Output Jack Operation; Making Connections And Applying Power - DigiTech SDRUM Owner's Manual

Output Jack Operation

The output jacks have an auto-sensing feature that allows the SDRUM to automatically optimize the outputs
for the application. The table below describes how the SDRUM will operate depending on which outputs are
connected.

Making Connections and Applying Power

To connect the SDRUM pedal:
1.
Turn down the guitar amp. If connecting to a mixer, turn down the gain/trim controls and lower the faders
on the channels to which you are connecting.
2.
Make all connections to the SDRUM as shown in 'Connection Diagrams' on page 8.
3. Connect the included HARMAN power adapter to the SDRUM POWER input connector, then connect the
other end to an available AC outlet and wait for the SDRUM to boot.
4.
Turn the guitar volume all the way up, strum the guitar, and then gradually increase the guitar amp volume
until the desired level is achieved. If using a mixer, set the channel faders to unity (0), then raise the gain/
trim controls while tapping the KICK/SNARE pads for the desired level. Set the LEVEL knob to 12 o'clock.
Output Jack Operation
A mono mix of the guitar and drum signal will be sent to the AMP OUT jack.
Complementary equalization will be applied to the drum signal to make it
sound better when played through a guitar amp.
NOTE: When using a guitar amp to play the drums from the SDRUM, set
the amp to run as cleanly as possible in order to avoid distorting the drums.
The drums are pre-EQ'd to sound best through a clean amp with "flat" EQ
settings. If using guitar effects and/or a looper, they should be placed before
the SDRUM when using only the AMP OUT jack.
The drum and guitar signals will be mixed and sent to the MIXER OUT jacks.
If only the left (mono) MIXER OUT jack is connected, the guitar/drum mix
will be mono. If the left and right MIXER OUT jacks are connected, the guitar
signal will be mono and the drum signal will be stereo.
NOTE: The SDRUM does not apply cabinet simulation to the guitar signal.
This allows an acoustic or bass guitar to be used when only the MIXER OUT
jacks are connected.
The guitar signal will be fed to the AMP OUT jack only. The drum signal will
be sent to the MIXER OUT jacks in mono (if only the MIXER OUT L jack is
used) or stereo (if both MIXER OUT jacks are used). If using guitar effects and/
or a looper, they can be placed before or after the SDRUM when using both
the AMP OUT and MIXER OUT jacks.
