Overview

Pigtronix Infinity 2 is a stereo looping pedal with two independent loops and a
streamlined user interface that has been designed to provide an intuitive musical
workflow, right out of the box. The Infinity 2 enables musicians to seamlessly
switch between parts, even during initial recording or while overdubbing. This
Verse/Chorus type of workflow is further expanded by the ability to delete the loop
that is not currently playing—freeing up an open slot for a new loop to be created,
without interrupting playback. Many actions taken by the Infinity 2 occur at the
loop boundary. This allows the musician to cue an overdub, switch between loops
or stop at the end of a loop, without having to worry about hitting the footswitch
at precisely the correct time. Simply tell the machine what to do and the selected
action will occur at the end of the current loop.

Loop 1 Footswitch

Press to record.

Press again to close the loop.

Press again to start overdub at the beginning of the next loop cycle.

Double-tap to stop.

Double-tap and Hold to erase.

Long-press on initial record sends Loop straight to overdub when closed.

When a loop has been recorded but is stopped, pressing the Loop 1 footswitch will resume
playback from the beginning of the loop.

Loop 2 Footswitch

The pair of loops in the Infinity 2 are set to play in series for Verse/Chorus type arrangements.

The Loop 2 footswitch controls the looping actions for Loop 2, and functions the same way
as the Loop 1 footswitch (see above).

Pressing Loop 2 while Loop 1 is recording will cause Loop 1 to close and Loop 2 to begin
recording or playback immediately.

Pressing Loop 2 while Loop 1 is playing back will cause Loop 2 to begin recording or playback
at the end of Loop 1.

Pressing Loop 2 while Loop 1 is overdubbing will cause Loop 2 to begin recording or playback
at the end of Loop 1.

Pressing and holding the Loop 2 footswitch during initial recording will send Loop 2 straight
into overdub when the loop is closed.

All of these same rules apply to Loop 1.

It is possible to cancel a pending transition between loops by pressing the footswitch of the
currently playing loop.

LED colors

OFF = no audio recorded

RED = Recording

GREEN = Playback

ORANGE = Overdubbing

Blinking RED = Recording will start at loop boundary

Blinking GREEN = Playback will start at loop boundary

Blinking ORANGE = Overdub will start at loop boundary

Slow Blinking GREEN = Loop is stopped, audio is present

Volume Knob

This knob controls the volume of loop audio only. Unity gain is located at 12:00.

Decay Knob

For typical looper performance, keep the DECAY knob set fully clockwise.

This knob controls the rate of loop decay during overdub.

With the Decay knob set fully clockwise, overdubs pile up at full volume. With the Decay
knob set fully counter-clockwise, each overdub lasts for only one loop cycle.

With the Decay knob set anywhere between those extremes, overdubbing on the Infinity 2
creates constantly evolving loop textures that can be instantly snapped back to a previous
state using the Undo function.
