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.

MULTI – True 8-voice chorus; the lushest chorusing you can get in a pedal. MODERN – Dual voice chorusing that’s both very rich and smooth. BOUTIQUE – A rich chorus with the quirkiness of analog circuits. ANALOG – Distinctively organic bucket-brigade chorus.
7. Input 2 - Connect a second input to this jack for stereo operation. Inputs 1 and 2 are processed separately through the stereo chorus effect and then fed to Outputs 1 and 2 keeping true stereo separation between channels. 8. Foot Switch Release Pins - These two pins are spring loaded hinges that hold the Foot Switch in place. See page 9 for information on accessing and changing the battery. 9. Indicator LED - Lights when the effect is turned on.
11. Output 1 (Mono) - Connect this output to the input of a single guitar amplifier, another pedal input, or an amp effects return. 12. Output 2 - Connect this output to a second guitar amplifier when two amplifiers are being used. Note: Use unbalanced mono instrument cables only.
