Bypass Switch
– Simple enough, this relay based soft switch is wired up for true bypass switching to
ensure that you don't have anything in the way when you disable the pedal. The LED indicator light
will show that when the pedal is activated.
Volume
– This controls the output level of the pedal. It works just like the volume knob on your
guitar or your amp. As you raise the
FUZZ
knob, and depending on how you adjust the
BRIGHT-
NESS
control and switches, you may need to raise or lower them to have the same output level.
That's perfectly normal. We suggest that initially you find where “unity” volume is (when the affected
sound level is the same as the unaffected sound level) and work from there.
Fuzz
– As you can probably guess, this controls the amount of fuzz that is heard. The more you turn
it clockwise, the fuzzier the sound will become. As usual the amount of fuzz achieved and the style of
the fuzz differs depending on where the switch is. This is explained fully below.
Brightness
– 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 Brightness knob. You will find that this knob reacts
differently depending on the voicing option, again - play with it on each setting and see which one is
best for you
Big / Tight
– The beauty of this pedal is the options you get from this switch. With the switch in the
up position, you will get a bigger sound that has a fat but creamy fuzz quality to it but cleans up with
the guitar's volume control just as good (if not better) than those vintage 2 knob fuzz pedals.The
volume pot on the guitar can really change the dynamics in this position.
In the down position, the tone is tighter and feels a bit more distortion like – yet a creamy fuzz tone
that is bordering on the edge between distortion and fuzz. Again, it’s really worth taking the time to
hear the difference in flipping between these two and finding which of the tones will work best for
you.
IMPORTANT.
Placing the pedal after a buffer may make it react
AND
sound different from design - especially in big mode. It is best placed
outside or before any buffering.
