QUICK START

For those of you who prefer to burn now and read later, we've included this Quick Start section to help you do it right the first time.

CONNECT CABLES:

Connect guitar input into the front panel and output cables to the rear jacks. Balanced (tip-ring-sleeve) or unbalanced (tip-sleeve) cables can be used with the output jacks.

CONNECT CONTROL ONE FOOT

CONTROLLER (IF APPLICABLE)

Connect the output of the optional DigiTech Control One foot controller to the Foot Controller jack found on the rear of the 2112. Make sure that connection is made before applying power to the 2112.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT ANYTHING BUT THE OPTIONAL DIGITECH CONTROL ONE FOOT CONTROLLER TO THE FOOT CONTROLLER JACK ON THE REAR PANEL! DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE DEVICE.

If you want to control the 2112 via MIDI, connect your MIDI controller to the MIDI In jack.

APPLY POWER:

Use the supplied AC power cord to connect the 2112 to an appropriately grounded outlet. Be sure you run all your power cables away from audio cables.This will prevent noise and stray magnetic fields from entering the signal path.

EFFECTS LOOP:

Connect any external effects devices (such as an old favorite FX pedal) to the 2112 effects send and return jacks.The FX loop level switch (located on the rear panel) allows you to either boost or cut the level by 6dB by simply pressing the switch in or out.

NOTE: Adjust external devices so that they return the same signal level to the 2112 as they receive from the 2112.This will avoid level changes when switching the effects loop in and out.This signal level relationship is called unity gain.

ADJUST INPUT:

Set the guitar to the loudest operating level that will be used. Make sure your amp is set for a clean sound, that your tone controls are all neutral (flat), and the amplifier's main volume is all the way down. At this point, use the Input knob on the front panel to adjust the Input level to the desired setting, so that the loudest guitar signal occasionally lights the clip LED indicator.

ADJUST OUTPUT:

Set the 2112 output level to the 12 o'clock position and turn up the amplifier's main volume to the desired level.

SELECT PROGRAM:

Begin playing your guitar, and choose any program using the Program/Effect wheel. User Programs 1-100 are duplicates of the Factory programs.They are user-pro- grammable and you can modify and store them as you want. Factory Programs 1-100 are not user-programma- ble. Factory Programs. 101-124 are Basic programs that represent the 24 effect configurations. All 124 Factory Programs cannot be overwritten.

1)Output Level Knob - Controls the overall output level of the 2112.

2)Display - This large custom display is where you get most of the information you need to move around the operating system.The display has several sections:

2a) Program Number Indicator - Three large digits in the upper left corner of the display indicate which Program is currently selected.

2b) Factory / User Indicators - Directly below the Program number, the Factory and User Program icons indicate whether the current program resides in either a Factory or User Bank.

2c) Bank / Page Indicators - Located in the bottom left corner of the display, the Bank/Page indicators display:

•the Bank number in which the current program resides in Program Mode. (This is displayed only when the Control One is connected).

•the Page which is currently selected in various Edit modes.

2d) Information Line - Row of 24 characters in the top line of the display gives more detailed information about specific functions and items, and contains things like Program names, Parameter names, and Utility or auxiliary information.

2e) Parameter Data Sections - Immediately below the Information line are four Parameter Data sections. They correspond with the <1> through <4> knobs on the front panel. Each section displays the current value of the indicated Parameter.

A CC indicator in each group tells whether the indicated Parameter is set up to be continuously controlled. When a parameter has been modified, the Changed icon will appear under the parameter that has been modified and the <Store> button will light to indicate a change has been made to the Program, but not stored.

2f) Input Level / Clip Meters - An Input Level and Clip meter is located in the bottom center of the display. This meter shows the Preamp level, and uses a peak detector action to display the highest levels at the input. The Clip indicator at the end of the meter, indicates if the the input signal is being clipped at the analog input section (pre-digi- tal) or in the digital effects domain.

2g) Effect Routing Matrix - The Effect Routing Matrix shows the signal flow of the currently selected Program. This matrix includes boxes that represent each effect module along with lines that indicate how those effects are connected to inputs, outputs and each other. If an effect module is bypassed, a line appears through that module's box in the Matrix.

When in FX Edit mode, the box that represents the currently selected effect module will flash.

3)Input Jack - Plug Guitar in here.

