The Oscillator Devices Garbage Collector is both a MIDI controllable expression pedal and footswitch combined in one device.
Effects devices with expression pedal inputs or inputs for external foot switches (e.g. tap tempo on guitar pedals) can be controlled
automatically by the Garbage Collector via MIDI. It can emulate either a foot switch with tip and ring or an expression pedal on both
outputs. The Garbage Collector can be synced to MIDI clock, allowing time-based effects to sync to either tap tempo or LFO
waveforms. The MIDI channel is selectable and complex switching functions can be combined in presets.
• TRS: 1/4 '' stereo jack sockets. When used as switch, the tip and ring are open and close
individually to the sleeve. As an expression out, the wiper is on the tip and connected to the
sleeve and ring via the potentiometer. If the expression function is activated via MIDI
command, the switch is automatically deactivated. If the switch is used, the expression
function is automatically deactivated.
• LED: Associated LEDs. With the switch function, the LEDs light up whenever the contact is
closed. The green LED lights up whenever the tip is connected to the sleeve, the red LED lights
up whenever the ring is connected to the sleeve. When using the expression function, the LED on the heel position lights up
green, becomes darker towards the middle position and begins to light up red towards the toe position.
• Power: Power supply 9-18V. 2.1mm barrel connector, center negative. This corresponds to the standard "Boss-Style" power
supply. Current consumption maximum 70mA.
• Config Switch: A switch recessed in the housing for setting the MIDI channel (see MIDI Channel section) or for testing the
functions without a MIDI controller. If the switch is pressed shortly while the device is switched on, tip, ring and tip+ring are
closed in sequence. If the switch is held, the expression
function is activated and it is slowly moved from heel to toe
and back again.
• MIDI In/Thru: 1/8" stereo jack sockets according to MIDI
standard for MIDI TRS (MIDI TRS-Type A).
Please disconnect all devices from the power supply, before making any connections.

- Page 2 TRS1 TRS2 inside must be switched to the off position. This isolates the digital potentiometer from the circuit. In addition, the sleeve of the socket is separated from GND. In this way the switches of the Garbage Collector EXP On are completely isolated and can be used as an amp switcher, for example.
