Congratulations! You have just purchased a DigiTech® digital effect pedal. Unlike many analog pedals, the number of hours digital pedals can be powered with 9-Volt alkaline batteries is limited due to the constant draw which digital signal processors require. Until battery technology advances to meet the requirements of digital pedals, we suggest that a battery be used mainly for demonstration and practice purposes.
Introduction More than a remarkable achievement, DigiTech’s HardWire® series represents a collection of significant improvements in guitar effects pedals. The HardWire series pedals provide a suite of well-known effects, each with superior tone and control.

What Does This Do? 1. Speed Knob - Controls the LFO speed of the Tremolo/Rotary effect. Turning the knob clockwise increases the speed and turning it counterclockwise decreases the speed. 2. DC Adapter Jack - Connect the optional Harman power supply to this jack. Use the proper supply for your area’s mains line voltage. 3. Depth Knob - Controls the intensity of the Tremolo/Rotary effect. Turn the knob clockwise for a deep Tremolo/Rotary sound and counter-clockwise for a subtle Tremolo/Rotary sound. 4.
6. Input 1 (Mono) - Connect your instrument, the output of a pedal, or an amp effects send to this jack. When only a single input is needed, this jack must be used. Signals will still be heard at both outputs when only the Input 1 (Mono) jack is connected. Connecting a guitar cable to the Input 1(Mono) 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.
8. Foot Switch Release Pins - These two pins are spring-loaded hinges that hold the pedal in place. Push these pins in with the tip of a 1/4” guitar cable to release the pedal from the pedal chassis exposing the battery compartment. (See battery replacement diagram). 9. Indicator LED - This LED indicates when the effect is turned on or off.
Tremolo/Rotary Types Tremolo 6 Basic amplitude modulation effect with a variable waveform selector. Opto Tremolo Tremolo based on an opto isolated tremolo circuit found in vintage Fender® amps. Bias Tremolo Tremolo based on varying the power tube bias used in vintage Vox® amps. Duo Trem Dual tremolos connected in series that interact with each other to create complex rhythm patterns. Rotary Emulates a legendary LeslieTM rotary speaker cabinet with rotating horn and rotor.

Battery Operation 10 In the event that battery power is completely depleted, HardWire pedals automatically switch into bypass. This eliminates the need to remove the pedal from your pedal chain if the battery is dead. To replace the battery, do the following: 1. Using the tip of a 1/4” guitar cable, push one of the Release Pins in on either side of the Foot Switch, and remove it from the pedal chassis. 2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect the battery cable. 3.
into place over the depressed pin. Release the pin. When the Foot Switch is properly fastened, both release pins are flush with the outer side of Foot Switch the pedal.
Tap Tempo The TR-7’s Foot Switch can be used as a Tap Tempo switch for setting the tremolo effect’s modulation speed time during a live performance. To access Tap Tempo, do the following: 1. Press and hold the Pedal Switch for 3 seconds. The effect first will turn on and the Indicator LED lights solid BLUE (NOTE: If the effect was already on, it will first turn off and then back on after 3 seconds). 2.
3. Tap the Foot Switch at least two times to set a new modulation speed. The last two pedal tap intervals set the modulation speed. If a tap hasn’t been initiated after 4 seconds, two taps will be required again to set the tempo. 4. To exit Tap Tempo, press and hold the Foot Switch for 3 seconds until the Indicator LED stops flashing and lights solid BLUE again. Once Tap Tempo mode is exited, the tapped modulation speed remains active until either the Type is changed or the Speed knob is adjusted.
Below is a table showing the ratio of tapped tempo and the speed at which the effect should modulate.
Performance Accessories The performance accessories make integrating a HardWire pedal into any pedal board a snap.
Hook-and-loop Pedalboard Pad To attach the Pedalboard Pad, do the following: 1. Peel off the existing rubber skid pad from the bottom of the pedal. 2. Peel the adhesive protector from the back of the Pedalboard Pad. 3. Apply the Pedalboard Pad to the bottom of the pedal.
Foot Switch Glow Sticker To attach the Foot Switch Glow Sticker, do the following: 1. Peel the adhesive backing from the Foot Switch Glow Sticker. 2. Apply the Glow Sticker to the top of the Foot Switch.
StompLock To place the StompLock over the pedal knobs, do the following: 1. Set the knobs to your preferred setting. 2. Gently push the StompLock over the top of the knobs. 3. To remove the StompLock, gently lift one side and then the other.
