Compression Process BypassAt any time you can bypass the process, thereby allowing the direct signal to passthrough the DigiComp 16 unchanged. This can be done in two ways:• By pressing the BYPASS switch (3)• By connecting a footswitch to the BYPASS jack (9) and pressing the footswitch. On theback panel you will find a footswitch jack labelled BYPASS. This is a mono jack withconnections for a standard footswitch. The footswitch must be plugged in before theDigiComp 16 has its power turned on — the DigiComp 16 will automatically recognizethe right “polarity” of the pedal.Installationa. Standard UseThe DigiComp 16 may be placed anywhere — on a table, on top of an amp, next to amixing console. If it will be on furniture, use the rubber feet provided for the bottom of theunit. Make sure to place the unit’s power supply away from other audio equipment thatmay induce fields, and away from the signal wiring. It is possible that the DigiComp 16may pick up noise fields generated by other equipment such as a large power amplifier.In this case, move the unit until the noise goes away.b. Application ExamplesLine Instrument — When connecting audio cables and/or turning power on and off, makesure that all devices in your system have their volume controls turned down. TheDigiComp 16 has two 1/4” unbalanced inputs and two 1/4” unbalanced outputs. Thisinput/output configuration may provide three different audio connection options:From Instrument orEffect SendTo Mixing or AmplifierConsole• MonoConnect an audio cable to the LEFT INPUT (12) of the DigiComp 16 from a monosource, and another audio cable from the LEFT OUTPUT (10) of the DigiComp 16 to anamplification system or mixer input.Preset Functionset 1/23/03 12:50 PM Page 18
