The controls on the right-hand side of the Grenadier affect tone and volume.
The WAVE switch chooses between triangle and square wave from the VCO.
The XMOD switch applies the VCO waveform to modulate the filterbank cutoff frequency.
The RESO switch converts one of the filterbank’s three VCFs to lowpass mode and increases its Q-
factor. When RESO is active, the low frequency output will increase, and self-oscillation begins when
the DRIVE knob is rotated to near its maximum position.
VOLUME is an attenuator for the Grenadier’s main output.
The main output is a 1/4” mono phone jack. Use a guitar cable or any shielded instrument cable.
Connect MAIN OUT to an instrument amplifier, FX pedal, FX processor, mixing desk line input, -10dB
tape input, computer sound card input, microphone preamplifier, or Hi-Z DI box for stage use when FOH
is far away.

Activating RESO and turning DRIVE to 10 will increase the output volume with
heavy low-frequency distortion.