4)Clip LED -The Clip LED Indicates that the input signal is causing input stage clipping in the 2112.

5)Input Level Knob - Controls the input level to the 2112.

6)Gain/Page Knob - Controls the Distortion Gain Parameter either locally or globally. Selection of either Global or Local mode can be found on Page 11 of the Utilities Menu.When the 2112 is in Edit mode, the Page knob is used to scroll through the pages of the selected Module.

7)Parameter knobs - Parameter knobs <1> thru <4> are used to:

•change the gain of the EQ (<1> - <3>) and the mix between the Wet and Dry signals (<4>) in Program Mode.The EQ and Mix modes can be set to either Local or Global modes on Page 1 of the Utilities.

•change the parameters you want to edit in FX Edit mode.

8)Program/Effect Wheel - Selects Programs (in Program Mode) or changes effect modules (in FX Edit Mode).

9)Program Button - Toggles between User and Factory banks. A successive press will also return the 2112 to Program mode.

10)Solo Button - Toggles the SOLO parameter On/Off.

11)Levels Button - Exits current mode and enters Levels mode.

12)Assign Button - Initiates the Assign Program function if Control One is connected and/or allows the modifier assignments to be made.

13)FX Edit Button - Exits current mode and enters FX Edit mode. A successive press will also return the 2112 to Program mode.

14)Store Button - Initiates Store function, indicates changed status.

15)Utility Button - Exits current mode and enters Utilities mode. A successive press will also return the 2112 to Program mode.

16)Bypass Button - Toggles Bypass status (On/Off).

17-23) FX Library Buttons:

17)[PreAmp] - Exits current mode and enters FX edit mode at the Preamp module. A second press enters the FX Edit mode and selects the first module of the PreAmp section. Successive presses move to the next available module in the PreAmp section.

18)[Mod] - Exits current mode, enters FX Edit mode and selects the first available Modulation module. Successive presses move to the next available Modulation module.

19)[Pch] - Exits current mode, enters FX Edit mode

and selects the first available PitchShift or Detune module. Successive presses move to the next available PitchShift or Detune module.

20)[Dly/Rvb] - Exits current mode, enters FX Edit mode and selects the first available Delay or Reverb module. Successive presses move to the next available Delay or Reverb module

21)[Other] - Exits current mode, enters FX Edit mode and selects the first available Digital Effect Modules not included in above selections. Successive presses move to the next available Digital Effect Module until finally reaching the Master Mix Module.

22)[TapIt] -The TapIt button is used to set the delay tap tempo for precise delay time taps.To use the TapIt button, simply press the TapIt button at the desired tempo and the delay module will automatically recalibrate the delay taps.

23)[Tuner] - Exits current mode and enters Tuner mode.

1)AC Line Input - Connect the supplied power cord here.

2)MIDI In - The MIDI In port allows the 2112 to respond to incoming MIDI messages, including Program Change, Continuous Control, and System Exclusive data.

3)MIDI Out/Thru - Sends out or passes any MIDI data generated by the 2112 to other devices.

4)Control One Input - This is a 5-pin DIN plug for connecting the optional DigiTech Control One foot controller. Connection of the Control One should be made before the 2112 is turned on.

IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT A MIDI PORT. CONNECTING A DEVICE OTHER THAN THE DIGITECH CONTROL ONE TO THE JACK CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT.

5)Expression Pedal Input - This 1/4” input jack gives you the option of connecting external voltage controlled continuous control pedal.

*Notice: When using the 2112 with the Control One foot controller, the 1/4 Expression Pedal input on the rear of the unit is referred to as EXP 3. When the 2112 is used alone, the Expression Pedal Input becomes known as EXP 1.

6)FX Loop Level Switch - This switch gives you the option of either standard level (switch out), or a 6 dB cut (switch in) in the fx loop level. This is great to use when inserting an FX pedal that may not have the same output level to keep the level even in the chain

7)FX Send - This is the effects loop mono send jack. Connect the input of an external effect device here.

The send gets its signal immediately following the Analog Wah module. It is a balanced-TRS connector.

8)FX Return - This is the effects loop return. It is fed back into the signal chain before the distortion section of the 2112.

9)Left/Mono Output - This is the left audio output. Use both left and right outputs when you are running in stereo mode. If you are running in mono mode, use the Left output. It is a balanced-TRS connector. Page 11 of the Utilities mode gives you the option to select either Stereo or Mono output modes.

