DigiTech Bass Multi Chorus

The Power to Create

Product Overview

DigiTech has long been recognized as a leader in the guitar and bass signal processing industry. The Bass Multi Chorus pedal offers a breakthrough in chorus effect technology, powered by the proprietary AudioDNA™ processor. It is unique in providing up to 16 independent voices of interactive chorusing, delivering a lush wash of modulation that rivals the finest pedal and rack chorus devices.

Controls

The Bass Multi Chorus pedal features four main controls:

1. Level Knob: Controls the output level of the effect. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease.
2. Speed Knob: Controls the rate at which the chorus modulates. Turn clockwise to increase the rate, counter-clockwise to decrease.
3. Depth Knob: Controls the depth of the chorus effect. Turn clockwise to increase the depth, counter-clockwise to decrease.
4. Voice Knob: Controls the number of chorus voices used. At its minimum, a single voice is heard. As the knob turns clockwise, more voices are added, up to 16 voices interacting at the maximum position.
8. Pedal: Press the pedal to turn the effect on and off.

Connections

The pedal has a single input and a pair of outputs:

6. Input Jack: Connect your instrument to this 1/4" jack. Connecting a cable here also supplies battery power, even if the Indicator LED is not lit. Disconnect cables when not in use to prolong battery life.
9. Out 1 (Mono) Jack: Connect this output to a single bass amplifier or mixer channel panned to the center for mono operation.
11. Out 2 Jack: Connect this output to a second amplifier or mixer channel for true stereo chorusing, providing the most effective experience.
3. AC Adapter Jack: Connect a DigiTech PS200R power supply to this jack. Ensure you use the correct supply for your area's mains line voltage.

CIT™ Cabinet Modeling

The Bass Multi Chorus includes built-in CIT™ cabinet modeling. This feature is useful for running a distortion pedal into the Bass Multi Chorus and then sending the signal directly to a mixer or recorder. It creates a "through-an-amplifier" sound without needing a bass amp. The CIT model is based on a 4x10 cabinet.

To Enable CIT™ Cabinet Modeling: Press the pedal down and apply power (connect a 1/4" cable to the input or connect the PS200R power supply). CIT™ cabinet modeling must be turned on each time power is applied to the pedal.

Connection Examples

The pedal can be connected in several ways:

Diagram 1: Amplifier Connection

A guitar connects to the pedal's Input. The pedal's Out 1 (Mono) connects to an amplifier. Out 2 connects to a second amplifier for stereo. An optional PS200R power supply can power the pedal.

Diagram 2: Mixer Connection

A guitar connects to the pedal's Input. The pedal's Out 1 (Mono) connects to a mixer channel (e.g., BASS). The pedal's Out 2 connects to another mixer channel (e.g., VOC or SYNTH). An optional PS200R power supply can power the pedal.

Remove the old battery from the compartment and disconnect its cable.
Connect a new battery to the cable and place it in the compartment, ensuring the cable does not interfere with the spring or pedal switch arm.
Align one hole of the pedal over its corresponding pin.
Push the opposite pin in, lower the other side of the pedal into place over the depressed pin, and release the pin. Ensure both release pins are flush with the outer side of the pedal when properly fastened.
