The Real-World Problems DuGyte Systems Solve:
The real-world problems musicians face with pedalboard setups can be overwhelming, and Dugyte has developed a solution for each. Here's how Dugyte helps:
1. Eliminates Cable Clutter
The average pedalboard has up to 7 cables running in all directions: signal cables, power cables, ground wires, and more. Dugyte combines these into one single cable, reducing clutter and making setup, transport, and teardown simpler than ever.
2. Simplifies Complex Connections
For those using multi-effects units like Fractal or Helix, traditional setups often require multiple cables for different routing methods (Pre/Post, 4CM, etc.). Dugyte combines 4, 5, or even 6 cable methods into just one cable, allowing for seamless integration of complex setups without changing cables every time you want to switch modes.
3. Noise Reduction from AC and DC Power Isolation
One of the biggest problems with pedalboard setups is the persistent hum or buzz that comes from improper grounding or power interference. Dugyte tackles this by isolating both AC and DC power, ensuring earth isolation that eliminates hum at its source. For AC power, this is especially critical, as improper grounding can lead to serious noise issues, especially with large rigs.
5. Fast Set-up and Tear-Down
Whether you're in a studio or touring, time is of the essence when setting up your gear. Dugyte's system is designed for quick setup — less than 30 seconds and you’re ready to play! No more spending hours untangling cables or struggling to figure out how to plug everything in.
6. AC or DC Power Options
No need for cumbersome wall warts or power strips on your pedalboard. Dugyte's system works with any AC or DC power source, so you can eliminate the need for separate power supplies. This makes it easier to power pedals without crowding your pedalboard with extra equipment. (model dependant)
7. Works with Any Power Supply
Unlike some pedalboard solutions that require you to use specific power supplies, Dugyte works with any power supply, giving you the freedom to use the one that fits your setup without restriction.
8. Custom Options for Every Player
Whether you’re a bedroom guitarist or a touring professional, Dugyte offers custom solutions to meet your unique needs. From power options to cable lengths, Dugyte can be tailored to ensure the best fit for your setup. Contact us for Custom Build Quotes.
9. Full Connection to Amp Inputs
One of the most inconvenient aspects of pedalboard setups is having to reach around to the back of your amp to adjust inputs. With Dugyte, all your amp’s inputs, sends, returns, foot switches, wireless connections, etc can be conveniently located on your pedalboard. No more awkward reaching behind your amp or struggling to plug things in. Dugyte allows you to place your entire amp’s I/O right at your feet, on your pedalboard. This allows you to control all amp connections from one central location without leaving your pedalboard area. Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, you’ll have easy access to everything you need.
10. Simplifies Setup and Packup for Touring
Touring musicians face the challenge of quickly setting up and tearing down their rigs. With Dugyte, you can simplify and reduce stress in setup and backup by using a single, reliable system for all your connections. Save time, reduce risks, and keep everything in one place.
Who is Dugyte Designed For?
Dugyte is not just for the pro musician; it’s designed for everyone, from bedroom players to touring pros. Whether you’re playing on a small setup with just a few pedals or working with a complex multi-effects rig, Dugyte can help. It’s versatile enough for any player who wants to simplify their pedalboard connections, reduce cable mess, and improve sound quality.
- Bedroom Players: Dugyte makes your home setup easier, cleaner, and more organized.
- Studio Musicians: Get rid of the mess of cables in the studio and streamline your workflow.
- Touring Professionals: Dugyte’s fast setup and robust design make it the perfect solution for road-ready musicians.
The Origins of Dugyte: Solving Real Problems
Dugyte was created out of the simple desire to make pedalboard setup easier, faster, and quieter. The founder, having spent years dealing with tangled cables, noisy power supplies, and complicated setups, wanted to create a solution that would reduce the stress of getting ready to play. By eliminating the need for multiple cables, hum, and excessive power strips, Dugyte offers a clean, fast, and customizable alternative to the old-school pedalboard setups.
How Dugyte Eliminates Noise and Hum
Dugyte’s power isolation technology and individual grounding for each line help eliminate any unwanted noise or hum that could affect your performance. This technology ensures that both AC and DC power are fully isolated, which is a critical feature for reducing power-related noise.
Furthermore, Dugyte integrates HumBuster cable technology, which allows up to 40 pedals to be connected at the same time without an increase in perceptible noise. This is a major breakthrough in pedalboard setups, as most systems would amplify noise with such a high number of pedals.
Flexibility and Versatility with Multi-Effects Units
For players using advanced multi-effects units like Axe-FX, Helix, or Fractal, Dugyte’s system can accommodate single cable, dual cable, or 4CM setups without the need to switch cables. This means no more cable changes when switching between different configurations. You get the freedom to use the same system for a variety of setups, making it the ultimate flexible solution for any musician.
