The Digitech X Series XHP Hyper Phase 7 Mode Guitar Phaser Pedal delivers
7 operational modes, instead of the
typical one mode only that you find in some other pedals. These operational modes are
easily selectable using the mode control allowing you to choose from a selection of
awesome voicing sounds, triggering feature, and useful step functions. Now you are no
longer limited to a one-trick pedal. You can dial in the exact phaser or flanger sound
you want! The Digitech X Series XHP Hyper Phase 7 Mode Guitar Phaser Pedal has Speed, Depth, Regen, and
Mode controls. Outputs for both pedals include Out 1 (Mono) and Out 2 for stereo operation.
The Digitech X Series XHP Hyper Phase 7 Mode Guitar Phaser Pedal
is a multi-function phaser pedal that offers seven
different types of phasing effects and CIT™ cabinet modeling. The
following sections outline how the knobs and pedal functions work.
Speed Knob
Controls the speed of the phase shift sweep. Turn this knob clockwise
to increase the speed, and counter-clockwise to decrease the speed.
Depth Knob
Controls the depth of the phase shift effect. Turn this knob clockwise to
increase the depth, and counter-clockwise to decrease the depth.
Regen Knob
Controls the amount of regeneration (feedback) in the phaser effect.
Turn this knob clockwise to increase the regeneration, and counter-clockwise
to decrease the regeneration. When 4-RISE/FALL is selected,
this knob creates a rising sweep when set between the minimum and 12
o’clock positions, and a falling sweep when set between the 12 o’clock
and maximum positions.
Type Knob
Selects 1 of the 7 different phaser effect types available.
1.VOICE A - A 4 stage phase shifter.
2.VOICE B - An 8 stage phase shifter.
3.VOICE C - A 12 stage phase shifter.
4.RISE / FALL - Creates a constant rising phaser sound when the
REGEN knob is set between the minimum and 12 o’clock positions,
or a constant falling phaser sound when the REGEN knob is set
between the 12 o’clock and maximum positions.
5.TRIG UP* - The phaser effect starts at the bottom of its sweep when
the trigger threshold is reached. Use the REGEN knob to adjust the
trigger threshold sensitivity and SPEED knob to adjust sweep rate.
Flanger regeneration is fixed when Triggered Up is selected.
6.TRIG DOWN* - The phase effect starts at the top of its sweep
when the trigger threshold is reached. Use the REGEN knob to adjust
the trigger threshold sensitivity and SPEED knob to adjust sweep rate.
Flanger regeneration is fixed when Triggered Down is selected.
7.STEP - Creates a phase square wave flange effect similar to a
sample and hold filter on a synthesizer.
* Using a distortion pedal before the Hyper Phase may cause
inconsistent triggering due to the non-dynamic nature of distorted
signals.
AC Adapter Jack
Connect a DigiTech PS200R power supply to this jack. Use the proper
supply for your area’s Mains line voltage.
Input Jack
Connect your instrument to this jack. Connecting a guitar cable to this
jack engages battery power even though the Indicator LED may not be
lit. To prolong battery life, disconnect all cables from the pedal when not
in use.
Pedal Release Pins
These two pins are spring-loaded hinges that hold the pedal in place.
Push these pins in to release the pedal from the chassis exposing the
battery compartment. (See battery replacement diagram.)
Out 1(Mono) Jack
Connect this output to a single guitar amplifier or mixer channel when only
one amp or mixer channel is being used.
Out 2 Jack
Connect this output to a second amplifier or mixer channel for stereo
flanging. Stereo is the best way to get the most effective stereo flange
experience from the Turbo Flange pedal.
Indicator LED
Indicates when the effect is turned on. If the LED becomes dim or does
not light when the cables are connected, the battery needs to be
replaced.
Connections
The Digitech X Series XHP Hyper Phase 7 Mode Guitar Phaser Pedal
has a single input and a pair of outputs. Out 1 is used if the Hyper Phase
is being connected to only one amplifier or mixer channel panned center. Out 2 is used
for stereo operation. Connect Out 1 to the first amplifier or mixer channel panned left
and Out 2 to the second amplifier or mixer channel panned right. The Hyper Phase also has
built-in CIT™ cabinet modeling that can be enabled. This is a useful tool when running a
distortion pedal into the Hyper Phase and then running direct into a mixer or recorder.
CIT creates a guitar-through-an-amplifier sound without having to use a guitar amp.
Cabinet modeling is only active when the phaser effect is turned on. To Enable CIT™
Cabinet Modeling: Press the pedal down and apply power (connect a guitar cable to the
Hyper Phase input or connect the PS200R power supply to the AC adapter jack). CIT™
cabinet modeling has to be turned on each time you apply power to the Hyper Phase.
