Button Names and Functions

11. Foot Switch

You can connect an optional foot switch (such as the FS-5L) 
to obtain pedal control over a variety of different functions. 

TIP:A/B and RING:MANUAL 

Jack

You can use a foot switch to switch between memory A and 
memory B or switch the Manual function on and off. 

fig. 3 (explanatory figure)

TIP: 

Switches between memory A and memory B. 

RING: This switches the Manual function on and off. When 

switched off, the settings of the memory just selected 

are used. 

(When using the FS-5L)

When the polarity switch is set as shown in the 

figure above the FS-5L’s indicator lights up when 

the DB-900 is switched to Manual.

When using a stereo connection cord (PCS-31 etc.), be 

sure to use two foot switches. Use with one plug empty 

may result in unstable operation. 

When a foot switch is connected to this jack, the 

MANUAL

MEMORY A

, and 

MEMORY B

 

buttons

 do not function.

If you use a mono connection cord to connect a foot 

switch, you’ll only be able to use it to switch between 

Memory A and B.

CHORUS jack

This lets you switch the chorus effect on and off. 

(When using the FS-5L)

Set the polarity switch as shown in the diagram 

below. With this setting, the indicator of the FS-

5L will light when the Chorus effect is on.

fig. 4 (explanatory figure)

When the D-chorus 

INTENSITY knob

 setting is 

made or stored while at “OFF,” the foot switch cannot 

be used to switch chorus on or off. 

If the D-chorus INTENSITY knob has been used to 

turn on the Chorus effect, using the foot switch to turn 

off the Chorus effect will cause the D-CHORUS 

indicator to blink.
