DigiTech Mosaic 12 String Effect

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the DigiTech Mosaic 12-string effect pedal. The Mosaic creates a lush, shimmering chordal effect reminiscent of a 12-string guitar and can be used with both acoustic and electric instruments. Thanks to its True Bypass design, your tone remains untouched when bypassing the effect.

The LEVEL control blends the amount of 12-string effect added to your dry signal. The TONE control provides high-frequency enhancement to the effect signal as it is increased.

To use the Mosaic pedal, engage the effect via the footswitch (the LED will light up when the effect is on), turn the LEVEL knob to blend in the desired amount of effect, and then adjust the TONE knob to set the level of high-end – frequency enhancement to be applied to the effect signal.

If your guitar sounds too bright, try lowering the LEVEL knob and increasing the TONE knob. Gentle LEVEL settings around the 9 o'clock position work well for chords. Higher LEVEL settings around the 12 o'clock position work well for arpeggios.

Connections and Power Application

To connect the Mosaic pedal to your setup:

1. Lower your amplifier's master volume control.
2. Make all audio connections to the Mosaic as shown below.
3. Connect the supplied power adapter to the POWER input connector and plug the other end into an available AC outlet.
4. Strum your guitar and gradually increase your amplifier's master volume control until you reach your desired level.

Diagram Description: A connection diagram illustrating the setup. A guitar is connected via an instrument cable to the INPUT of the DigiTech Mosaic pedal. The OUTPUT of the Mosaic is connected to the INPUT of an amplifier. Other pedals are shown connected in a chain, either before or after the Mosaic, labeled 'OTHER PEDALS'. The PS0913DC POWER SUPPLY is depicted connected to the Mosaic's power input and to a wall outlet. Text indicates: 'Use unbalanced TS instrument cables only.' and 'OPTIONAL ---'.

NOTE: The Mosaic should be the first pedal in your effects chain. Placing any effect before it may affect its pitch-shifting performance.

DO NOT USE THIS APPARATUS NEAR WATER.

CLEAN ONLY WITH A DRY CLOTH.

FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.

DO NOT BLOCK ANY VENTILATION OPENINGS. INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY HEAT SOURCES, SUCH AS RADIATORS, HEAT REGISTERS, STOVES, OR OTHER APPARATUS (INCLUDING AMPLIFIERS) THAT PRODUCE HEAT.

USE ONLY ACCESSORIES/ACCESSORIES SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

UNPLUG THIS APPARATUS DURING LIGHTNING STORMS OR WHEN UNUSED FOR LONG PERIODS.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, especially at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Use only with a cart, stand, tripod bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

POWER ON/OFF SWITCH: The switch used in this apparatus does not interrupt connection to the electric network. DISCONNECTED MAINS: The plug must remain readily operable. When rack-mounted or installed where the plug is inaccessible, the rack or building's electrical installation must provide a master switch on all poles with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole. When connecting to 240 V supply, a suitable CSA/UL certified power cord must be used.

UNITED KINGDOM MAIN PLUG WARNING: A molded mains plug that has been cut off from the cord is unsafe. Dispose of the mains plug safely. NEVER INSERT A DAMAGED OR CUT MAINS PLUG INTO A 13AMP SOCKET. Do not use the mains plug without the fuse cover in place. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer. Replacement fuses are 13 amp and MUST be ASTA approved to BS1362.
