These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the unit. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening the chassis for any reason will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not get the unit wet. If liquid is spilled on the unit, shut it off immediately and take it to a dealer for service. Disconnect the unit during storms to prevent damage.
WARNING FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
WATER AND MOISTURE: Appliance should not be used near water (e.g. near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc). Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
POWER SOURCES: The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.
POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
SERVICING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, the user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
FOR UNITS EQUIPPED WITH EXTERNALLY ACCESSIBLE FUSE RECEPTACLE: Replace fuse with same type and rating only.
U.K. MAINS PLUG WARNING
A moulded mains plug that has been cut off from the cord is unsafe. Discard the mains plug at a suitable disposal facility. NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD YOU INSERT A DAMAGED OR CUT MAINS PLUG INTO A 13 AMP POWER SOCKET. Do not use the mains plug without the fuse cover in
place. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local retailer. Replacement fuses are 13 amps and MUST be ASTA approved to BS1362.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE FOR CUSTOMERS IF YOUR UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER CORD.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCEMUST BE EARTHED.
The cores in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN and YELLOW - Earth BLUE - Neutral BROWN - Live
As colours of the cores in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The core which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E, or with the earth symbol, or coloured green, or green and yellow.
• The core which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• The core which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the available power source at installation. If the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified service personnel who should refer to the table below. The green/yellow wire shall be connected directly to the unit's chassis.

Section-2 Operation and Editing
This section will provide you with all of the information necessary to get the most out of your S-100.
Program Mode
When the S-100 is in program mode, you can move from one program to the next by either using the <Program/Data> wheel, the optional Digitech FS-300 footswitch or incoming MIDI program change commands from another device such as a sequencer or keyboard.
When the S-100 is in edit mode and you wish to abort and return to program mode, simply press the <Program> button.
Storing Changes
When a program has been modified, the program number will blink in the number display when the unit is in program mode. To store changes, press the <Store> button once. The display alternates between st and the user program location to be stored to. This simply means that S-100 is now giving you the option to store this modified version of the program as a user program at any number from 1 to 99. At this point, you may use the <Program/Data> wheel to change the storing position to another program number. When the target preset location (shown in the display) is correct, press the <Store> button once again. The display will momentarily read: indicating that the modified program is being stored.

Selecting Effect Configurations
The S-100 provides you with five different effect configurations that allow you ultimate flexibility and versatility in effect routing. The five configurations appear on the front panel as follows:
Effect Module Size
Effect Configuration 1 uses one effect module because both processing engines are combined for maximum processing power. This larger module allows you to have longer delay times and more dense sounding reverbs. Effect configurations 2-5 use Half size effect modules which allow you to use two effects per program

User Guide
Of
C1
S-100
To select any one of these five different configurations, simply perform the following procedure:
• Press the <Config> button and the display will briefly read: CF indicating that you are in the configuration select mode and now the display will appear something like this:
• Now turn the <Program/Data> wheel until the desired configuration appears (C1-5) in the display.
• To exit the Effect configuration menu, simply press the <Program> button where the display will flash the program
number until the program change is stored or until you change to the next program.
Section -2 Operation and Editing
Adjusting the Dry Path Global Mix
This editing procedure will allow you to globally turn a Dry signal path Off for use with a mixing consoles' effects sends or On for use with single instrument input signals (such as guitar, saxophone and others). The procedure is as follows:
• To edit the Dry signal within the effect configuration of the S-100 (turning it On or Off), press the <Mix/MIDI> button
once and the display will briefly read: dr indicating the dry path mix and then On, indicating that the Dry signal is on. If you wish to turn the dry path off, simply turn the <Program/Data> wheel counter clockwise and the display will now read:
• This now indicates that the Dry signal has been turned Off creating a 100% Wet signal globally in the S-100. To exit this
mode, press the <Program> button.
Note: The Dry path will automatically be turned off when either a Tremolo, Panner, Vocoder, Compressor, Rotary
Speaker or Reverse Reverb effect is used in a program, since the dry signal is already included in these
effects.

S-100
The S-100 also offers an additional menu of hard to find effects including: a Vocoder effect which takes a vocal signal (using
the Left input) and superimposes it onto another input signal such as a keyboard (using the Right input) to produce a vocal
effect that sounds more robotic than human. This menu also provides you with a Ring modulator that can produce mathe-
matically-based harmonic effects. And last but not least, we have also included a state-of-the-art Compressor that is ideal for
making any signal stand out with the right amount of compression. The parameters for these effects are as follows:
Frequency This parameter sets the modulation frequency of the Ring Modulator
Threshold This parameter sets threshold level of the compressor. Range is 60 to 0.
Ratio This parameter sets the compressor ratio. Range is from 1 to 19

Gain This parameter allows you to set the overall gain of the selected effect.
Type This parameter allows you to select the different types of Vocoder effect
Sibilance This parameter allows you to set the amount of Essing that is passed
Level This parameter allows you to set the overall level of the selected effect.
