I've had this unit awhile and have enjoyed it's wide range of sonic options. The original power supply has been replaced with a perfectly working matched 3rd party supply. Powers up just fine. There is a click in the Expression pedal when you step down on it, but it does not come through the internals of the pedal and into the guitar sound at all. It's just heard in person under your foot. Again, it does not affect the guitar effect/tone/signal at all, just a click in the plastic under the foot. I no longer have a printed manual but I do have a pdf I can email you.
Details DOD's TEC8 floor-controlled multi-effects processor just got one step better with the addition of the company's successful Grunge(TM) distortion circuitry.
Now known as the TEC8G, the processor can produce sounds ranging from a blues cabinet to a full-on Grunge stack to a comprehensive multi-effects rack unit. Capable of handling up to eight of its 15 available analog and digital effects at one time, the TEC8G provides guitarists total effect control via its built-in Expression Controller pedal, which can be used to adjust volume, wah, tremolo speed, chorus depth and more-all in real time.
Designed to feel very natural underfoot, the TEC8G's ergonomic Expression Controller is angled slightly to the right, and generous space is provided between each of the footswitches for precise effect or program selection. A Jam-Along-Jack(TM) allows the musician to plug in a CD or cassette player for accompaniment, while a headphone jack comes in handy in those moments when an amplifier cannot be used. A built-in tuner also eliminates cluttering up the signal path with another piece of gear. The TEC8G comes equipped with 30 factory-preset effect combinations and memory for 30 additional user-defined programs. Programmable effects include DOD's exclusive new analog IT and Grind distortions, analog Wah, flexible three-band EQ, Noise Gate, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser. Tremolo, Ring Modulator, Pixellator, Pitch Shift, Detune, Mono and Tap Delays, and Reverb.
