The Disaster Area SMARTClock Gen3 is an intelligent tap tempo and
clock source for your pedalboard. Synchronize up to four separate
tap-tempo pedals plus multiple MIDI-clock capable units.

The SMARTClock Gen3 is simple to use just tap the footswitch and all your gear will synchronize to its internal clock.

Dont feel like tapping in the time? Spin the illuminated knob to
set the tempo in 1.0 or 0.5 BPM increments for more precise adjustments.

Tap the knob to view or change the subdivisions or output settings
for each jack, then hold the knob to save the current settings to a
preset.

Hold the footswitch down to advance to the next preset. You can even
set the number of accessible presets so that you only use what you
need.

Each tempo preset allows you to specify a tempo in BPM or
milliseconds, as well as subdivisions or toggle settings for each of the
4 outputs. You can also set the SMARTClock to send a MIDI Program
Change to an external MIDI device.

Compatibility Tap Outputs

The SMARTClock Gen3 is compatible with virtually every pedal or
effects unit equipped with a remote tap tempo input jack. In toggle
mode, the SMARTClock outputs can work as a fixed expression control
with many devices. Please note that some devices may require the use of
a TRS / stereo cable or to have the SMARTClocks pull-up resistors
enabled for certain functions.
