1. 서론
The TC Electronic MIMIQ DOUBLER is a guitar effects pedal designed to simulate the sound of multiple guitar tracks playing in unison. It adds depth and thickness to your guitar tone by creating up to three additional virtual guitar tracks, each with slight variations in timing and pitch, mimicking the natural imperfections of human performance. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining your MIMIQ DOUBLER pedal.
2. 안전 지침
Before using the MIMIQ DOUBLER, please read and understand the following safety precautions:
- 전원 공급 장치: Use only a regulated 9V DC power supply with a center-negative plug, providing at least 100mA. Incorrect voltage or polarity can damage the unit and void the warranty.
- 물과 습기: Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, or extreme humidity. Avoid placing liquids near the pedal.
- 열: Do not place the unit near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation.

제어 및 연결:
- Dubs Switch: A three-position toggle switch to select the number of virtual doubled tracks (1, 2, or 3).
- Tightness Knob: Adjusts the precision of the doubled tracks. Lower settings create a looser, more natural feel, while higher settings result in a tighter, more synchronized sound.
- Effect Knob: Controls the output level of the doubled signal.
- Dry Knob: Controls the output level of your original, unprocessed guitar signal.
- 트루 바이패스 풋스위치: Engages or bypasses the doubling effect. When bypassed, your signal passes through unaffected.
- Stereo In / Mono Input: Connect your guitar or previous pedal in the signal chain here. For mono operation, use the left input. For stereo, use both inputs.
- Stereo Out / Mono Output: 당신에게 연결 amplifier(s) or next pedal. For mono operation, use the left output. For stereo, use both outputs.
- 9V DC 전원 입력: Connect a regulated 9V DC, center-negative power supply (minimum 100mA).
- USB 포트: 펌웨어 업데이트용.

4. 설정
Follow these steps to integrate the MIMIQ DOUBLER into your guitar rig:
- 전원 연결: Connect a compatible 9V DC, center-negative power supply (not included) to the 9V DC input jack on the rear of the pedal.
- Guitar/Input Connection:
- 모노 설정: Connect your guitar or the output of your preceding pedal to the 'Stereo In Mono' (left) input jack.
- 스테레오 설정: If using a stereo signal source, connect the left channel to the 'Stereo In Mono' (left) input and the right channel to the 'Stereo In' (right) input.
- Amplifier/Output Connection:
- 모노 설정: Connect the 'Stereo Out Mono' (left) output jack to your amplifier의 입력.
- 스테레오 설정: Connect the 'Stereo Out Mono' (left) output to your left amplifier/channel and the 'Stereo Out' (right) output to your right amplifier/channel. This configuration is recommended for the most immersive doubling effect.
- 초기 설정: For a starting point, set the 'Tightness' knob to 12 o'clock, 'Effect' to 3 o'clock, and 'Dry' to 12 o'clock. Set the 'Dubs' switch to '2'. Adjust to taste from there.
5. 운영
The MIMIQ DOUBLER allows for precise control over the doubling effect. Experiment with the knobs and switch to find your desired sound.

제어 기능:
- Dubs Switch (1, 2, 3): This switch determines how many additional virtual guitar tracks are generated. '1' adds one track, '2' adds two, and '3' adds three. More tracks create a thicker, more expansive sound.
- Tightness Knob: This control adjusts the subtle timing and pitch variations between the original and doubled tracks. A lower 'Tightness' setting introduces more human-like imperfections, making the doubled tracks sound less synchronized. A higher 'Tightness' setting makes the tracks align more closely, resulting in a very precise and unified sound.
- Effect Knob: Use this knob to set the volume level of the generated doubled tracks. Increase for a more prominent doubling effect, decrease for subtlety.
- Dry Knob: This knob controls the volume level of your original, unprocessed guitar signal. Balance this with the 'Effect' knob to achieve the desired blend of dry and doubled sound.
- 트루 바이패스 풋스위치: Press the footswitch to toggle the effect on or off. The LED indicator will illuminate when the effect is active. True bypass ensures your signal remains uncolored when the pedal is disengaged.
6. 유지관리
The MIMIQ DOUBLER is a robust pedal, but proper care ensures its longevity:
- 청소: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the pedal. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- 저장: 장기간 사용하지 않을 경우, 페달을 직사광선과 극한 온도 변화를 피해 서늘하고 건조한 곳에 보관하십시오.
- 사이: 주기적으로 모든 케이블 연결부의 마모 상태를 점검하십시오. 신호 손실이나 노이즈를 방지하려면 손상된 케이블은 교체하십시오.
7. 문제 해결
If you encounter issues with your MIMIQ DOUBLER, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| 문제 | 가능한 원인 | 해결책 |
|---|---|---|
| 페달을 밟아도 소리가 나지 않습니다. | Incorrect power supply; faulty cables; 'Effect' or 'Dry' knobs set to zero. | Verify power supply (9V DC, 100mA, center-negative). Check all audio cables. Ensure 'Effect' and 'Dry' knobs are not fully counter-clockwise. |
| Volume drop when engaged. | 'Effect' and/or 'Dry' knobs set too low relative to bypass volume. | Adjust 'Effect' and 'Dry' knobs to achieve unity gain or desired boost when the pedal is active. |
| 원치 않는 소음이나 윙윙거리는 소리. | 접지 루프; 전원 공급 장치 불량; 다른 전자 장치와의 간섭. | Use a high-quality, isolated power supply. Try different power outlets. Ensure all cables are in good condition. Move the pedal away from other electronic devices. |
| Doubling effect is too subtle or too extreme. | 'Tightness', 'Effect', or 'Dubs' settings are not optimized. | Experiment with the 'Tightness' knob to adjust the feel. Increase 'Effect' for more prominent doubling. Change the 'Dubs' switch setting to add or remove tracks. |
