Here's What Disaster Area Say About the DPC.Micro

The DPC.micro is our most compact loop switching controller, featuring three true bypass effects loops in a 125B enclosure.

The DPC.micro works as a standalone device, to switch three separate pedals or signal chains, or as a MIDI-controlled loop expander for your rig.

Each loop may be controlled using a MIDI CC message or program change message, and the DPC.micro can store up to 120 preset combinations for instant recall over MIDI.

The DPC.micro is also available in an under-board mount version with no footswitches.  The under-board version features a programming pushbutton to select the loops and save presets, located on the side next to the MIDI input.

Features

  • Three true-bypass effects loops using gold-contact relays
  • Adjustable muting relay for click / pop suppression or audio mute function
  • Standard 5-pin MIDI input and output to interface with other devices or controllers
  • Compact Size – 4.8″ x 2.6″ x 1.4″, same size as Boss, Chase Bliss, or Alexander pedals
  • Available with soft-touch footswitches or in a switchless version with programming button on the left side.
  • Multi-color LED indicators to show loop status or preset selection
  • USB port connects to your DAW or mobile device for MIDI communication or firmware update.
  • Runs on standard 9V power, 100mA or less

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Tags

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.

USB

Provides a Universal Serial Bus connection for power, audio, MIDI, firmware or editing data. The supported USB class and connector do not by themselves show its purpose; channel count, sample format, host compatibility and power demand define the actual function.
