Congratulations and special thanks from DigiTech® for choosing the Scott Ian Black-13™ Artist Series Pedal. DigiTech’s philosophy for developing products begins with the desire to provide every guitarist with the best-sounding, most creative tools possible. To this end, our revolutionary technology, Production Modeling™, was designed to help reproduce the studio and live sounds and effects of an artist as heard on their recordings.
1. LEVEL 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. CONTROL 1 Controls Low Frequency Boost/Cut in models 1-6, and the amount of pitch shift in model 7. 5. MODEL Selects one of the seven different signature Scott Ian tones: 1. “I Am the Law” 2. “Madhouse” 3. “March of the S.O.D.” 4. “Protest and Survive” 5. “Room For One More” 6. “What Doesn’t Die” 7. “Finale” 3.
Model Descriptions MODEL 1. “I Am the Law,” Anthrax – Among the Living (1987) Model 1 captures the clearer, more sizzling distortion tone Scott used for “I Am the Law”. Use the CONTROL 1 knob to boost or cut the low frequencies. Use the CONTROL 2 knob to boost or cut the high frequencies. MODEL 2. “Madhouse,” Anthrax – Spreading the Disease (1985) Model 2 generates the more refined tone Scott used in “Madhouse”. Use the CONTROL 1 knob to boost or cut the low frequencies.
MODEL 4. “Protest and Survive,” Anthrax – Attack of the Killer B’s (1991) This is based on the raw, more diffuse distortion tone Scott used for the intro to “Protest and Survive”. Use the CONTROL 1 knob to boost or cut the low frequencies. Use the CONTROL 2 knob to boost or cut the high frequencies. MODEL 5. “Room For One More,” Anthrax – Sound of White Noise (1993) Scott acheived this tone by combining three amps ( a MarshallTM JCM 800, a MatchlessTM, and a Marshall JubileeTM) with a T.C.
Setup Directions Connections Follow these setup directions before use: The Black-13™ pedal features a single INPUT and a pair of outputs, OUT 1 (AMP) and OUT 2 (MIXER). The two outputs give you the option of running into a guitar amplifier, running directly to a mixing console, or both at the same time. The OUT 2 (MIXER) output has been specially designed to faithfully reproduce Scott’s studio guitar amplifier tones without having to use an amp. 1.
