Distortion/PreampFor those requiring higher gain, the Dept. 10 Dual Distortion takes things up a notch. A formidable sounding valve distortion pedal and a world-class valve recording preamp – with 3 crunch/overdrive voices alongside the clean channel, our patented ISF control, low latency USB, XLR out and Dept. 10’s proprietary Cab Rig simulator technology.Dual Distortion includes Cab Rig, our next-generation DSP speaker simulator that reproduces the sound and feel of a miked up guitar cab in incredible detail. Deep-dive using the accompanying free software and capture the incredible tones via USB / XLR out or headphones.Adding to this, an in-built effects loop allows for effortless integration with your pedalboard which when used with the XLR D.I. makes for a great sounding and flexible backup amp.Key DetailsDistortion PedalECC83 Triode Valve9V PSU Powered2 Channels / 2 Voices Per ChannelPatented ISF Tone Stack EQ XLR D.I OutputUSB Recording OutputStereo 1/4″ Headphone OutputFX-LoopCab Rig Speaker Simulator (3 save slots on pedal)Top View1. InputPlug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.2. Gain 1This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that Channel 1 willdeliver. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound will becomemore overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a fullcrunch tone is reached.3. Level 1This Level control sets the overall level or volume from Channel 1 of the pedal. Itshould be used in conjunction with the Gain 1 control to achieve the exact type ofdrive you require. Generally speaking, at lower Gain settings, the Volume will beincreased and at higher Gain settings the Volume should be decreased.4. Channel 1 Clean/Crunch Mode SwitchThis switch enables Channel 1 to be set up as a Clean or Crunch channel. The Crunchchannel can also be used as a clean boost by running the level high and the gain low.This will add further saturation to an already overdriven amplifier.5. BassThe Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your tone. This pedalhas an advanced tone shaping circuit (shared by Channel 1 and Channel 2) whichallows the tone to be tight and cutting, counter clockwise (CCW), to warm andthumping (CW).6. MiddleThe Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middlefrequencies are particularly important in getting the amount of ‘body’ your tone has.With the Middle control set to its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound will beaggressive and scooped, this is a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As theMiddle control is increased (CW) the amount of ‘body’ is increased, which is moresuitable for sustained lead guitar tones.7. TrebleThe treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound.At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm and darker in character. As the Treblecontrol is increased (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum settingsthe sound will be aggressive and cutting.8. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)The patented ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treblecontrols. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. Fully CCW is amore American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more aggressive middle,and fully CW is a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.See illustration below.We recommend that to start with the ISF is set to half way and the Bass, Middle andTreble are set to taste. Then try gradually adjusting the ISF CW and CCW until youfind the sound you prefer.9. Gain 2This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that Channel 2 willdeliver. As the Gain control is increased (CW) the sound becomes more overdrivenmoving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead toneis reached.10. Level 2This Level control sets the overall level or volume from Channel 2 of the pedal. It shouldbe used in conjunction with the Gain 2 control to achieve the exact type of drive yourequire. Generally speaking, at lower Gain settings, the Volume will be increased andat higher Gain settings the Volume should be decreased.11. Cab Rig SwitchSelect one of three Cab Rig environments. You can deep edit and load in your ownCab Rig settings using the free Architect software.12. Valve GuardThrough this guard you can see the ECC83 valve at the heart of your pedal.WARNING: Do not attempt to remove the fixing screws or guard. No user serviceableparts inside.13. Channel 2 Overdrive 1/Overdrive 2 Mode SwitchThis switches Channel 2 between Overdrive 1 or Overdrive 2 voicing.Overdrive 2 gives more gain and saturation with a slight a lift in presence, achieving agreat sustaining lead tone.14. OutputThis output is designed for connection to the input of other pedals or the input of avalve solid state, digital or hybrid amplifier. For best noise performance we recommendyou place the overdrive pedal first in the effects chain. The built-in buffer/line driveris perfect for preserving your tone when using long cables, or large pedalboards,even driving low impedance pedals like many wah-wahs. Always use a good qualityscreened guitar lead.15. Cab Rig OutputCab Rig is our next generation DSP speaker simulator that reproduces the soundand feel of a mic’d up guitar cab in incredible detail. Deep dive edit, make custompatches for your cabinet, microphone, power amp and more by plugging your pedalinto our free Architect software via USB. This source will output the selected CabRig switch preset, Left = 1, Middle = 2 and Right = 3. This output has the selectedCab Rig preset applied. A DI signal can be selected within the Cab Rig software tobypass the cabinet simulation.NOTE: The Cab Rig output is a fully stereo 6.35mm connection and should only beused with a stereo jack. Cab Rig output also features a low noise and low distortionheadphone driver circuit which can drive all standard headphone impedances andcan be used for silent practice.Download Architect here: 16.
