OPFXS Dig Deep Sub-Harmonic Generator
This is the new version with more functions! DIG DEEP is an octave down pedal which tracks lower strings only and generates a monophonic bass line without affecting upper strings. It can be useful to add depth and body to a thin guitar sound or simulate the presence of a bass guitar.
It comes with 2 knobs and a micro switch:
DRY – controls the level of the dry signal
SUB – controls the level of the lower octave
“F” – function switch, used to set SUB ATTACK, SUB TONE, SPLIT OUT, TRACKING settings
FUNCTION switch settings
SUB ATTACK: toggles between FAST and SLOW attack of octave down signal.
How to toggle between fast and slow SUB ATTACK: with pedal bypass LED turned ON, keep FUNCTION switch
pressed for 2 seconds, LED will flash a few times indicating successful change.
SPLIT MODE: toggles between MONO and SPLIT output. MONO mode mixes SUB and DRY on a single channel. SPLIT mode, as it says, splits SUB and DRY on different channels. You need to use a Y jack or adapter to work. In SPLIT mode the TIP of the jack carries the DRY signal and RING carries the SUB signal. This is very useful to route DRY and SUB to different audio paths.
When pedal is in SPLIT mode the current absorption increases by 10mA.
How to toggle between MONO and SPLIT output: put pedal in bypass status by pushing bypass footswitch, keep FUNCTION switch pressed for 2 seconds, LED will flash a few times indicating successful change.
TRACKING (8 steps): sets tracking for different guitars and pickup types. This setting affects the octave down response to your guitar. It’s a 8 steps setting, so up to 8 different tracking options. When setting TRACKING low (CCW) it will move the sub octave range toward low frequencies. When setting TRACKING high (CW) it will move the sub octave range toward high frequencies.
As a general rule, low tuned guitars, 7-string guitars, baritones etc. will prefer a low TRACKING setting. Standard tuned 6-strings guitars will go better with a high TRACKING setting.
How to set a new TRACKING: press FUNCTION once. LED will start blink at 1 sec rate. Set new TRACKING by moving the DRY knob and play to test which TRACKING setting works best. When done press FUNCTION once again to exit.
SUB TONE (12 steps): sets the tone of sub octave, from dark (CCW) to bright (CW). It’s a 12 steps setting, so up to 12different tone options.
How to set a new SUB TONE: press FUNCTION once. LED will start blink at 1 sec rate. Set new SUB TONE by moving the SUB knob and play to test which setting you prefer. When done press FUNCTION once again to exit.
While setting TRACKING and SUB TONE, both SUB and DRY levels are held and not affected by moving the respective knobs. This is useful for setting TRACKING and SUB TONE while playing with previous levels of SUB and DRY.
TRACKING and SUB TONE values are changed and saved only after moving their knobs. So if you press FUNCTION by accident or want to set TRACKING or SUB TONE only there’s less risk to perform an undesired modification.
All settings are saved inside internal memory and recalled at power on of the pedal.
It tracks accurately playing arpeggios or strumming chords, even complex chords and inversions.
Dig Deep can work with 6-strings and 7-strings guitars with different tunings. By the way, very low tunings with thick gauge strings may cause tracking issues.
Requires a 9v power supply minimum 100 mA
