CHANNEL ONE / TONE BOOST

Provides a VOLUME or level match control to maintain sound play 

reference volumewhen accessing this TONE channel. Consider 

this channel to be both your tone boost channel and  clean-play 

channel where optional tone color may be desired without over-

drive artifacts. As a reference-type channel only, the MASTER does 

not affect it. 

CONTROL MODE - READOUT: Even under lowest ambient light, 

pedal mode is easily confirmed via:

RED - GAIN BOOST

YELLOW - TONE BOOST

GREEN - TRUE BYPASS vs EFFECT

CHANNEL TWO / GAIN BOOST

Provides a GAIN boost or overdrive effect as a function of the GAIN 

& MASTER settings. In this manner, MASTER provides a dual-

purpose in that it too will ensure proper level match. In general, 

CLEAN play is best achieved with these settings: 

GAIN LOWER + MASTER HIGHER

and HI-GAIN sound is best achieved with these settings:

GAIN MASTER LOWER

Additional BASS and TREBLE controls are technically both ACTIVE 

and INTERACTIVE to very quickly produce a wide variety of thin to 

fat tube tones with only minor adjustment.
