Strymon DIG Operation & User’s Manual

® pg 2 Front Panel TAP Tap to set your master delay time. The TAP LED will flash to indicate your tempo. Hold to engage Circular Repeats. BYPASS Engages and bypasses the effect. LED on indicates that the effect is engaged. MIX 2 Controls wet/dry mix for Delay 2. Full clockwise is 100% wet. TYPE TIME Controls delay time for Delay 1. Acts as a master time control for both delays. MOD Sets the amount of modulation added to the delay lines. TIME 2 Sets the rhythmic subdivision between Delay 1 and Delay 2. Select triplet, eighth, golden ratio, dotted eighth, or dotted quarter. REPEATS Sets the amount of repeats for both delays. MIX Controls wet/dry mix for Delay 1. Full clockwise is 100% wet. 24/96 – Modern, clean, and pure delay with subtle dynamics processing. adm – Early 80s adaptive delta modulation process, providing snappy, percussive delays. Choose from three delay conversion process choices: 12 bit – Mid 80s 12-bit conversion method yields slightly darker and warmer delays.

® pg 3 Press and hold both footswitches simultaneously while turning the desired knob to access the secondary functions. Secondary Functions SYNC/FREE MODE Turn to right side of knob to engage Free Mode. Disables time sync and subdivisions between Delay 1 and Delay 2. Gives Time 2 knob a full delay range from 20ms to 1.6s. Turn to left side of knob to engage Sync Mode. Enables time sync and subdivisions between Delay 1 and Delay 2. Sync Mode is default operation. DELAY 1 SUBDIVISION Sets a Tap Tempo subdivision for Delay 1. Turn left for Dotted Eighth note, center for Quarter note, right for Half note. Quarter note is default operation. DELAY 2 REPEATS Sets the Delay 2 Repeats. Turn fully right to Track Repeats, which ties Delay 1 and Delay 2 repeats together. Track Repeats is default operation. FILTER Sets feedback filter response. Turn left for High Cut, center for Flat response, right for Low Cut. Flat response is default operation. CONFIG Turn left for Series, center for Ping Pong, or right for Parallel configuration. Series is default operation. See page 4 for detailed Config information.

® pg 4 Dual Delay Config The secondary function for the MIX 2 knob sets the Dual Delay configuration. Press and hold both TAP and BYPASS footswitches while turning the MIX 2 knob to adjust. Turn left for Series, center for Ping Pong, or right for Parallel configuration. SERIES In Series configuration, Delay 2 feeds Delay 1. This is equivalent to putting two single delay pedals in succession on your pedal board. A mono input feeds both left and right channels. PING PONG In Ping Pong Mode, the delays are configured in a series ‘ping-pong’ configuration. When using a mono output signal, this configuration is the same as the Series configuration. In stereo, each delay acts as a ping-pong delay, and they interact when both Mix knobs are turned up. PARALLEL In Parallel configuration, the delays do not interact with each other, but produce their outputs ‘side-by-side’. In Stereo, Delay 1 outputs to the left channel, and Delay 2 outputs to the right channel. When the right output is not used, the wet signal sums to mono so that both parallel delays are heard from the left output.

® pg 5 Voicings A one bit, high sample rate A/D/A conversion technique that evolved from telecommunications voice coding. The conversion and supporting signal conditioning, limiting and pre-emphasis/ de-emphasis create a percussive wide- band delay that adds more character when input dynamics increase. A clean, high-resolution, high-bandwidth delay with a hint of dynamics that allow the delay to sit nicely with the analog dry signal. Twenty-four bit resolution and a 96kHz sampling rate ensure uncolored, artifact-free repeats. A 12-bit, 32kHz PCM conversion made possible by monolithic IC chips developed in the late ‘70s. Pre-emphasis/de- emphasis and companding combine with the converters to produce a warm delay with a dimensional sense. 24/96 ADM 12 BIT

