Dig Deep MK3 User Manual

The Dig Deep MK3 is an advanced octave-down pedal designed to transform your guitar sound by generating a rich, monophonic bass line without affecting your upper strings. It’s the perfect tool to add depth and body to a thin guitar sound or to simulate the powerful presence of a bass guitar.

Building upon the acclaimed performance of its predecessor, the Dig Deep MK3 offers expanded control and enhanced features for unparalleled sonic sculpting:

Key Features:

• Expanded Control: Unlike previous versions, the MK3 features 5 versatile control knobs and two dedicated control buttons. These controls, along with a “SHIFT” button, allow access to primary and secondary parameters, giving you extensive command over your sound.
  • Knobs:
    • Dry: Controls the level of your original, dry signal.
    • Sub Mix: Sets the overall level of the generated sub signal.
    • -1 Oct & -2 Oct: Adjust the levels of the one-octave and two-octave-down signals, respectively.
    • Low Pass: Shapes the sub signal by cutting high frequencies.
    • High Pass: Controls low frequencies, helping to reduce unwanted noise from acoustic guitars.
    • Range: Adjusts the tracking range across the guitar fretboard.
    • 1st Harmonic: Sets the level of the dominant frequency in the sub mix.
    • CTRL I & CTRL II: Assignable knobs for customized parameter control via the application editor.
  • Buttons:
    • Wave: Selects from different sub waveforms, each offering a distinct bass sound.
    • Split: Separates the dry and sub signals, sending the dry to the main output and the sub to a dedicated SUB output.
    • CTRL III & CTRL IV: Assignable buttons for additional parameter control via the application editor.
• Accurate Tracking: Tracks accurately when playing arpeggios, strumming chords, and even complex chords and inversions across the entire fretboard.
• Broad Compatibility: Works seamlessly with 6-string, 7-string, baritone, semi-acoustic, and acoustic guitars with various tunings. (Note: Very low tunings with thick gauge strings may cause tracking issues.)
• Advanced Tracking Functions: Features Dominant Notes Cut (DNC) and High Notes Cut (HNC) to improve tracking performance, especially with specific chords or open strings. These can be assigned to control buttons or permanently stored.
• Preset Storage: Store and recall up to 3 of your favorite settings with ease. Presets can be loaded via footswitch, remote switch, or MIDI.
• Digital Connectivity:
  • USB-C: Powers the pedal and connects to the editor application for advanced customization and updates.
  • MIDI In/Thru: Full MIDI control for integration into complex setups.
• Intuitive Editor: A dedicated application allows you to fine-tune parameters, assign controls, manage presets, and update the pedal’s algorithm and firmware.
• Robust Power Design: Can be powered via USB-C or a standard 9V DC (negative center) power supply, with protection against over-voltage, polarity inversion, and over-current.

The Dig Deep MK3 is the ultimate tool for guitarists looking to expand their sonic palette with authentic, deep bass tones.
