DigiTech has long been known as a leader in the guitar and bass signal
processing industry. The Bass Multi Chorus brings you a breakthrough in
chorus effect technology. Thanks to our proprietary AudioDNA™
processor, the Bass Multi Chorus is the only pedal that provides up to
16 independent voices of interactive chorusing. The result is a lush wash
of modulation that rivals any of the finest pedal and rack chorus devices
you have ever heard.
1. Level Knob
Controls the output level of the effect. Turn this knob clockwise to
increase the output level, and counter-clockwise to decrease the output
level.
2. Speed Knob
Controls the rate that the chorus modulates. Turn this knob clockwise
to increase the rate, and counter-clockwise to decrease the rate.
3.AC Adapter Jack
Connect a DigiTech PS200R power supply to this jack. Use the proper
supply for your area’s Mains line voltage.

4. Depth Knob
Controls the depth of the chorus effect. Turn this knob clockwise to
increase the depth, and counter-clockwise to decrease the depth.
5.Voice Knob
Controls the number of chorus voices used. At the knob’s minimum
position, only a single chorus voice is heard. As the knob is turned
clockwise, more voices are brought in. At the maximum position of the
Voice knob, 16 voices are heard interacting with one another.
6. Input Jack
Connect your instrument to this jack. Connecting a 1/4” cable to this
jack supplies 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.
7. 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 pedal chassis exposing
the battery compartment. (See battery replacement diagram.)
Bass Multi Chorus Manual 8/20/02 10:43 AM Page 6

8. Pedal
Press the pedal to turn the effect on and off.
9. Out 1(Mono) Jack
Connect this output to a single bass amplifier or mixer channel panned
to the center for mono operation.
10. Indicator LED
This 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.
11. Out 2 Jack
Connect this output to a second amplifier or mixer channel for true
stereo chorusing. Stereo is the best way to get the most effective
chorusing experience from the Bass Multi Chorus pedal.
Bass Multi Chorus Manual 8/20/02 10:43 AM Page 7

Connections
The Bass Multi Chorus has a single input and a pair of outputs. Out 1
is used if the Bass Multi Chorus is being connected to only one amplifier
or mixer channel. Out 2 is used for stereo operation. Connect Out 1
to the first amplifier or mixer channel panned hard left and Out 2 to
the second amplifier or mixer channel panned hard right.
The Bass Multi Chorus also has built-in CIT™ cabinet modeling. This is
a useful tool when running a distortion pedal into the Bass Multi Chorus
and then running direct into a mixer or recorder. This creates a
through-an-amplifier sound without having to use a bass amp. The CIT
model is based off a 4x10 cabinet.
To Enable CIT™ Cabinet Modeling:
Press the pedal down and apply power (connect a 1/4” cable to the Bass
Multi Chorus 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 Bass Multi Chorus.

Battery Replacement
1. Using the tip of a 1/4” cable, push one of the release pins in on either
side of the pedal, and remove the pedal from the pedal chassis.
2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect
the battery cable.
3. Connect a new battery to the battery cable and put it back in the
battery compartment. Make sure the battery cable does not interfere
with the spring or pedal switch arm.
4. Place one hole of the pedal over its corresponding pin.
5. Push the opposite pin in and lower the other side of the pedal into
place over the depressed pin. Release the pin. When the pedal is
properly fastened, both release pins are flush with the outer side of
the pedal.
