor is being used, normal operation will continue should the line voltage be interrupted (power blackout or power cord disconnection). * Once the connections have been completed (p. 8), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices. When powering up: Turn on the power to your guitar amp last. When powering down: Turn off the power to your guitar amp first. * Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction. * When operating on battery power only, the unit’s indicator will become dim when battery power gets too low.
