INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, and thank you for your purchase of the DOD Dimension3. You
have just purchased the greatest sounding multi-effects box with the least complicated operating system made. There’s an effect for all applications and they’re
all at your finger tips with the simple turn of a knob. You can have the perfect
sound in a matter of seconds. There’s nothing complicated about the Dimension3.
Select an effect and dial it up.
INSTALLATION
Rear Panel
Install the Dimension3 in a rack using conventional rack screws. Route the AC
power cord away from audio lines and plug into a convenient outlet. The left and
right inputs are used for a stereo line level source (such as mixer or preamp outputs). If the source is mono, use the Left Input jack only.
OPERATION
Front Panel
The Input knob controls the amount of signal that enters the Dimension3. The
Output knob controls the amount of signal that exits the Dimension3. The Mix
knob adjusts the effect-to-original signal ratio. Adjust the Input Knob until the Clip
LED briefly lights when signal peaks are reached. The signal LEDs indicate signal
is present at the input. Adjust the Output and Mix Knobs to desired settings.
After adjusting the Input, Output, and Mix knobs, determine which effect you want
to use. Use the Effect dial to select the effect, and dial up the effect that is most
fitting to your needs. Selecting BYPASS (optional DOD FS300 footswitch) will
mute the effect signal. After selecting an Effect , you can adjust the available parameters using the Parameter knobs.
FX Bank
*In addition to Bypass the optional FS300 footswitch also provides control of all
the effects that have a speed parameter. It will allow you to switch between the
default lowest setting, and the highest knob setting. This function increases real
time playability dramatically. Switching between settings in the Rotary speaker
effect causes the speeds and doppler shift to ramp between the two settings.
This effect must be heard to be appreciated.

ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE - NE PAS OUVRIR
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE
These symbols are internationally accepted symbols that warn of potential hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash means that there are dangerous voltages present within the unit. The exclamation point indicates that it is
necessary for the user to refer to the owner’s manual.
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.
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 CIRCUM-
STANCES SHOULD YOU INSERT ADAMAGED 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 APPLIANCE MUST 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.