10)Right Output - This is the right audio output for use when running in stereo mode.This is a balancedTRS connector.

11)AC fuse receptacle - Direct access to the fuse can be reached here.

GUITAR PREAMP

The 2112 offers world famous DigiTech Preamp tones that have become an absolute necessity in the Recording Studio or on Stage.

COMPRESSION: Every program of the 2112 has a dynamic range Compression circuit specially designed to be used in guitar applications.

DUAL DISTORTION PATHS: Now you really do have even more choices with the 2112’s distortions. Within the signal path of the 2112, you can select which distortion path the signal is routed through. Along with distortion path selection, you can also run the two in parallel, and morph between the two paths. And, if having these options were not enough, the 2112 gives you the ability to combine and pan both Distortion paths to the right and the left at the same time to produce “mammoth” guitar tones.

DUAL TUBES AND EQ: When the Dual Tube distortion tube path is selected, you have two 12XA7 preamp tubes at your tone disposal, as well as a dedicated 10-band graphic EQ. After the 10-Band EQ, the Dual Tube EQ path is run into the Speaker Cabinet Emulator, which can be placed before or after the digital effects section.

SOLID STATE AND EQ: With the Solid State distortion path selected, you get the versatility of solid state distortions along with the 10-band EQ. From here, the Solid State Distortion path is run into the Speaker Cabinet Emulator.

DIGITALLY CONTROLLED ANALOG WAH: Now you can

have vintage analog Wah effects at your finger tips and toes.The digitally controlled analog Wah produces true Wah tonal characteristics, while being controlled digitally, thus remaining quiet.

NOISE REDUCTION: With the Silencer II noise reduction system, you can hear a pick drop. Back ground noise in recordings will no longer be getting it’s “big chance” to go to tape with noise reduction of this caliber.

PROGRAMMABLE CABINET EMULATION: The days of

spending hours upon hours trying to mic' a speaker cabinet to get a good sound are now just a thing of the past with the Programmable Cabinet Emulation Module in the 2112. Whether it be live or in the studio, just about any speaker cabinet emulation is possible by simply running directly to the board, or to tape.

DIGITAL EFFECTS

When it comes to digital multi effects, Digitech’s reputation is second to none.We’ve been perfecting this art form for almost twenty years, so you know that the 2112 is loaded to the hilt with a pristine, ultra-quiet digital effect section.

EFFECTS INCLUDE:

•Digital EQ

•Noise Gates

•Reverbs

•Choruses

•Flangers

•Intelligent Pitch Shifters

•Chromatic Pitch Shifters

•Detuners

•Digital Delays

•Long Delays (lower-bandwidth for double delay times)

•Smooth Whammy

•Phasers

•Tremolos

•Auto Panners

•Rotary Speaker Emulation

UP TO 8 DIGITAL EFFECTS AT ONCE (DUAL S-DISC II

CONFIGURATIONS) When utilizing a dual S-DISC II configuration, you can link up to 8 digital effects at once from the vast effect palette.

SEAMLESS PROGRAM CHANGES (SINGLE S-DISC II

ALGORITHMS): Smooth program changes are a breeze with Seamless program changes.When a program change is made, there is no apparent “drop out” of signal. Along with no signal loss, you can also program the hold and release times so program effects overlap each other in turn, producing a morphing effect.

Setting and changing seamless program times can be done on Page 5 of the Master mix menu of each program in the Edit mode. Seamless program changes time range from 0.0 seconds to Infinity for both hold and Ramp times.

REAL TIME MODIFIERS: Modifiers are unique tools that can be used to dramatically alter your sound based on information from signal amplitude, the settings of a Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) or MIDI Continuous Controller information.

Every Program in the 2112 has a set of Modifiers. Up to 16 Modifier links can be assigned to control parameters.There are three types of Modifiers that can be linked to a parameter: MIDI CCs, LFOs, and Dynamic (signal level dependent).

MIDI CCs:When you use MIDI CCs, your 2112 responds to CC numbers 0-127 and CHP (channel pressure or aftertouch).

For example, you can have a synth's modulation wheel (usually MIDI CC#1) control the in level of a reverb and chorus in one program while the delay feedback may be controlled in another.

