DigiTech Supernatural Ambient Stereo Reverb Pedal

Introduction

The DigiTech Supernatural Ambient Stereo Reverb pedal offers a diverse range of reverb effects, from classic sounds to ethereal ambient textures. It features seven distinct reverb types: Plate, Plate Mod, Shimmer, Shine, Supernova, Pherb, and Spring. Designed for guitarists seeking expansive and high-quality reverb, this pedal provides true stereo input/output and true bypass circuitry to maintain signal integrity.

Key Features

• Tails On/Off Switch: When activated, reverb tails are not abruptly cut off upon bypass, allowing for natural decay.
• True Stereo I/O: Supports stereo input and output for immersive soundscapes.
• True Bypass: Ensures your instrument's tone remains unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
• Constant High-Voltage Operation: Provides uncompromised signal quality and headroom.
• Stomplock Knob Guard: A protective guard that locks control settings in place, preventing accidental adjustments during performance.
• Pedal Switch Glow Sticker: Enhances visibility of the footswitch in low-light stage environments.
• Custom-cut Hook and Loop Pedalboard Pad: Included for secure attachment to a pedalboard.

Setup

Follow these steps to set up your DigiTech Supernatural Ambient Stereo Reverb pedal:

1. Power Connection: The pedal requires a 9V power source. You can use a standard 9V battery or an external 9V DC power adapter (not included). Ensure the power supply meets the pedal's requirements for stable operation.
2. Audio Connections:
   • For mono operation, connect your instrument to the LEFT (MONO) Input jack and your amplifier to the LEFT (MONO) Output jack.
   • For stereo operation, connect your instrument or preceding stereo effects to both LEFT and RIGHT Input jacks. Connect the LEFT and RIGHT Output jacks to two separate amplifiers or a stereo input device.
3. Placement: Position the pedal on your pedalboard or floor. Use the included custom-cut hook and loop pad for secure attachment to a pedalboard.
4. Stomplock Installation: If desired, install the Stomplock knob guard over the control knobs to prevent accidental changes to your settings during use.

Operating Instructions

The Supernatural pedal features four primary controls and a footswitch for engaging the effect.

This image displays the top view of the DigiTech Supernatural Ambient Stereo Reverb pedal. Visible are the four control knobs: MIX, LIVELINESS, DECAY, and the Reverb Type selector. The footswitch and the 'Supernatural Ambient Verb' branding are also clearly shown.

Controls:

• MIX Knob: Controls the blend between your dry instrument signal and the wet reverb effect. Turn clockwise for more reverb, counter-clockwise for less.
• LIVELINESS Knob: Adjusts the amount of treble and presence in the reverb tail, affecting its brightness and perceived density. Higher settings create a more vibrant and noticeable reverb.
• DECAY Knob: Determines the length of the reverb tail. Turn clockwise for longer, more sustained reverb, and counter-clockwise for shorter, more abrupt reverb.
• REVERB TYPE Selector: A rotary switch to select one of the seven distinct reverb algorithms:
• Plate: A classic, smooth studio plate reverb sound.
• Plate Mod: Adds a subtle chorus modulation to the Plate reverb for a richer, more animated texture.
• Shimmer: Creates an ethereal, upward-cascading reverb with octave shifts, ideal for ambient soundscapes.
• Shine: A thick reverb combined with lush chorus and a hint of pitch shifting for a bright, expansive sound.
• Supernova: A vast reverb effect enhanced with flange and a subtle trace of pitch shifting, producing a boundless, shimmering quality.
• Pherb: Utilizes a Lexicon Hall reverb base, flavored with a tasteful hint of phasing for a unique, spacious effect.
• Spring: Emulates the sound of a traditional spring reverb tank, offering a vibrant and authentic spring reverb character.
• Footswitch: Toggles the effect on and off. The LED indicator illuminates when the effect is active.

Tails On/Off Switch:

Located on the side of the pedal, this switch controls whether the reverb tail continues to decay naturally after the effect is bypassed (ON) or is immediately cut off (OFF). Set to ON for seamless transitions and natural reverb decay.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DigiTech Supernatural pedal:

• Cleaning: Wipe the pedal with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the pedal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: If using a battery, replace it when the LED indicator dims or the pedal's performance degrades. Disconnect the power supply and unscrew the bottom plate to access the battery compartment.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the pedal away from liquids and high humidity to prevent damage to internal electronics.