® pg 6 EXP INPUT 9VDC + - RIGHT OUT LEFT OUT ® TRS OR Rear Panel INPUT High impedance input. Default configuration is mono input. Can be used as TRS stereo input by flipping internal jumper switch. See page 10 for TRS stereo input information. TAP / FAVORITE SWITCH Connect an external tap switch to tap in your delay time. Or plug in a Favorite switch to save and recall a favorite preset. See page 7 for EXP jack setup. EXPRESSION PEDAL Connect a standard TRS expression pedal for continuous control over any one knob with your foot. See page 7 for EXP jack setup. STEREO OUTPUTS Use LEFT OUT for mono signal output. Use both outputs for stereo operation. POWER Maximum 9 volts DC center negative, with a minimum of 250mA current.

® pg 7 Expression Input Modes EXPRESSION PEDAL Power up with both toggle switches in the UP position while both holding footswitches to configure for use with an expression pedal. Connect a standard TRS expression pedal for control over any knob. To assign the knob controlled by the expression pedal: Power down your pedal. Hold the TAP footswitch during power up, while turning the knob you’d like to assign. The maximum position the knob is turned up to becomes the expression pedal “toe down” maximum value. FAVORITE SWITCH Power up with both toggle switches in the MIDDLE position while holding both footswitches to configure for use with a FAVORITE switch. To save a favorite setting, press and hold the Bypass switch. EXTERNAL TAP Power up with both toggle switches in the DOWN position while holding both footswitches to configure for use with an external TAP switch. HOLD BOTH AT POWER UP while changing toggle switch position to set Expression Input Mode The EXP jack on your DIG is set up for Expression Pedal from the factory. To change the Expression Input mode, hold down both TAP and BYPASS footswitches while powering up. While holding down, move the toggle switches to one of the three positions shown below.

® pg 8 Bypass Modes DIG is set up for True Bypass from the factory. To change to Analog Buffered Bypass mode with delay trails, hold down the BYPASS switch while powering up. Repeat this process to revert back to True Bypass. TRUE BYPASS Our True Bypass circuit is simply a mechanical relay to switch the input signal directly to the output, with absolutely no components attached. BUFFERED BYPASS Our high-quality Analog Buffered Bypass circuit features a 1Meg input impedance, keeping the character of your guitar pickup unaltered. The output impedance is 100 Ohms and can drive hundreds of feet of cable without coloring your sound. This mode also enables delay trails, allowing your delay to persist even after bypassing the effect. HOLD BYPASS while powering up to change Bypass Mode

® pg 9 Kill Dry Mode DIG can be set up to mute the dry signal, useful for Parallel effects loops. To change this operation, hold down both TAP and BYPASS footswitches while powering up. While holding down, turn the TIME knob to one of two ranges shown below. HOLD BOTH AT POWER UP while turning the TIME knob to change the Kill Dry mode. KILL DRY OFF Set here to disable Kill Dry. Kill Dry Off is standard operation. KILL DRY ON Set here to enable Kill Dry. This will mute the dry signal, allowing the MIX and MIX 2 controls to be used as effect levels.

® pg 10 Holding down the TAP footswitch enables Circular Repeats, where both delay lines maintain a static volume and repeat continuously until the TAP footswitch is disengaged. At this point, all previous settings will be restored. The 1/4” input can be set for either mono input or TRS stereo input. The pedal ships in mono input configuration from the factory. Here’s how to change the input configuration: Remove the back cover of your pedal. On the left side of the circuit board, you’ll see a jumper that can be set in two positions. Place the jumper on the left 2 pins for TRS stereo input. Place the jumper on the right 2 pins for mono input. In order to use the TRS stereo input, you’ll need a TRS stereo input adapter like the one shown below. Mono input Stereo input Circular Repeats TRS Stereo Input RING RIGHT 1/4” INPUT LEFT 1/4” INPUT TIP SLEEVE TIP RING Press and hold to engage the Circular Repeats feature. Release to return the controls to their previous settings.
