BASIC OPERATION
POWER
The Dime Bag Signature Cry Baby
®
Wah Wah is powered
by one 9-volt battery (accessed via bottom of pedal),
an AC adapter such as the Dunlop ECB003/ECB003E,
or a DC Brick
™
power supply.
OPERATION
1.
Run an instrument cable from your guitar to the
DB01’s INSTRUMENT jack and another instrument cable
from the DB01’s AMPLIFIER jack to your amplifier’s
input.
2.
Set all knobs to 12 o’clock.
3.
To turn the pedal on/off, push the toe of the pedal
down until you feel a “click.”
4.
To increase the DB01’s output, engage the BOOST
switch and rotate the VOLUME control clockwise to
increase volume of effect or counterclockwise to
decrease it.
5.
Rotate the VARIABLE Q knob clockwise for a narrower
frequency range to emphasize higher end harmonics
or counterclockwise for a wider frequency range that
emphasizes lower end harmonics.
6.
Rotate the FINE TUNE knob control clockwise to for
a brighter toe-down sound or counterclockwise for a
darker toe-down sound.
7.
Rock your foot back and forth on the pedal to hear
the vocal, expressive tones that the Cry Baby Wah is
famous for.
ADJUSTABLE ROCKER TENSION
Located under the rocker at the heel of the pedal is
an adjustable torque clutch that allows the amount
of resistance the rocker has to being moved. Turn
clockwise to increase resistance or counterclockwise
to decrease resistance. See Diagram A.
(Wrench included).
SWITCHABLE OUTPUT JACKS
The DB01’s OUTPUT/INPUT jack works in either Parallel
Mode or Pass Through Mode using the internal JP2
switch (see Diagram B). In the default Parallel Mode
(JP2 switch UP), both the OUTPUT and OUTPUT/INPUT
jacks function as parallel outputs, each receiving your
affected signal. This mode is useful for splitting the
DB01’s signal to two separate effects chains. In Pass
Through Mode (JP2 switch DOWN), only the OUTPUT
jack receives the affected signal, while the OUTPUT/
INPUT jack receives your clean, unaffected signal. This
is useful for sending your dry signal to a tuner outside
of your effects chain
