CONNECTING:

1.  For optimum use, we recommend a regulated and/or isolated 9V DC power adapter 

that is rated higher than the pedal’s current rating (or collection of pedals if using a 

daisy chain configuration). Only use a 9V DC power supply with the following center 

negative symbol: 

(Note: Battery Power – By removing the four screws on the rear panel, you can 

access the battery terminal and power the pedal via 9V DC battery).  

2.  Input Jack – Plug the cable from your source into the input jack. (Note: When using 

a 9V battery, we recommend unplugging from the input jack to preserve battery 

power when not in use). 

3.  Output Jack - Connect the cable from the output jack to another pedal or directly 

into your amplifier. 

BASIC OPERATION:

4.  True Bypass On/Off Switch – Use this to turn the effect on and off. (Note: True 

Bypass – This is a hardwire bypass allowing no coloration of your tone while the 

pedal is in the off position).  

5.  Gain – This setting determines the amount of gain the unit generates. When the 

knob is turned all the way to the left it will generate little to no gain and when 

turned all the way right it will deliver maximum gain. 

6.  Level – Use this to determine the output level from the pedal. Overall headroom 

will be different depending on your choice of pedals and amplifier, so experiment 

to find the best results for your style of playing and gear.  

7.  Voice – Controls the frequency response in the clipping stage, affecting both the tone 

and feel. Turn the knob left for a smoother, fatter tone and right for a glassier tone. 

8.  Treble – Use this knob to cut (counterclockwise) or boost (clockwise) Horsemeat’s 

response to higher frequencies. You will find rich harmonic response even at the 

highest settings.   

9.  Bass - Use this knob to cut (counterclockwise) or boost (clockwise) the pedal’s 

response to lower frequencies. Turning the bass response all the way up will boost 

your low-end to places many have never experienced.
