Digitech CabDryVR [3/17] Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Thanks for choosing the DigiTech® CabDryVR Dual Cabinet Simulator pedal. The CabDryVR was designed for

the selective guitarist who wants the highest quality effects in a compact package. The CabDryVR provides such

distinguishing features as true bypass and dual-cabinet processing, making the CabDryVR an essential addition

to the signal chain of players who know about sound quality and demand the utmost in performance with

superior tone and control.

The CabDryVR works with both electric guitar and bass, and can be used to provide the sound of a guitar/bass

cabinet when the use of an actual cabinet is not practical. For example, connect the CabDryVR directly to a mixer

when playing live—eliminating the need to carry a heavy amp and cabinet! Or, connect the CabDryVR directly to

an audio interface for recording in an apartment or when acoustic isolation is required.

The CabDryVR provides two independent channels with up to 7 different speaker cabinet types to choose from

(7 based on popular guitar cabinets and 7 based on bass cabinets). These cabinets can be mixed in multiple

varieties using the two 7-position CAB TYPE controls. Two additional controls are provided for each channel to

adjust speaker cabinet size (resonance) and output level. CAB B also offers a DRY setting, useful for applications

where the unprocessed signal is also required.

The CabDryVR has dual inputs and outputs, so it can be placed at the end of a stereo effects chain and maintain

stereo separation. Another cool feature is the CabDryVR's mono in to dual-cabinet output capability. This means

you can plug your instrument into INPUT A and use both outputs to achieve additional functionality:

• Use the CAB A cabinet-simulated signal and set CAB B to the DRY setting to send the dry (unprocessed)

signal to a real amplifier simultaneously.

• Drive two different cabinet simulations from a single guitar feed for stereo operation with varying tones or

for blending various cabinet tones together.

To use the CabDryVR pedal:

1. Enable the effect with the FOOTSWITCH (the LED will light when the effect is enabled).

2. Set the SIZE and LEVEL knobs to 12 o'clock.

3. Set the GUITAR/BASS switch to the position that matches the type of instrument you are connecting.

4. Strum your instrument and switch through the cabinets using the CAB TYPE A knob until the desired

cabinet is found.

5. Fine tune the SIZE and LEVEL knobs for CAB A.

6. If you are using a second instrument or want to use two different cabinets together, repeat steps 4–5 for

CAB B using the TYPE, SIZE, and LEVEL knobs for CAB B.