LFOs:When you use LFOs, parameter values can be controlled automatically between a defined minimum and maximum setting at a user-definable rate.Your 2112 has 2 user definable LFOs in each program that can be assigned to any Parameter.

For example, you can create an auto panner without using an auto panner module. Simply link an effect's output pan parameter to the LFO modifier and the LFO will move that parameter back and forth.This modifier can be a very useful weapon in the ongoing battle of new sound creation.There are two LFOs available in each program that can use unique speeds and waveforms.

DYNAMIC MODIFIERS: When you use Dynamic Modifiers, the Parameter values are controlled in relation to the dynamics of the input signal.The possibilities are nearly endless, and they cannot be duplicated using any other method.

For example, you could link the Dynamic Modifier of a Program to control a chorus level. It doesn't sound like much on paper, but imagine the expressiveness of this type of effect on a lead. As the dynamics of the music increase, the chorus becomes less apparent. Ease up on the solo a little and the chorus increases. ALL IN REAL TIME!

For more information on using modifiers see the “Using Modifiers” section. on page 47

THE SOLO BUTTON

How many times have you been on stage and your big solo comes up and that great Blues tone that you’re using for rhythm playing just needs to be louder. Unfortunately, your trusty sound man is trying to collect phone numbers in the lobby. Well don’t fret, you just kick in the Solo Button and you can become your own sound man.

What does this mean? The unique Solo Button feature when engaged (either via the Front panel control, or the optional Control One foot controller), will give you an additional 6dB of boost.This feature is also ideal to use in the studio (or live) to give you a little extra punch for solos.

To assign the Solo button function, simply press the <Solo> button then store. If you wish to link it to a footswitch, access can be made in Page 3 of the Master Mix menu in the Utilities menu.

BASIC SPECIFICATIONS

1 INPUT AND 2 OUTPUTS BALANCED (TRS)

With the 2112, the input and output are set up in a mono input and stereo or mono output configurations.The input jack of the 2112 is located on the front panel of the unit.The output jacks are TRS (tip-ring-sleeve), and are a Left (mono) and Right output configuration for full stereo separation of effects.

PROGRAMMABLE MONO FX LOOP

For those of you that feel the need to add additional effects to the already extensive menu of sounds , the 2112 provides a programmable line level mono programmable FX loop.The signal leaves the unit after the Wah section of the 2112 and returns just before the Dual distortion paths. For a better representation of the FX loop, please refer to the signal flow chart below.

SIGNAL FLOW

Listed below, is a chart showing the signal flow path of the 2112. Notice that with the 2112, you have the choice of selecting either one or both of the Distortion signal paths. Also take notice that a noise reduction system is available in the Analog Preamp section and the first DSP section, making for ultra-quiet performance.

CONTROL ONE COMPATIBILITY

The 2112 is an ideal stand alone multi effects processor, but to out-do ourselves, we have made the 2112 compatible to use with the legendary Control One foot controller.The optional Control One can help you maximize the potential of your 2112. Since the Control One “talks” to the 2112 using a proprietary communication protocol. It offers better response time and capabilities not available with conventional MIDI pedalboard controllers.

The Control One includes 12 footswitches for Program and Parameter control. It also features a built-in Expression pedal.The Control also gives you the option of adding another expression control (via the external expression pedal jack which is located on the front of the Control One footcontroller). Combined with the Expression controller insert (located on the rear panel of the 2112) this gives you a grand total of 3 Expression controllers in one box!. The large 20 character display constantly feeds you important information like program names, CC info, and tuner indicators.

2112 ARCHITECTURE

Your 2112 contains 224 Programs . . .

each program is comprised of up to 15 effect modules . . .

each effect module contains a number of default effects (“defaults”) . . .

each default is comprised of a number of different parameters.

It is IMPORTANT to make the distinction between parameters, defaults, modules and programs.Throughout this manual we will refer to “effects.” Depending upon the context, the word “effects” could refer to an Effects Program, an Effect Module within a Program, or the Default Effects within a Module.

EXAMPLE:

Program #4,“Electric 12-String”, is comprised of the following digital effect modules linked in series:

St. Pitch Shift	Quad Chorus	Reverb

•Within the Stereo Pitch Shifter module, there are 10 parameters which can be set to create and define the sound of a particular Stereo Pitch Shifter.

