SECTION 4 – Finishing Up

Fasten the knobs to the potentiometer shafts by tightening their set screws. Install a 9 volt battery if 
needed. Fasten the cover using the four screws provided. Plug your guitar into the input jack on the 
right side of the pedal. This turns power on when you are not using an AC adapter for power. Plug 
another cable from the output jack (left side) to your amp's input.

When using a battery for power, remember to unplug from the input jack of the pedal to turn it off and 
save battery life.

It’s always a good idea to thoroughly double-check your connections before applying power. This will 
minimize the risk of damaging components.

If your pedal does not work properly, the first step is always to double-check your connections. If 
everything looks good, then e-mail [email protected] for troubleshooting help.

Locate the battery snap connector. Connect its red wire to the power jack's "positive switch" lug and 
connect its black wire to the input jack's ring lug
