EarthQuaker Devices Data Gorrupter Operation Manual

<<< Tracking >>>
This device should be placed close to front of your signal chain and before any delay, reverb or
modulation effect. While it will work with most bridge pickups, the neck pickup will provide the
best tracking results. Precise picking and single notes will track quickly and cleanly. Chords and
sloppy playing will result in chaos. There is no control over the amount of gain because it really
needs to be fine-tuned to properly track. Weak signals (like backing off on the guitar volume) will
lead to poor tracking and gating.
<<< Flexi-Switching >>>
This device features Flexi-Switch Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style
™
allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching-style switching.
• For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap
again to bypass.
• For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you'd like to use the effect.
Once you release the switch, the effect will be bypassed.
Since the switching is relay-based, it requires power to pass signal.
<<< Power Requirements >>>
• Current Draw: 26mA
• This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We
always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple
isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power.
Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter
dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
