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.
Amplifier Setup Harman Power Supply (optional) or 2
Effects Loop Setup AMP RETURN Harman Power Supply (optional) Note: If the amp effects loop has a mix control, set the mix to 100% full wet.

What Does This Do? 1. Speed Knob - Controls the LFO speed of the Phaser effect. Turning the knob clockwise increases the speed and turning it counterclockwise decreases the speed. 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. Depth Knob - Controls the intensity of the Phaser effect. Turn the knob clockwise for a deep Phaser sound and counter-clockwise for a subtle Phaser sound. 4.
6. Input 1 (Mono) - When only a single input is needed, this jack must be used. Signals will still be heard at both outputs when only the Input 1 (Mono) jack is connected to. Connecting a guitar cable to the In 1(Mono) jack supplies battery power even though the Indicator LED may not be lit. To prolong battery life, disconnect all cables from the pedal when not in use. If the optional power supply is used for power, the input can remain connected. 7.
9. Indicator LED - This LED indicates when the effect is turned on or off. When battery power is low (approximately 15 minutes before end of life), the Indicator LED will begin blinking to warn that the battery needs to be replaced. 10. Foot Switch - Press the Foot Switch to turn the effect on and off. 11. Output 1 (Mono) - Connect this output to the input of a single guitar amplifier, another pedal input, or an amp effects return. 12.

Tap Tempo The SP-7 Phaser’s Foot Switch can be used as a Tap Tempo switch for setting the phaser effect’s modulation speed time during a live performance. To access Tap Tempo, do the following: 1. Press and hold the Pedal Switch for 3 seconds. The effect first will turn on and the Indicator LED lights solid BLUE (NOTE: If the effect was already on, it will first turn off and then back on after 3 seconds). 2.
4. To exit Tap Tempo, press and hold the Foot Switch for 3 seconds until the Indicator LED stops flashing and lights solid BLUE again. Once Tap Tempo mode is exited, the tapped modulation speed remains active until either the Type is changed or the SPEED knob is used.
Performance Accessories The performance accessories make integrating a HardWire pedal into any pedal board a snap.
Hook-and-loop Pedalboard Pad To attach the Pedalboard Pad, do the following: 1. Peel off the existing rubber skid pad from the bottom of the pedal. 2. Peel the adhesive protector from the back of the Pedalboard Pad. 3. Apply the Pedalboard Pad to the bottom of the pedal.
Foot Switch Glow Sticker To attach the Foot Switch Glow Sticker, do the following: 1. Peel the adhesive backing from the Foot Switch Glow Sticker. 2. Apply the Glow Sticker to the top of the Foot Switch.

Battery Operation 16 In the event that battery power is completely depleted, HardWire pedals automatically switch into bypass. 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.
into place over the depressed pin. Release the pin. When the Foot Switch is properly fastened, both release pins are flush with the outer side of Foot Switch the pedal.
