Usage

On one end of the guitar pedal spectrum, you've got something like the Fuzz Factory where half of the

components in the circuit are potentiometers and you have far more control over the device than you could

ever want. The DC-2 is the very opposite: it has an obscene number of parts crammed into a small box and

you only get three toggle switches to control it.

Because of this, usage is pretty basic: just plug in a guitar, send the output to either one amp or two, and

flip the toggle switches until you like the sound. In general, the lower presets are more subtle and the higher

presets are more noticeable, but it doesn't ever get too extreme.

Stereo operation

The DC-2 was designed to accept a mono input and split it into stereo, with one BBD controlling each side of

the stereo signal. However, the unit can also mix the signal back down to mono if you are not running a stereo

configuration.

If you have a cable plugged into output "B", the signal will be split into stereo between "A" and "B". If nothing is

plugged into output "B", the signal will be summed to mono.

Differences from the original circuit

The Blueshift is faithful to the original Dimension C circuit, with only the following changes.

Radio buttons

The original unit had what are called "radio" buttons, meaning that when a button is pressed, it pops all of the

others up so that only one can be down at a time. Since these radio buttons are highly customized and outside

the reach of DIYers, I converted them to toggle switches.

The function is the same, but you'll notice there are only three of these switches while the original unit has

four. This is because the first button on the DC-2 does not actually connect anything—it only resets the other

buttons. Accordingly, in the Blueshift, if all of the toggles are down (off) then that is the equivalent of preset 1. If

the first toggle is up, that's preset 2, and so on.

The advantage of this setup over the original is that you can combine the modes to produce a total of seven

different settings.

Bypass

The original unit uses the standard BOSS flip-flop bypass. The Blueshift has been designed to use a stomp

switch and opto-FET in a configuraton that allows you to choose from two different bypass options. The first

method mimics the signal path in the original, while the second method only passes the signal through a single

op-amp buffer before splitting it into effect and output.

See page 15 for more information on these bypass methods.
