Operating Overview

LEVEL, DRIVE, & TONE: Do you really need an explaination of what these knobs do?

DC power supply - Use a 2.5mm negative tip 9VDC adaptor (this is your standard guitar

fx style adaptor). If using battery power, only use a single 9V battery.

Current Draw - 2.5mA

Input Impedance - 511k ohms

Output Impedance - 10k ohms
