DC Assistant -
Thank you for your trust and for selecting Taurus effects pedal.
Taurus is made by musicians for musicians. It's been our philosophy to provide you with the best possible quality,
fully professional, superior musical equipment.
While designing this device we've taken in consideration that it requires more than just selecting the correct
parameters, best components and hand crafting to achieve the perfect balance between technology and sound.
Our very close collaboration with musicians has helped us to design and manufacture high quality equipment
which will exceed your expectations and needs.
We at Taurus, extend our gratitude and wish you great musical experience, sonic adventures and explorations
with our gear which will become your faithful companion!
please note that analog effects supplied with 12V give 33% higher dynamics than
with 9V.
protects from loss of signal. Effect switches automatically to the "bypass mode" in case of
disconnection or low voltage of DC supply (<6V).

is an octaver which enables polyphonic transposition of sound up and down
an octave. Both octaves can be freely mixed with instrument signal. You can use only upper or lower octave
or both at the same time. Polyphony is built by a high-quality 24-bit DSP. The octaver is equipped with
regulators of both octaves, which means that you can easily shape the sound of an instrument. With the use
of the regulators you can eliminate unwanted tones, which may sometimes appear in octaves and e.g. blur
the sound or change the sound of an instrument too much. It turns out that wideband audio processing by an
octaver might be undesirable in some situations. This is why the regulators prove to be very useful by
allowing a player to create the right sound.

Hi-octave level adjustment.
LO-octave freqency range adjustment. In the MAX position the lower octave runs throughout the
bandwidth and reacts to the entire scale of sound. In the MIN position the lowest frequency is limited, which
means that the lower octave reacts less effectively to the lowest frequency sounds. This way you can
eliminate the lowest sound frequency, which is not clear and blurs the sound of an instrument when playing
lower registers, leaving only the more desirable harmonics.
Hi-octave freqency range adjustment. In the MAX position the upper octave runs throughout the
bandwidth and reacts to the entire scale of sound. In the MIN position the highest frequency of the upper
octave is limited - octaver processes the highest frequency sounds. This way you can eliminate very high
frequencies, which may sound too high and artificial in some instruments when processed in upper octave.
