British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.
See illustration below.
We recommend that to start with the ISF is set to half way and the
Bass, Middle and Treble are set to taste. Then try gradually
adjusting the ISF CW and CCW until you find the sound you
prefer.
6. Level
The Level control sets the overall level or volume from the pedal.
It should be used in conjunction with the Gain control to achieve
the exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking at lower
Gain settings the Volume will be increased and at higher Gain
settings the Volume should be decreased.
7. Output
This output is for connection to the input of your amplifier or into
other pedals or effects. For best noise performance we
recommend you place the overdrive pedal first in the effects chain.
Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
8. Speaker Emulated Output
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker
cabinet and provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection
to a recording device or mixing desk. Always use a good quality
screened guitar lead.
9. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar
lead.

Controls
1. Gain
The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that
the pedal will deliver. As the Gain control is increased clockwise
(CW) the sound becomes more overdriven moving through crunch
tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is
arrived at.
2. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in
your tone. This pedal has an advanced tone shaping circuit which
allows the tone to be tight and cutting, counter clockwise (CCW),
to warm and thumping (CW).
3. Middle
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in
your tone. The middle frequencies are particularly important in
getting the amount of ‘body’ your tone has. With the Middle
control set to its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound will be
aggressive and scooped, this is a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm
playing. As the Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of
‘body’ is increased, which is more suitable for sustained lead
guitar tones.
4. Treble
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble
frequencies within the sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound
will be warm and darker in character. As the Treble control is
increased (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum
settings the sound will be aggressive and cutting.
5. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and
Treble controls. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature
you prefer. Fully CCW is a more American characteristic with a
tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW is a
