Dod FX12 User Manual

WHAT THE FX12 DOES

The FX12 Tuner pedal is DOD’s answer to all of the
prayers of musicians who have been on a dark stage,
or at a recording session and out of tune with no
place to go. Those days are gone thanks to the FX 12
Tuna pedal. The FX 12 will tell you what note you are
playing and if that note is flat. The FX12 also has a
Precision Tune LED graph to let you know how
sharp or flat the current note being played is.

CONNECTING THE FX12

Connect your guitar to the input of the FX12.
Connect the OUTPUT of the FX12 to your amp (or to
the input of another effects device). To eliminate the
need for a 9-volt battery, attach the DOD PS200R to
the AC adapter jack. The PS200R is a regulated sup­ply that will not allow hum into the pedal.

FEATURES

• LED indicator shows status of effect and
battery condition

• Active switching for noiseless operation

• Easy access battery compartment

• Adapter jack for AC operation

• Rugged die-cast metal case

• Three year limited warranty

• Rubber non-skid bottom

CONTROLS

NOTE INDICATOR: The large (brightly lit) display in
the upper left corner will tell you what note you are
playing. When the note being played is flat, the bLED
will indicate which note it is.

PRECISION TUNE LEDs: The 7 precision tuning LEDs
will tell you how sharp or flat the note being played
iswith a range from -32 cents to +32 cents. When
tuning, the LEDs on the left will indIcate that the cur­rent note is flat and the LEDs on the right will indicate
that the note is sharp. The closer the LEDs light to the
center, the closer the note is to being in tune

FOOTSWITCH: Switches the TUNER effect in or out of
the signal path.

LED INDICATOR: Lights when the TUNER is enabled,
and is not lit when the TUNER is bypassed.

INPUT JACK: Insert for instrument.

AC JACK: AC Adapter (use the DOD PS200R power

supply only to eliminate the need for a 9 volt battery).

BYPASS OUT JACK: When this ouput jack is selected,
signal will continue to pass through the FX 12 when in
tuner mode.

OUTPUT JACK: When this output is selected, the sig­nal will be muted when the FX 12 is in tuner mode

OPERATION OF THE FX12

The FX12 can be operated in front of an amplifier or in
an effects loop. It should be noted that for the most
accurate tune, the FX should be run first in the chain
of effects. Since the order of the effects is very impor­tant, they should be ordered as follows: 1)FX12 Tuna,

2) compression effects (DOD FX84), 3) Wah/volume
and envelope filters (DOD FX17, FX25), 4) Distortion
effects or preamps (DOD FX51, FX69), 5) EQ’s (DOD
FX40), 6) chorus, flanging, phasing, vibrato (DOD
FX64, FX75, FX20, FX747), 7) Delay and reverb effects
(DOD DFX94).

IMPORTANT NOTES

• The FX12 battery is in use whenever the
INPUT jack is plugged in. If you are not
using the FX12, be sure to unplug the
cable from INPUT jack. This will prevent
unnecessary battery drain.

• Remove the battery whenever the unit is
not going to be used for an extended
period of time. This will prevent possible
damage due to leaking battery fluids.

• If the FX12 fails to switch in or out or the
Note Indicator goes blank, the battery
needs to be replaced. Replace the bat­tery immediately.

• Use of any AC adapter other than the
DOD PS200R will void the warranty of
this product.

• Unauthorized repair of the FX12 will void
the warranty. Should your FX12 require
service, contact your DOD FX pedal dealer
for return / repair information.
