CONTROLS
1. GAIN controls the gain of the circuit. A lower setting
creates a pick-sensitive tone with excellent dynamics,
while a higher setting brings a massively overdriven
tone.
2. DOOM controls the pre-distortion equalization which
determines the amount of low-end grunt present
in your tone. This control moves from a tight bass to
a long sustain, giving you a liquid, solo-ready tone.
3. VOLUME sets the output volume of the pedal.
4. TREBLE control is a passive, natural sounding low-pass filter. It cuts high end and offers a wide frequency
range. Turned clockwise, it becomes raw, aggressive and cuts through. Turned counterclockwise, it cuts
highs for a warmer and more mellow tone. With different amps, the tone can be bright or dark; use this
control to set the ideal amount of brightness/top end.
5. The HI/LO switch switch is tied directly into the gain. The lo setting offers a massive chunky overdrive,
great for rhythm playing. The hi setting adds more saturation, sustain, low end and compression. This
setting is recommended for soloing.
6. GATE controls the background noise of your tone. This allows the stronger gain signal to pass, while
weaker humming or hissing is blocked. Turn the gate clockwise for noise reduction, but avoid pushing
the gate with lower gain settings; this could negatively impact the decay of your tone.
7. FOOTSWITCH engages your Dark Blood to “on” or True bypass mode.
