PitchFactor User Guide Mix Control

Note: When connecting PitchFactor to a computer, we suggest that you use a dedicated
audio interface (e.g. a Firewire Interface) and to select the type of Bypass that works best for
your application.
Note: PitchFactor has been carefully designed to not mess with your tone in any of the Bypass
settings.
Note: With PitchFactor’s power turned off, the relays automatically Bypass the unit. This
means that if power should accidentally go down while you’re playing, your guitar signal will
not disappear because of PitchFactor. Of course, if power is down, you may have bigger
problems.
Mix Control
The Mix Control sets the relative levels of the input signal (dry) and the Effect (wet).
Mono/Stereo
PitchFactor detects which input and output jacks have cables plugged in and routes audio I/O
accordingly. With a Mono Input (Input 1) and Stereo Outputs, the dry contribution for both
outputs comes from the Mono Input (Input 1). With Stereo Inputs, the dry contribution at
Output 1 is from Input 1 and the dry contribution at Output 2 is from Input 2, thereby
maintaining the original signal stereo image.
Killdry – Send/Return Loop
If you’ve connected your PitchFactor using an effect send/return loop (either your amp’s or a
mixer’s), PitchFactor’s Killdry feature can be enabled.
When Killdry is enabled, PitchFactor does not send any dry signal to the outputs; only the
Effect. Note that when Killdry is enabled, Bypassing will mute the Effect rather than Bypass it
when DSP Bypass is selected.
Killdry’s factory default is disabled. It can be enabled in the [BYPASS] menu of the System
Mode. Here’s how:
1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few seconds
to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.
2) Turn the Encoder until [BYPASS] is displayed.
3) Momentarily press the Encoder.
4) Turn the Encoder until [KILLDRY] is displayed.
5) Momentarily press the Encoder.
6) Turn the Encoder to select either [YES] or [NO].
7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few seconds
to exit System Mode.