•After having tweaked the various parameters to create a particular Pitch Shifter effect, the parameter settings can be saved off as a “Default.”

•The Stereo Pitch Shifter module contains 12 different factory created Defaults that can be dialed up quickly and easily (see page 24 for a list of all the default effects).The Default Stereo Pitch Shifter effect that “Electric 12 String” uses is #F-4,“Octave Up.”

For more information on editing parameters and creating your own Defaults and Programs see Section 3-Editing Programs and Section 4-Editing Modules.

MODULE TYPES

There are three basic types of FX Modules:

•Mono

•Dual

•Stereo

The figure below illustrates what the signals do as they enter the Module. Although all three Modules are shown with stereo inputs, they can still be used with a mono source.The mono source would just be routed to both sides of the module’s inputs. Notice how the Dual FX Module maintains stereo compatibility while the mono FX Module always sums the signals together.

Mono FX Module	Dual FX Module	Stereo FX Module
Effect	Effect	Effect
Processing	Processing	Processing

MODULE SIZES

In order to achieve the nearly endless combinations of effects and routings, we've supplied you with four different module sizes:

•Whole (module type = FUL)

•3/4 (module type = 3-4)

•Half (module type = HLF)

•Quarter (module type = 4th)

Dividing each S-DISC II’s processing power is what allows your 2112 to handle up to 15 effects at one time.

The figure below represents how each S-DISC II can be divided to accommodate a wide variety of effect routing.

S-DISC II (A)

S-DISC II (B)

A Whole module type offers effects with more flexibility and power than the Half modules, and so on, but all four sizes of FX Modules feature very high quality effects, so you don’t have to worry if you need to divide the S-DISC II pie four ways.

For a complete list of these FX Types please see Editing Modules. For a complete list of effect configurations please see Appendix on page 64.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Because of its flexibility, your 2112 can be connected in several different ways to meet the requirements of specific applications.The following diagrams offer some ways your 2112 can be connected.

NOTE: In all the diagrams we have shown use of the external FX loop (this is of course, optional).

Stereo Power Amplifier

2112 INTO A STEREO POWER AMP

For those of you out there that feel that state of the art is a must, this is probably the 2112 set-up that would be best suited for your needs.

From the output jack of the guitar, run the cable into the Input jack on the front panel of the 2112. At this point (if you so choose) you can utilize the mono Fx loop of the unit by running out of the fx send of the 2112 into the desired unit being used. From there, run from the output (or send) of the chosen unit back into the Fx return jack of the 2112.

At this point, run out of both the Left and Right output jacks of the 2112 into the respective inputs of the stereo power amp. From the Stereo Power Amp, run out of the Left and Right outputs into the chosen speaker cabinets.

This is an ideal opportunity to see and hear how the Masters of Stereo Effects have outdone themselves in achieving mind-boggling stereo separation. Stereo Delays,

Phasers,Tremolos, and Auto panners will produce effects in this set-up that are simply out of this world.

When using a guitar system set-up such as this, it is always a good idea to make sure all connections are secure. Be sure to keep the levels of sending and receiving unit even so they do not have a tendency to clip (or distort) the inputs of each unit.

2112 INTO A PAIR OF COMBO AMPS

When vintage combo amps meet the the powerful processing world of the 2112, you just cannot help but get a great sound. More often than not, guitarists are hesitant to accept state of the art in signal processing, because they feel that they have to betray their beloved and trustworthy combo amps.With the 2112, this just simply is not the case. Using a set-up similar to the one shown above will give you the chance to optimize the potential of both the 2112 and the combo amplifiers.

The best signal route for a combination such as this one, is to first run out of the guitar output into the input jack of the 2112.Then, if you prefer to use an additional effect unit in the signal path, you can utilize the programmable mono fx loop of the 2112. In doing this, you will want to run from the fx send of the 2112 into the selected effect unit. From the chosen effect unit, run out of either its output or Fx send back into the fx return of the 2112. From the 2112, you will now want run out of both the left and right outputs of the 2112 into the input jacks of both Combo Amps.

You will be able to achieve lush, smooth stereo effects, while retaining the great amp tones of both the 2112 and the Combo Amps. So, in sense, you can have your tweed cake and eat it too.

As usual, make sure that all of the connections are good and solid when making the connections. It is also a good idea to make sure that the signal levels going from one unit to the other are even. Meaning that the output level going into the input of the receiving unit is not set so high that it distorts (or clips) the input section. Always remember that the better your rig sounds clean, the better your 2112 will sound.

