INTRODUCTION Thanks for choosing the DigiTech® Polara reverb stereo effect pedal. The Polara was designed for the selective guitarist who wants the highest quality reverb in a compact package.
USER INTERFACE 1 2 12 3 11 4 10 5 6 7 9 8 1. Tails Switch When this switch is set to the on position, reverb tails will decay naturally when the effect is switched to bypass. When set to the OFF position, reverb decays will end abruptly when the effect is switched to bypass. When the Tails Switch is set to ON, the Polara does not utilize true hardwire bypass. If you always want to use true hardwire bypass, set the Tails Switch to the OFF position. 2.
4. Decay Knob Controls the length of time it takes for the reverb to fade out. 5. Input 1 (Mono) Use this jack when only a single connection is needed. Connect your instrument, the output of a pedal, or an amp effects send to this jack. Signals are heard at both outputs when only this jack is used. 6. Indicator LED Lights when the effect is turned on. 7. Input 2 Connect a second input to this jack for stereo operation.
