DigiTech PDS3500 Programmable MIDI Controller Foot Switch System

Late 80s Midi Controller that is able to store 1,984 MIDI program change messages via 64 Banks of 31 Presets.

The PDS-3500, THE MIDI PEDAL, is a foot controller that will let you enter a series of MIDI pro-gram changes and recall them at the tap of your foot. Although the PDS-3500 is in a foot switch format, the touch pads can be actuated with the gentle touch of your finger so that you could use the unit on top of your keyboard. With the addition of the FX-17, Wah/Volume controller pedal, the PDS-3500 can be used to control MIDI specification continuous controllers like volume and modulation depth, as well as pitch bend and channel pressure. The PDS-3500 is housed in a DigiTech dual foot switch cast-metal housing. The left foot switch pad is the BANK/STORE switch. It is used to advance the BANK number and to store data when programming. The right foot switch is the PRESET/INCREMENT switch and it is used to advance the PRESET number and increment the data values during programming. The top of the housing has two three-position slide switches. The left-hand slide switch is the MODE SWITCH. It selects the OPERATE mode, the PROGRAM mode, or selects the PEDAL STATUS number during programming. The right-hand slide switch is the DATA SWITCH. It selects during OPERATE(ing), one of two operating modes: BANK/PRESET or BANK DUMP or during PROGRAM(ming) selects: BANK and PRESET, PROGRAM CHANGE number or MIDI CHANNEL number. The PDS-3500 also has a four-number LED display mounted on the top of the chassis. On the right side of the PDS-3500 chassis are two jacks: the D to +5 volt input from the FX-17 pedal and the A.C. power adapter jack.
