DRIVE pot affects all channels, including the mono channel. Keep in mind that a pinch less driven
guitar can sound a lot better in recording.
Adjust GAIN pot to feed the Drive Circuit with a signal powerful enough for you taste.
Use DRY pot to mix in some unaffected signal, giving you more attack, punch and transparency
just like a certain expensive guitar pedal named after a horse-legged creature in Greek
mythology. Note that DRY acts as your clean level and is independent of LEVEL pot.
Use MONO pot if you feel like adding mono signal to your sound. Your monophonic pickups
might not be in unity gain with your hexaphonic ones and are also affected by your guitar’s
volume pots.
Adjust LEVEL KNOB to feed your guitar amp or other device with matching signal level. Keep in
mind that too hot signal can overfeed your amp's preamp tubes or mixer's op-amps, resulting in
unpleasant distortion. We suggest to turn up the amp first and then turn up 6Appeal's output
level. If you really need hotter signal for your mixer or soundcard, add the OUTPUT BOOST from
a menu.

Each Preset Memory Slot 1…23 holds data of one preset, which in most cases is an overdrive
and/or modulated sound. Your clean/bypassed/effect off (FX off) setting is stored in Preset
Memory Slot 24.
You can turn effects on/off by activating/deactivating Preset 24 (clean) with FX FOOTSWITCH.
Note that your selected Preset 1..23 still remains selected. While in clean mode, you can browse
to any other preset, and then deactivate clean (turn FX on again).
The main purpose of the clean preset is to provide healthy unaffected signal for the next
hexaphonic effect pedal in line. The only thing you should do with it, is to bring it to unity or near
unity gain with your overdriven setting or vice versa, otherwise you blast the ears on audience.
If you really need to, you can turn your clean preset dirty, or, alternatively, mute it by turning
LEVEL all the way down.
In an overdriven preset setting the clean sound that you mix in using DRY POT is not affected by
the clean channel settings, stored in Preset 24.
