The Guitar Knob

The Red Special Pedal was designed to work 

in conjunction with Brian’s Red Special guitar, 

but it can also be used with single-coil or 

humbucker-equipped guitars. 
The pedal’s proprietary Guitar Knob (outer 

ring, second knob from the right) uses Guitar 

Modeling technology to transform your 

guitar’s tone to sound more like Brian’s.
If your guitar has single coil pickups (like a 

Stratocaster

TM

), turn the Guitar Knob to SC. 

If your guitar has humbucking pickups (like 

a Les Paul

TM

), turn the Guitar Knob to HB. If 

you’re playing a Red Special replica, turn the 

Guitar Knob to Red Special.
Note that you can fine tune the Guitar 

Knob’s position between the HB and the Red 

Special settings, and between the SC and the 

Red Special settings (they are ranges). But the 

Red Special setting itself is a single point (not 

a range).
