Congratulations! You have just purchased a DigiTech® digital effect pedal. Unlike many analog pedals, the number of hours digital pedals can be powered with 9-Volt alkaline batteries is limited due to the constant draw which digital signal processors require. Until battery technology advances to meet the requirements of digital pedals, we suggest that a battery be used mainly for demonstration and practice purposes.
Introduction More than a remarkable achievement, DigiTech’s HardWire® series represents a collection of significant improvements in guitar effects pedals. The HardWire series pedals provide a suite of well-known effects, each with superior tone and control.

What Does This Do? 1. Level Knob - Controls the reverb level. Turn this knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the reverb level. 2. DC Adapter Jack - Connect the optional Harman power supply to this jack. Use the proper supply for your area’s mains line voltage. 3. Liveliness Knob - Controls the amount of high frequency response in the Reverb’s effect signal. Turn this knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the high frequencies. 4.
• MODULATED - Lush modulating reverb ideal for chords. • GATED - Unique reverb with abrupt decay; good for percussive playing. • HALL - Large encompassing reverb with warm decay. • SPRING - Classic “surf” reverb; great for Rockabilly too! 6. Input 1 (Mono) - Connect your instrument, the output of a pedal, or an amp effects send to this jack. Signals are heard at both outputs when only the Input 1 (Mono) jack is used. This jack enables battery power to the pedal when connected.
8. Foot Switch Release Pins - These two pins are spring loaded hinges that hold the Foot Switch in place. See page 10 for information on accessing and changing the battery. See page 6 for more information about using and changing the Tails Switch settings. 9. Indicator LED - Lights when the effect is turned on. When battery power is low (approximately 15 minutes), the Indicator LED begins to dim giving you advanced warning that very shortly you will need to replace the battery. 10.
Tails Switch The RV-7 features a switch that allows the reverb signal to continue being heard after the effect is bypassed. When the Tails Switch is set ON, the RV-7 does not utilize true hardwire bypass. If you always want to use true hardwire bypass, set the Tails Switch to OFF. When the Tails Switch is OFF, reverb signal is cut off immediately when the effect is bypassed.

This eliminates the need to remove the pedal from your pedal chain if the battery is dead. To replace the battery, do the following: 1. Using the tip of a 1/4” guitar cable, push one of the Release Pins in on either side of the Foot Switch, and remove it from the pedal chassis. 2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect the battery cable. 3.
