The Death By Audio Disturbance is an extreme modulation effects pedal for guitarists and bassists seeking unique filter, flanger, and phaser sounds. Its key benefit lies in its versatile and often wild sonic sculpting capabilities, driven by the 'Tensity' knob and advanced modulation options. A potential caveat for new users is the pedal's complex nature, which may require experimentation to fully master its diverse range of effects.

Yes, while designed for guitar and bass, you can connect keyboards and synthesizers. The CV OUT jack also allows for integration with modular synths and other CV-compatible gear.
It requires a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negativepolarity plug. Current draw is approximately 50mA. A dedicated power supply is recommended.
The 'Tensity' knob controls the overall feedback amount and the structural complexity of all the effects (Filter, Flanger, Phaser). It has two distinct intensity settings for each modulation type, accessed by pressing the knob.
Pressing the LFO pause button freezes the Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) at its current position. This allows you to hold a specific filter cutoff frequency, flanger sweep position, or phaser sweep point, creating static or sustained sonic textures.
While known for extreme sounds, the Disturbance can produce more subtle effects. Experiment with lower 'Tensity' settings, lower LFO speeds, and specific filter/flanger/phaser configurations. It requires careful dialing in.
The CV OUT (Control Voltage Output) jack allows you to send the pedal's LFO signal to control other voltage-controllable synthesizers, effects, or sequencers, enabling complex, synchronized modulation possibilities.
Check that all cables are securely connected to the input, output, and amplifier. Verify the power supply is connected and functioning correctly. Ensure the pedal is switched on (LED indicator is lit).
The pedal is designed for extreme sounds; this may be normal operation. If the sound is completely unusable, try reducing the 'Tensity' knob and experimenting with different modulation modes and settings. Ensure your amplifier's gain staging is appropriate.
Confirm the LFO is not paused. Check that the LFO speed is set to a audible rate. If using CV OUT, ensure it is properly connected and configured.
Double-check the power supply connection and ensure it is the correct voltage and polarity (9V DC, center-negative). Try a different compatible power supply.
