OAC ADAPTOR JACK
This is to connect an AC adaptor (BOSS PSA
series).
Connecting the AC adaptor to this jack will
turn the DSD-2 on. (While the AC Adaptor is
connected, the Output Jack O does not work
as ON/OFF switch.)
• Please note that the BOSS ACA series AC
adaptors do not match the OSO-2 because of
rated current difference.
©CHECK INDICATOR
[Delay Mode]
This indicator lights up when the effect is
turned on. and goes out when off.
[Sampler Mode]
The indicator lights up while the sampled
sound is being recorded or played.
•Check Indicator also serves as the power
indicator. When the DC supply being fed is
not enough for the DSD-2 to operate, the
indicator fails to light.
©EFFECT LEVEL KNOB
This knob is to adjust the level of the delay/
sample sound. Rotating this knob clockwise
increases the volume of effect sounds. At the
MAX position the delay/sample sound level
becomes equal to that of direct sound, and at
the MIN position only the direct sound is
heard.
©FEEDBACK LEVEL KNOB
[Delay Mode]
In this mode, this knob decides how many
times the delay sound is to be repeated.
Rotating this knob clockwise increases the
number. At the fully counterclockwise posi­
tion single delay will be obtained.
[Sampler Mode]
In this mode, the knob should be set at the
lully counterclockwise position. Rotating the
knob clockwise mixes recorded sound with
the sample sound and an effect like multitrack
recording is obtained.
©OUTPUT JACK
This is to connect to the external amplifier.
Direct and delay/sample sounds are mixed
and sent out through this jack.
•The Output Jack serves as a power switch,
that is. the DSD-2 will be turned on by plug
in a connection cord, and turned off by
disconnecting it. (This applies only while
the unit is operating on battery.)
©TIME KNOB
[Delay Mode]
In this mode, the knob determines the delay
time. Rotating it clockwise will make longer
delay time. This knob actually changes the
delay time set by the Mode Selector Switch
from " X 0.25" to " X 1" continuously.
[Sampler Mode]
In this mode, the knob determines the sampling
time Irom 200 to 800ms. Rotating this
clockwise will make the lime longer.
©MODE SELECTOR SWITCH
Four modes are optional with this switch: two
Delay modes and two Sampler modes as follows.
[Delay Modes]
At S the range is 200ms. By using the Time
Knob the delay time can be changed continu­
ously from 50 to 200ms.
At L the range is 800ms. The delay time can
be changed continuously Irom 200ms to
800ms with the Time Knob.
[Sampler Modes]
REC/PLAY: The recorded sound is played and
new sound is simultaneously recorded.
PLAY ONLY: The sound recorded in REC/
PLAY mode is sustained and played.
•The sound is sustained until the power is
turned off or different mode is selected.
• In the Sampler mode, recording or playing is
started by pressing the pedal or feeding an
external trigger signal through the Trigger In
Jack.
•If the pedal switch is kept depressed, the
trigger is supplied continuously.
©INPUT JACK
This is to connect an electric instrument,
mike or the like.
•If the microphone has sufficient out­
put. it can be directly connected to the
Input Jack. If not. use a mixer such as
BOSS BX-400 and/or preamplifier.
©TRIGGER IN JACK
This is to receive the signal sent from the Trig­
ger Output of a rhythm machine.
©PEDAL SWITCH
[Delay Mode]
In this mode, the pedal switch works to turn
on or off the efiect.
[Sampler Mode]
In this mode, the pedal switch works as a trig­
ger (start) switch (or recording or playing. If
the pedal is kept depressed, recording or play­
ing is continuously repeated.
• Adopting the FET switch, the DSD-2 is free
from click noise.
