Dr. Distorto Pilot's Handbook
Output your ToneCore to your amplifier, or route it through another pedal.
Connect your guitar using a standard cable.
You can, of course, feed your ToneCore with another effect pedal instead of a guitar.
Greetings and salutations! Thank you for inviting the Line 6 Dr. Distorto distortion pedal into your life.
Effect On-Off / Power Indicator Light
The Power Indicator Light on your ToneCore uses two colors to indicate the pedal's state:
Light not lit - Effect is bypassed (off)
GREEN - Effect is engaged (on)
- RED (flashing) - Batteries should be replaced. This low power indication will override all other states.
Connections and Power Indicator Light
In Jack
Here's where it all begins. Use a standard guitar cable to connect your guitar, or the output of another effect to use in combination with your ToneCore. Like most pedals, inserting a plug into this jack will turn on the power to your ToneCore. Disconnect the plug from this jack when the ToneCore is not being used.
Out Jack
Use a standard guitar cable to connect to the input of a guitar amp, or the input of another effect that will feed your amp.
Power Jack
Connect an optional ToneCore-compatible Line 6 power supply like the DC-1, and you'll never need a 9-volt battery again!
Foot Switch
Stomp on this to turn Dr. Distorto's effect sound processing on and off.
Dr. Distorto Pilot's Handbook
Level
This sets the output level. Higher levels will hit the amp or effect fed by the Dr. Distorto with more signal level, giving you more volume. If the level is high enough, it may also cause more distortion to be created within the receiving amp or pedal.
Tone
The TONE knob allows you to smoothly morph from a fuzz distortion tone (counter clockwise) to a classic drive tone (clockwise) using only one dial. Be sure to experiment with other voicings at in-between settings.
Drive
The drive knob controls the amount of distortion created within your Dr. Distorto. You may want to use the Gate to tame unwanted noise, especially when you've got the Drive set high.
FEEDBACK CONTROL
RISE
Adjusts the amount time it takes the feed-backer to begin sustaining a tone.
FALL
Adjusts the amount time it takes the feed-backer to stop sustaining a tone.
BLEND
Adjusts the volume of the feed-backer's sustained tone.
Fdbk Switch
SUSTAIN - provides a sustained tone that will be in unison with any single note played.
OCT - provides a sustained tone that is one octave above any single note played.
OFF - disables the feedback portion of the pedal, leaving, leaving RISE, FALL and BLEND non-functional.
Gate Switch
OFF - Disables the Gate.
MILD - A soft and mild noise gate, self-adjusting to your current Drive knob setting (cool, huh?).
CLAMP-A heavy, fast-clamping gate. Great for those aggressive metal chords and palm muting.
NOTE:
If you'd like to use Dr. Distorto's feedback / sustainer section with your favorite distortion pedal no problem. Just turn the DRIVE control all the way down (fully counterclockwise) and plug in your favorite Overdrive, Distortion, Fuzz or just plane drive pedal after Dr. Distorto. Experiment with the RISE, FALL, and BLEND settings to get the preferred amount of feedback in your signal.
