providing a cleaner signal path. Conversely, lower power voltages can cause an effect
pedal to clip at lower signal levels, causing the pedal to add additional distortion and/or
compression to the signal. This lowering of the supplied power voltage is referred to as
"voltage sag". Typically, sag-voltages are only ever applied to overdrive, fuzz, and distortion
type effect pedals and not modulation and time-based effect pedals (as you typically want
these type of effects to be as clean as possible). Power outputs 9 and 10 on the V-10
Power Block allow for variable control of the power voltage (between 5 and 9 volts). This
allows for experimentation with raising or lowering the supplied power voltage to pedals
which are compatible with a varying range of operating voltages.
WarNiNg! Not all analog pedals allow for operation at different power voltages and may be
damaged if you attempt to do so. If this is something you would like to experiment with, you
will want to check the pedal's user guide or contact the pedal manufacturer to verify whether
or not the pedal can be operated at different power voltages and what the safe voltage range
is. DigiTech assumes no responsibility or liability for equipment damaged by improper use of this
power supply.
Once the recommended power voltage or voltage range for each pedal is known, enter
this information into the "Pedal Requirements Reference Table" provided on page 22.
