The Turbo Flange is a multi-function flanger pedal that offers seven different
types of flanging effects and CIT™ cabinet modeling. The following sections
outline how the knobs and pedal functions will work.
1. Speed Knob
Controls the speed of the flange sweep. Turn this knob clockwise to
increase the speed, and counter-clockwise to decrease the speed.
2. Depth Knob
Controls the depth of the effect. Turn this knob clockwise to increase the
depth, and counter-clockwise to decrease the depth.
3.AC Adapter Jack
Connect a DigiTech PS200R (9VDC output) power supply to this jack. Use
the proper supply for your area’s Mains line voltage.
4. Regen Knob
Controls the amount of regeneration (feedback) in the flanger 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.

5.Type Knob
Selects 1 of the 7 different flanger effect types available.
1.VOICE 1 - A classic jet airplane flanger voicing.
2.VOICE 2 - A guttural, growling flanger voicing.
3.VOICE 3 - A tube-like flanger voicing,
4. RISE / FALL - Creates a constant rising flanger sound when the
Regen knob is set between the minimum and 12 o’clock positions, or a
constant falling flanger sound when the Regen knob is set between the
12 o’clock and maximum positions.
5.TRIG UP* - The flanger 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 flanger 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 random square wave flange effect similar to a
sample and hold filter on a synthesizer.
* Using a distortion pedal before the Turbo Flange may cause
inconsistent triggering due to the non-dynamic nature of distorted
signals.

6. Input Jack
Connect your instrument to this jack. Connecting a guitar 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.)
8. Pedal
Press the pedal to turn the effect on and off.
9. 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.
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 stereo
flanging. Stereo is the best way to get the most effective stereo flange
experience from the Turbo Flange pedal.
Connections
The Turbo Flange has a single input and a pair of outputs. Out 1 is used if
the Turbo Flange is being connected to only one amplifier or mixer channel
with the pan set to 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 Turbo Flange also has built-in CIT™ cabinet modeling that can be
enabled. This is a useful tool when running a distortion pedal into the Turbo
Flange and then running direct into a mixer or recorder. CIT cabinet
modeling creates a guitar-through-an-amplifier sound without having to use a
guitar amp.
To Enable CIT™ Cabinet Modeling:
Press the pedal down and apply power (connect a guitar cable to the Turbo
Flange 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 Turbo Flange.

Battery Replacement
1. Using the tip of a 1/4” guitar 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.
