Congratulations!
You have just purchased a DigiTech® digital effect pedal.
Unlike many analog pedals, the number of hours digital pedals can be powered
with 9-Volt alkaline batteries is limited due to the constant draw which digital
signal processors require. Until battery technology advances to meet the
requirements of digital pedals, we suggest that a battery be used mainly for
demonstration and practice purposes.
If you notice a change in the LED’s brightness, or the pedal will not switch from
Bypass to Effect, replace the battery with a new 9-Volt alkaline battery or visit
your local DigiTech dealer to obtain the optional power adapter and unleash the
pedal’s full potential with unlimited power.
Introduction
More than a remarkable achievement, DigiTech’s HardWire® series represents
a collection of significant improvements in guitar effects pedals.The HardWire
series pedals provide a suite of well-known effects, each with superior tone
and control. But these pedals go above and beyond their peers, providing such
distinguishing features as true bypass, high voltage operation and true stereo
processing with genuine Lexicon® reverbs, making them essential additions to the
signal chain of players who know about sound quality and demand the utmost in
performance.

What Does This Do?
1. Mix Knob - Controls the reverb level.Turn this knob clockwise to
increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the reverb level.
2. DC Adapter Jack - Connect the optional power supply to this jack.
Use the proper supply for your area’s mains line voltage.
3. Liveliness Knob - Controls the amount of high frequency response
in the Reverb’s effect signal.Turn this knob clockwise to increase and
counter-clockwise to decrease the high frequencies.
4. Decay Knob - Controls the length of time it takes for the Reverb to
fade out.Turn this knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to
decrease the reverb decay time.
5. Type Knob - Selects one of 7 Lexicon® reverbs:
• plate -The classic studio reverb heard on countless hit records.
• plate mod - Plate reverb sweetened with chorus.
• shimmer - Ethereal reverb with cascading octave shifts.
3
• supernova - Deep space reverb with twisting flange and pitch
shifting.
• shine - Shimmer reverb with a thick lush chorus added.
• pherb - Rich Lexicon Hall reverb with a hint of phasing.
• spring -The unmistakable classic ‘surf’ reverb.
6. Input 1 (Mono) - Connect your instrument, the output of a pedal, or
an amp effects send to this jack. Signals are heard at both outputs when
only the Input 1 (Mono) jack is used.This jack enables battery power to
the pedal when connected.To prolong battery life, disconnect the cable
from the Input 1 (Mono) jack when not in use. If the optional Harman
power supply is used, cables can remain connected.
7. Input 2 - Connect a second input to this jack for stereo operation.
Inputs 1 and 2 are processed separately through the Stereo Reverb
effect then fed to Outputs 1 and 2 keeping true stereo separation
between channels.

8. Foot Switch Release Pins -These two pins are spring loaded
hinges that hold the Foot Switch in place. See page 10 for information
on accessing and changing the battery. See page 6 for more information
about using and changing theTails Switch settings.
9. Indicator LED - Lights when the effect is turned on.When battery
power is low (approximately 15 minutes), the Indicator LED begins to
dim giving you advanced warning that very shortly you will need to
replace the battery.

11. Output 1 (Mono) - Connect this output to the input of a single
guitar amplifier or amp effects return.
12. Output 2 - Connect this output to the input of a second guitar
amplifier when a second amp is being used.
Note: Use unbalanced mono instrument cables only.
5
Tails Switch
The Supernatural features a switch that allows the reverb signal to continue
being heard after the effect is bypassed.When theTails Switch is set ON, the
Supernatural does not utilize true hardwire bypass. If you always want to use
true hardwire bypass, set theTails Switch to OFF.When theTails Switch is OFF,
reverb signal is cut off immediately when the effect is bypassed.
TheTails Switch is located under the Foot Switch and is accessed by pressing
in one of the Foot Switch Release Pins using the tip of a 1/4" guitar cable plug.
Once the Foot Switch is removed, theTails Switch is visible inside the chassis
next to the button switch that turns the effect on and off. Slide the switch to the
left to turnTails ON and to the right to turnTails OFF.

Battery Operation
In the event that battery power is completely depleted, HardWire pedals
automatically switch into bypass.This eliminates the need to remove the pedal
from your pedal chain if the battery is dead.To replace the battery, do the
following:
1. Using the tip of a 1/4” guitar cable, push one of the Release Pins in on
either side of the Foot Switch, and remove it from the pedal chassis.
2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect
the battery cable.
3. Connect a new battery to the battery cable and put it back in the
battery compartment. Make sure the battery cable does not interfere
with the spring or pedal switch arm.
4. Place one hole of the Foot Switch over its corresponding pin.
5. Push the opposite pin in and lower the other side of the Foot Switch
10
into place over the depressed pin. Release the pin.When the Foot
Switch is properly fastened, both release pins are flush with the outer
side of
Foot Switch
