Safety Precautions

Please be sure to observe these precautions.  The safety precautions listed
below are intended to ensure your safety whenever you use the equipment.

NEVER OPEN THE CASE – Never try to separate the two pieces of the chassis
from one another and/or modify the equipment.  Opening this device will
effectively void the warranty.

STOP USE IN CASE OF PROBLEM – Stop using the equipment if ever you should
notice smoke or a strange odor coming from it.  Contact your original dealer or
nearest authorized service provider for service.

AVOID HIGH TEMPERATURES & HEAT BUILD UP – Never cover AC adaptor with
cloth or other objects.  Built up heat creates a danger of equipment
deformation and fire.  Do not expose the OFO to direct sunlight, heating
devices, or other extreme temperatures.

USE SPECIFIED POWER ADAPTOR ONLY – Be sure to use only the 15-Volt DC
Adapter that came with your Pigtronix EP-1 and is specified in this user’s guide.

DO NOT EXPOSE TO WATER/BEER – To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose your OFO to rain or moisture.  If water gets inside the unit, turn
off the power supply and consult your dealer or nearest authorized service
provider.

Final Notes

Years of work have gone into making this pedal a reality.  We would like to
thank the following people for their help along the way:

Howard Davis, Steve Spano, Lisa Rickmers, The Bethke and Koltai Families,
Verne Andru, Matt Smith, Hugh Pool, Maroon 5, Soulive, Dave Burnett, Nate
Mars, Craig Brodhead, Ed Supple, Analogman, Sky, Candy, Sam and B-Dawg.

The PIGTRONIX OFO Disnortion was designed by Howard “Mick” Davis and David
Koltai during the fall of 2005 in Brooklyn, NY.

That is it folks, now go have fun with your new Disnortion pedal!

Peace,

Dave Koltai & Brian Bethke
