INTRODUCTION
Thanks for choosing the DigiTech® Obscura stereo delay pedal. The Obscura was designed for the
selective guitarist who wants the highest quality delay in a compact package. The Obscura provides
such distinguishing features as organic delay algorithms, true bypass, constant high voltage operation,
and true stereo processing, making the Obscura an essential addition to the signal chain of players who
know about sound quality and demand the utmost in performance with superior tone and control.
The Obscura is more than just a digital delay pedal. Using the Repeat Hold feature, it can be used
for creating interesting real-time effects that will repeat as long as you like, even when the effect is
bypassed, allowing you to create amazing ambient effects and textures that you can play over the top
of.
The Obscura offers 4 delay types:
• Analog
• Tape
• Lo-Fi
• Reverse
To use the Obscura pedal, enable the effect with the Footswitch (the LED will light when the effect is
enabled). Adjust the LEVEL control to mix in the amount of delay effect. Select the desired delay type
with the DELAY TYPE selector knob. Adjust the TIME and REPEATS controls to set the delay time and
adjust the length of the delay repeats (or tail). To use Tap Tempo, press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for 3
seconds then tap in the tempo. Change the tone and quality of the delay with the TONE and DEGRADE
controls. Set the TAILS switch to the ‘ON’ position if you want the delay tails to decay naturally after
switching the effect off or want to use the Repeat Hold feature for additional real-time effect control.
Set the TAILS switch to the ‘OFF” position if you want the delay tails to end abruptly when switching the
effect off or want to utilize the true bypass feature.
