Overdrive Controls

5.

 

LEVEL – This dial sets the output volume of the Overdrive.

6.

 

GAIN

 

– This dial sets the amount of gain in the Overdrive. Since the

Pigtronix Overdrive is touch sensitive, you can set the gain control higher
than you might on a different pedal and still achieve soft distortion by
playing softly. With the gain set all the way counter-clockwise, the
Overdrive circuit will act as a clean booster.

7.

 

TONE – This dial sets the cutoff frequency for the Overdrive. Unlike most
overdrive tone knobs, this control is bypassed when it is fully clockwise. As
the tone control is turned counterclockwise, more high frequencies will be
filtered out of the Overdrive sound. You may wish to set this control higher
than you would on an standard overdrive pedal

OVERDRIVE FOOTSWITCH/LED – This footswitch engages the Overdrive.
When the Overdrive is on, the LED above the footswitch will shine blue.

Fuzz Controls

8.

 

LEVEL - This dial sets the output volume of the Fuzz.

9.

 

GAIN – This dial sets the amount of gain in the Fuzz. Though not as
drastically touch sensitive as the Overdrive, the Pigtronix Fuzz will still
react to your playing dynamics at high gain settings. With the gain set all
the way counter-clockwise, the Fuzz circuit will act as a clean booster.

10.

 

SHAPE – This 6-way rotary switch allows you to select any one of six
different filters for the Fuzz.

1= Full Range
2= F.A.T. (Mid Boosted)
3= Smooth
4= Treble
5= Mid Scoop
6= Bass

11.

 

FUZZ FOOTSWITCH/LED - This footswitch engages the Fuzz. When the Fuzz
is on, the LED above the footswitch will shine red.

Octava Controls

12.

 

LEVEL – This dial sets the output volume of the Octava. 

This control is

only active when the Octava is used by itself. When the Octava is used
in conjunction with Overdrive and/or Fuzz, the Octava Level control is
bypassed.

13.

 

FILTER – This dial sets the cutoff frequency of the signal going into the

Octava (and the Fuzz/Overdrive when the Octava is in use). As the tone
control is turned counterclockwise, more high frequencies will be filtered
when the Octava is in use. This is similar to turning down the tone knob on
your guitar. This control is bypassed when it is fully clockwise.

14.

 

OCTAVA FOOTSWITCH/LED - This footswitch engages the Octava. When the
Octava is on, the LED above the footswitch will shine green.
