Disaster Area Designs DPC-8EZ Bypass Switcher

Description: Category 500 Series Modular Synth Keyboards Microphones Preamps Dynamics Equalizers Monitoring Computer Audio Interfaces Software Beat Production Disaster Area Designs DPC-8EZ Bypass Switcher - Black The Disaster Area Designs DPC-8EZ is a compact pedalboard control system with eight effects loops and MIDI. The DPC-8EZ is similar to the popular DPC-5 pedalboard controller but has more effects loops and a simplified MIDI implementation. The DPC-8EZ is fully compatible with the Disaster Area Gen2 pedal controllers, including the DMC-6D and DMC-7D. Combining a DPC-8EZ with a DMC-7D allows the player to use the DMC-7D as a powerful preset organizer and MIDI controller, while leaving the DPC-8EZ in direct access mode for quick pedal selection. Please note that in order to pack the maximum connectivity into the DPC-8EZ, the jack spacing is very tight. Disaster Area have tested several different brands and types of patch cables and have found DisasterPlugs to be the best solution for cabling up a DPC-8EZ. 36 plugs (3 kits) are required to cable 8 effects and one volume pedal into a DPC-8EZ. Other options include George L’s and Lava solderless kits, including Mini-ELC and Tightrope kits. Customers wishing to use soldered connections may use Switchcraft 380 straight plugs.

Button 5: Enable or disable Automatic Noise Reduction - ANR mutes the output while switching to eliminate pops or clicks DPC-8EZ Insert Connector The DPC-8EZ Insert allows the controller to function as two separate switching systems with separate audio paths Split the paths to place loops 1-4 in the preamp of your amp, 5-8 in the effects loop Split the paths to switch effects in two separate amplifiers or signal chains Place a volume pedal after your drive pedals / before your modulation and time-based effects Use the Stereo Link feature to have the left stereo channel use loops 1-4 and the right stereo channel use loops 5-8 MIDI Functions The DPC-8EZ features a limited but powerful MIDI implementation. Selecting a preset on the DPC-8EZ will send a MIDI program change message to any other connected MIDI devices (MERGE mode.) This program sending is fixed per preset, and may be disabled. If the MIDI sending / MERGE is disabled, the MIDI input still acts as a MIDI thru. Each loop on the DPC-8EZ may also be controlled by a MIDI CC (continuous controller) message. The DMC-7D, DMC-6D, and DPC-5 can control the DPC-8EZ as a slave device. This allows the DMC or DPC-5 to select saved presets on the DPC-8EZ and still pass MIDI control data to any other MIDI pedals on your board. The DPC-8EZ does not support multiple MIDI channel control or program mapping like the DPC-5 or DMC-6D / DMC-7D. Features: Compact size – 10″ x 2.6″ x 2″ excluding switch caps and jacks. No special power supply required – uses less than 120mA, 9V from a Pedal Power 2 or similar. 5 footswitches for preset selection or manual effects loop control. 48 presets accessible by foot, arranged in four folders with three banks of four presets each. 128 presets accessible using an external MIDI controller Full MIDI control of presets and effects loops 8 effects loops with a custom-designed switching matrix Dedicated insert connection between loops 4 and 5 Always-on tuner out with tuner mute.