2112 RUNNING DIRECT WITH THE

Now that you have the indispensible Programmable Cabinet Emulator of the 2112, chances are pretty good that you are not going to want to be spending those funfilled hours of the past by doing the ole’ Microphone Placement two-step.

To use the Programmable Speaker Cabinet Emulator, simply enter the Edit mode of the selected Program and scroll to Page 2 of the Master Mix menu. From here, the 2112 gives you the options of activating the Cabinet Emulator, selecting defaults and/or placing the Cabinet Emulator either Pre Digital (Preamp Only), or Post Digital (the whole signal path is included).These selections can be made by using the <2> or <3> knobs.

So let’s cut out the middleman (speaker cabinet), and run from the guitar output into input jack of the 2112. From this point, you now have the option of utilizing the Programmable Mono Fx loop that is offered in the 2112.

PROGRAMMABLE CABINET EMULATOR

To use the Fx loop, run from the Fx send of the 2112, into either input or Fx return of the selected effects unit. Now, run out of either the output or the Fx send of the chosen unit back into the Fx return of the 2112.

At this point , you will want to run from either Left or Right outputs (or both for a stereo mix), into the selected inputs of the Mixer.

As usual, it is a good idea to check all of the cables being used when making connections to ensure that good contact is being made.

Notice that once the Programmable Speaker Cabinet

Emulator is turned On, the Speaker icon will appear in the display and will appear as follows:

GETTING AROUND IN THE OPERATING SYSTEM

The menu structure of your 2112 has been specially designed to be easy to use.The display shows the information you need, but to make things even easier for you, illumination of the front panel buttons offers additional operating information.

THE FRONT PANEL BUTTONS give you information in one of two ways:

1 - If the button is dim, its function is INACTIVE. Pressing an a dim button causes it to light brightly and its function becomes the active item in the display. If the dim button doesn’t light after you press it, the button is unavailable.

2 - If the button is bright, its function is ACTIVE. Pressing an active button (other than the <Program> button) reselects the already active item in the display.

PROGRAM MODE

Program mode allows you to scroll through the Factory and User Programs using the Program/Effect Wheel. When your 2112 is turned on, it sets itself to Program mode. Program mode is active when the <Program> button is lit and a Program name is present on the Information line (top line) of the display.

FX EDIT MODE

This mode allows you to edit:

1. FX Modules

2.The Modifier Module

3.The Output Mode Module of your Programs

Use the <Edit> button to enter the FX Edit mode and then to select the next module for editing.

A helpful hint: If you look at the Effect Routing Matrix while you press the FX <Edit> button, the currently selected module will flash.

Your 2112 uses “Pages” to navigate within an effect. A “Page” is a group of up to four effect Parameters that appear on the screen at one time. Use the <Gain/Page> knob to move through the Pages in the menu. Note that as you scroll through the Pages, the Page indicator in the lower left corner of the display changes to show the currently displayed Page number.

UTILITIES MODE

From the initial power-up of the unit, access to all of the menu pages of the utility mode can be made by simply pressing the <Utilities> button located on the front panel of the unit. From this point, the display will tell you that you are in the Utilities library and you can scroll through the options of the utilities menu by simply turning the <Page> knob.

LEVELS MODE

and Master levels can be made by simply pressing the <Levels> button to access the levels menu, then you make the adjustments until your ears and level indicators are happy.

ASSIGN MODE

Once the 2112 is in assign mode, all modifier assignments can be made from this point. Ranging anywhere from program numbers to modifier links to the Wah module.

Access to this function is located on the front panel or in the utilities pages within the 2112.

OUTPUT MODULE FUNCTIONS

The Output Module of the 2112 gives you assignment control over crucial aspects of your sounds.The Menus of the Output Module include: Master Mix (Page 1), Cabinet Emulator Settings (Page 2), Solo button assignment (Page 3),Volume pedal assignment (Page 4) and Seamless Program Time changes (Page 5).

To access the Output Module of the 2112, from Program mode press either the <Edit> button and use the <Program/Effect> and turn either counter or clockwise until the shows the Master Mix Module. If you wish to cut out a step or two in this process, simply press the <Other> button until the display shows the Master Mix Module as well.

