Knob Functionality
1.
Vol(ume)
- Adjusts the overall volume of the unit. The fully counterclockwise
position is zero.
2.
Gain -
Adjusts the amount of gain in the unit. For cleaner settings, rotate
counterclockwise. The maximum gain in the pedal is also limited by the Voice knob
settings. To set the maximum gain in the pedal, the Voice knob must be rotated fully
clockwise.
3.
Voice
-
“Tunes” the pedal to the amplifier and guitar. The Voice knob performs two
functions:
a.
Limits or increases the total amount of gain in the pedal. To limit the gain,
rotate counterclockwise. To increase the gain, rotate clockwise.
b.
Adjusts the bottom-end response of the pedal. To increase the bottom-end
response, rotate counterclockwise. To reduce the bottom-end, rotate the
clockwise. Remember to adjust the Gain knob to compensate for changes in
the overall gain of the pedal which occur during the Voice knob adjustment
process.
4.
Tone
-
Performs a basic “high cut” function. With the Tone knob set fully
counterclockwise, high frequencies are fully attenuated.
5.
In/ Out Jacks -
