Troubleshooting

 

No sound / Low volume:

 

 

Is your instrument properly connected 
to the DD-7?

 

Check the connection once more (p. 9). 
With certain kinds of connections, the di-
rect sound won’t be output (p. 16).

 

 

Is the volume turned down on any guitar 
amp or effects device you have connected?

 

Check the settings of the connected device.

 

 

Could you be using a connection cable 
that contains a resistor?

 

Use a connection cable that does not con-
tain a resistor.

 

 

Do you have the E.LEVEL knob turned 
to MAX in REVERSE mode?

 

The direct sound is not output when the 
E.LEVEL knob is set to MAX.

 

 

Is the battery low or dead?

 

Replace with a new battery (p. 22).

 

* The battery that was supplied with the unit is 

for temporary use, intended primarily for testing 
the unit’s operation. For extended use, we 
suggest replacing this with an alkaline battery.

 

The CHECK indicator has gone dim:

 

 

Is the specified adaptor (PSA-series; 
optional) properly connected?

 

Check the connection once more (p. 9).

 

* Never use any AC adaptor other than one 

specified for use with the DD-7.

 

 

Is the battery low or dead?

 

When the indicator goes dim or no longer 
lights while the effect is on, it means that 
the battery must be replaced (p. 22).

 

* The battery that was supplied with the unit is 

for temporary use, intended primarily for testing 
the unit’s operation. For extended use, we 
suggest replacing this with an alkaline battery.
