Gain – This controls how much dirt you get from the pedal. At lower
settings, it will be very nearly clean even if you dig in. Around 9 o'clock,
it starts to get some crunch when you dig in (or if you have a high
output guitar). By noon, it's really grooving, and past there you've got
the potential for real distortion. Again, this control will interact some-
what with the Volume control. As you raise it, you may need to lower
the Volume to keep the signal level even. You'll also find that the same
Tone settings don't work at all Gain settings.
Tone – This adjusts between a much darker, bassier sound at the fully
counterclockwise position, to a very highs-forward, present sound fully
clockwise. As with most tonal adjustments, you're probably going to
find the right fit for your gear somewhere between the extremes. It's
not a bad idea to start at noon and adjust in small increments from
there to let your ears get used to the sound of the pedal as you raise or
lower the Tone knob. The Tone knob on this pedal doesn't stand alone,
however – there are two switches which contribute strongly to how
you'll want to adjust the Tone.
Presence Switch – This kicks in a little extra sparkle on top. Depending
on how you have the other tone controls set, it may have more or less of
an effect. If you feel like the highs need a boost, this switch is it! The
switch is ON in the up position, and OFF in the down position.
Mid Contour Toggle – This three-way switch is the basis of the substan-
tial flexibility of the Paisley Drive, and one of the things that makes it
stand out as possibly the most versatile three-knob overdrive you've
ever owned! Each setting completely changes the basic voicing of the
midrange frequencies, where the majority of your guitar's notes live and
breathe. It interacts with the Tone control, the Presence Switch, and
even the Gain knob, and as such it will require some careful attention to
learn completely. The
bottom position
emphasizes mids in a way that
can really thicken up a guitar tone and put it right out front. The
middle
position
pulls everything in the midrange back, and gives the overall
sound a glassy character, great for smooth rhythm playing with a touch
of chime. The
top position
is a sort of balance between the other two,
and offers a fairly even sounding tone that doesn't push but also
doesn't pull the midrange. Each setting is like having a different pedal
underfoot, so learning to use the Mid Contour toggle is absolutely key
to getting the most out of the Paisley Drive