Once you are at the Master Mix Module, you simply use the <Page> knob to move to the various editing pages of the Output Module.

To leave the Output Module section , simply press the <Program> button. Always make sure to store any changes made to the selected Program.

GETTING SOUNDS

It never fails, there always seems to be a sound man at the back of the room, or an engineer in the control room that wants “more of this, or less of that” (bottom line: your ear is king). But, to accommodate these situations, you may need to make some minor adjusting here and there along the way. So here are some helpful guidelines for getting great sounds, while keeping everyone happy.

INPUT AND OUTPUT ADJUSTMENTS

For all you Nigel Tuffnels out there, the 2112 really can go to 100, if that is the sound you require. But we at Digitech suggest that you keep it a little lower than that (we would prefer that you purchase our products instead of hearing aids).The best setting for the input control is to use the <Input> knob so you have strong signal coming into the 2112 occasionally lighting the clip LED. As far as setting the Output level, let your ears be the judge. But, if you can’t hear the rest of the band, chances are that you need to back off on the Output level of the 2112 or the input of your amplifier(s).

GAIN ADJUSTMENTS

To adjust the gain in the Tube or Distortion section, either turn the <Gain> knob on the front panel or press the <Edit> button to put you in Edit mode. Now use the <Program/Effect> wheel to scroll to the Tube or Distortion module. From this point, turn the <Page> knob to move to Page 2 of 2 of the Tube or Distortion module.The number of different preamp tones are almost unlimited when making gain adjustments.Your gain settings range from 0 to 100, so this gives you plenty of room for great tones in between.

EQ AND MIX ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting the global EQ is as easy as grabbing the knob and turning. Knob <1> controls the level of the bass frequencies, knob <2> controls the level of the mids, and knob <3> controls the highs. In Program mode the level of each frequency band is displayed on the screen. Global EQ settings range from -12 to 12. For more information on the Global/Local EQ and Mix, see page 29.

WET/DRY MIX ADJUSTMENTS

To change the mix of dry and wet signal use knob <4>. Mix settings range from 0 (all dry) to 100% (all wet).The Mix knob really comes in handy when playing live because the acoustics of any room will change throughout a gig due to changes in crowd size, humidity, temperature, the dreaded gig gremlins, or whatever. As the room acoustics change, you can easily adjust the level of your effects accordingly with the turn of a knob.The Master Mix of each program can be modified in the Master Mix menu while in edit mode by either pressing the <Edit> button then scrolling through the program pages. Or, simply press the <Other> button until this menu is reached.

PROGRAM LEVELS

To adjust the overall level of a program push the <LEVELS> button.Then use the <1> Knob to either bypass or activate the Tube or Solid State levels. At this point, you now want to use the <2> knob to adjust the level of the selected distortion. From here, you will now want to use the <3> knob to set the DSP level. Last but not least, knob <4>.This controls the Master output. All of the these level range from 0 (off) to 100%.

USING THE TUNER

When using the Tuner of the 2112, it can be accessed one of two ways. Either by pressing the <Tuner> button on the front panel or using the optional Control One foot controller.The following, explains both modes of operation.

• As you play a note on the guitar, the indicator in the display of the Control One will move either to the right, or the left. If the indicator is moving right, the note you are playing is sharp. If the indicator moves left, you are flat.The goal is to tune your guitar so that the indicator stops in the middle and the display locks-in, indicating you are in tune.

•In both methods of tuning, the tuner is referenced to A=440Hz. If you prefer tuning sharp or flat according to the A reference, use the <3> knob to select a new reference.This can be set as high as A=453Hz or as low as A=427Hz. The tuner can also be used for alternate tuning references where A=Ab (meaning you play an A note, but you hear an Ab note). It is possible to tune as low as A=Gb.

•At this point, press any footswitch on the Control One to exit the Tuner mode.

STORING/NAMING PROGRAMS

Before we get into editing programs and creating your own, let’s learn how to store changes so you won’t lose any modifications you’ll want to keep.The Store procedure allows you to rename, relocate and save any modifications you have made to Programs so that they can be accessed easily later.

• Press the <Store> button once.The display shows the current Program name (which may look something like this):

NAMING THE PROGRAM

•Using the <Program/Effect> wheel, change the character to the one you want in the selected position.

