Fostex DE-1 User Manual

DE-1 Owner’s Manual

Thank you very much for having purchased the
Fostex DE-1.
This unit is a completely independent two channel
Multi Effect Processor that employs the A. S. P. (Fostex
Advanced Signal Processing Technology), which is
newly developed by Fostex. It provides high quality
ambient effects almost equivalent to a professional
effect processor.  In addition to the typical Reverbs,
it offers not only various practical algorithms such
as Delay, Chorus, Flanger and Pitch Bend, but some
combinations of these are also available, e.g.,
Delay+Reverb. You can choose 11 variations of the
algorithm to obtain a maximum of 121 types of
different effects.

Also, the DE-1 offers two operation modes as “Dual
Mode” and “Single Mode”. The “Dual Mode” works
twice as much as an independent single channel Multi
Effect Processor, which configures as 1 Input -  2
Output times two. The “Single Mode” works as a 2
Input -  2 Output Multi Effect Processor.

You can use the unit by connecting it to the AUX
Send and AUX Return of an Audio Mixer for a
recording. Also you can directly connect the output
from your musical instruments (Line Level only) to
the unit so that it will be a useful aid in your live
performance.

To fully exploit all of its many useful features and
functions, we recommend you read this manual first
before you start using the DE-1.

* When unplugging the AC adaptor from the outlet,

be sure to grasp the adaptor.  Attempting to unplug
it by pulling on the AC cable may damage the

or frayed.  If the power cable is damaged,
immediately stop using it, and have it repaired.

* Do not plug  in or unplug the AC adaptor with wet

Doing so may result in a dangerous electric shock,
and could damage the unit.

* Do not let water or other liquids, flammable

materials, or metal objects such as pins get inside
the unit.  These things may cause electrical shock
or short circuit the DE-1, and damage it.
If the DE-1 should become wet, unplug the AC
adaptor from the AC outlet, and contact your
authorized service station.

* Avoid using the DE-1 in the following  locations:

* Locations of extreme low or high temperatures, or

extreme changes in temperature.

* Locations with excessive moisture or dust.

* Locations where direct sunlight falls for an

extended time, or near a stove or other source of
heat.

* Locations where electrical voltage varies.

* Unstable locations or where there is heavy

vibration.

* Near strong magnetic fields (on top of a television

or speaker).
