OUTPUT & TONE Control - The larger outside knob 

(Tone Control) controls the final HIGH FREQUEN

-

CY.  The smaller inside knob (Output Control) adjusts 

the final output gain 0db to +3dBu.

 

GERMANIUM DIODES Switches - these two switch-

es turn ON and OFF the positive and negative portion 

of the overdrive.

+ Applies clipping to the positive portion of overdrive.

- applies clipping to the negative portion of overdrive.

9VDC Input - This input jack provides 9VDC power 

to the pedal from the Rocktron DC OnTap 9V power 

supply (sold separately).

DRIVE & D-RANGE Control- The larger outside 

knob (D-Range Control) Determines how much 

soft knee clipping compression is applied.  Controls 

dynamic range (waveform excursion) of the assigned 

+ or – Germanium process.  The smaller inside knob 

(Drive Control) adjusts the overdrive gain (before the 

Germanium diode circuitry.

INPUT Jack - Using a standard 1/4” guitar cable, plug 

your guitar into this jack.