•When the correct character is displayed in that position, use the <Page> knob to scroll the cursor to the next character you want to change.

•Use <1> knob to change the letter’s case.The <2> knob is used to select numbers,The <3> knob is used to insert spaces.The <4> knob is used to copy and paste characters.

•To copy a character, position the cursor under the character you want to copy (using the <Page> knob), then turn the <4> knob clockwise.To paste the copied character, position the cursor where you want to paste the character, then turn the <4> knob counter-clockwise.

•To abort the procedure, push either the <Program> button to take you to Program Mode, the <Edit> button to take you to FX Edit Mode, or the <Utilities> button to take you to Utility Mode, depending upon

which mode you want to enter.

STORING THE PROGRAM

•When you have the name how you want it, press the <Store> button again.The top line of the display reads:

Store To: [Program Name]

This screen allows you to select the location of the new Program. Note that when the Program is stored, it is stored in the User bank of Programs because Factory Programs cannot be overwritten.

•Use the <2> knob or the Program/Effect wheel to select the Program number where you want to store the new Program.

•Press <Store> again.The top line of the display briefly

reads:

after which you are taken to the Program you just stored.

The newly created Program is now loaded, and can now be recalled at any time.

which mode you want to enter.

EDITING A PROGRAM

It is extremely easy to create custom Effect Programs because your 2112 gives you access to a complete library of professionally developed default effects (“Defaults”).

• From Program mode, press the <Pitch> button.The display looks something like this:

When you enter FX Edit mode, the first page of every FX Module allows you to:

1)Bypass that effect module (by turning it on or off) using the <1> knob.

2)Select an Effect Module (Only in the Digital Effect section), using the <2> knob.

3)Store the Default using the <3> knob (for more info on storing Defaults, see pg. 21)

4)Select a Default for the selected Effect Module using the <4> knob.

CHANGING EFFECT MODULES

Each program can be comprised of up to eight digital effects (in addition to the Preamp section).You can scroll through the modules in each program two different ways:

1.By pressing the <Edit> button to enter FX Edit mode and using the <Program/Effect> wheel to scroll through the different modules, or

2.By using the FX Library buttons. Pressing the <Preamp> button takes you directly to the first module in the preamp section. Subsequent pushes will scroll you through the successive modules in the preamp section. Likewise, pushing the <Dly/Rvb> button takes you directly to the first module in the Digital FX section which has a delay or reverb loaded in it. Subsequent pushes of the button scrolls you through subsequent modules that are loaded with a delay or reverb (assuming there are more delays or reverbs loaded in the program of course.)

Once you reach a module you want to change (ie: you want to swap a delay for a reverb), use the <2> knob to select a new effect.

SELECTING A DEFAULT

Once you have selected the effect you want in the program (ie: StDual Reverb), you can quickly scroll through several different StDual Reverb defaults stored in your 2112's library.

EXAMPLE:

There are 7 Stereo Pitch Shifter defaults to choose from. Some Factory Programs use these Default settings. So, if you like the Pitch shifter that is being used in Factory Program #4, and would like to use it in Program #98, simply scroll to the Stereo Pitch Shifter module, then use the <4> knob to recall the default (which happens to be F4-Octave Up) in Program #4. This eliminates the need to copy all those parameters from one location to the other.

For a list of all the FX Modules and their Defaults, see page 23-27.

ADJUSTING THE MODULE’S LEVEL

Once in Edit Mode, the parameters of every default module can be accessed through a series of pages.You adjust the level of a particular module from Edit page 2. If you’re not already in Edit Mode, press the <Edit> button.You can then use the <Program/Effect> wheel to scroll to the module you want to change (ie: St Pitch). Using the <Page> knob, scroll to page 2. You can now change the individual module’s level using the <1> knob. Settings range from 0 (off) to 100%.

CUSTOM DEFAULTS

Once you have tweaked the parameters of an effect Module, you can store it off as part of the program. Once it is stored off, it becomes a custom default for that program, but is not added to the User default library.To save the settings as User Defaults, please see pg. 21

COMPARING CHANGES

During the course of editing Programs, you may find that you want to compare the edited version of the Program to the original, stored version. Fortunately, your 2112 provides you with this valuable A/B feature in the Compare function.

To compare an edited Program with the original Stored version, do the following:

• While in FX Edit Mode, press the <Edit> button once.The top line of the display reads:
