CONNECTION AND USE
• Connecting to instrument and amplifier/gear: connect your instrument
(or gear effects chain) to the Input jack on the pedal’s right side with a
6.3mm Jack instrument cable. Connect the output jack on the pedal’s left
side to an amplifier (or to the next effects in your chain) with a 6.3mm Jack
instrument cable.
• Battery: to access the battery compartment, remove the four screws on
the bottom cover. Connect the 9V battery (6LF22 type) to the battery clip
connector. Do not reverse the polarity! Insert the battery into the enclo-
sure compartment located under the footswitch. Be careful not to damage
the wires and/or the battery clip. To preserve battery life disconnect the
instrument cable from the pedal Input jack when the pedal is not in use.
• Power supply operating: connect a 9V stabilized external power supply
adapter to the pedal’s power connector located on the right side (5.5mm
connector with 2.1mm pole type). Do not reverse polarity! (external posi-
tive, internal negative). In the presence of reversed polarity the pedal will
not power up; no damage will be caused below 25V reversed polarity.
CAUTION! Do not connect Gegè Fuzz in a common ground multi-
ple output power supply!
CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
GAIN: controls the amount of gain and fuzz distortion. It is a wide range con-
trol that allows fine calibration of overall distortion, whether using Single Coil
or Humbucker pickups.
VOLUME: controls the post-distortion output level and can considerably ex-
ceed the signal bypass level to achieve Solo boost.
TONE: controls highs to get either a warmer or brighter sounds.
Toggle switch Natural/Broken Speaker:
•
In “Natural” position Gegè de-
livers a “Classic” easy-to-use Fuzz effect. In “Broken Speaker” position it
gives a very dirty and “grating” sound that resembles a damaged speaker
cone or a Bass/Baritone Sax-like tone, useful also for Garage/Beat style.
Toggle switch Fuzzy/Fatty:
•
controls the amount of the bass tones. In
“Fuzzy” mode it gives a bright sound, while in “Fatty” mode it provides
more mid-bass amount giving a very fat sound.
Dynamic killer:
•
Gegè has an internal dip-switch command, located betwe-
en the two germanium transistors. With Diynamic Killer function you can
choose the amount of distortion compression in the presence of a very
strong input signal. In the “Off” position it provides heavy compression,
with large attack signals; set to “On” to get more dynamics. The Dynamic
Killer has more effect on guitars equipped with high-output Humbucker pi-
ckups and it has low/no influence on Single Coil pickups. We recommend ca-
reful adjustment of the dip-switch, with a small screwdriver. Disconnect the
power supply and the Input jack before carrying out any modifications.
