The Cool Cat Drive pedal adds a healthy dollop of color to your
guitar tone with plenty of crunch and bloom. It’s very responsive
to touch as well as your guitar’s volume and tone controls; while
it’s thicker than the Transparent Overdrive, your guitar’s voice still
comes through.
CONTROLS:
DRIVE: Sets the amount of overdrive from minimum (fully
counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise). Higher settings
have higher distortion, volume and low end bloom.
TONE: Adjusts the tone of the Drive, use this to find your
tonal “sweet spot.” Turn clockwise for brighter tones and counter-
clockwise for darker tones.
VOLUME: Controls the overall volume of the pedal from
minimum (fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully
clockwise), with plenty of range to allow even low drive settings.
WARNING: this pedal has lots of volume, so start with your amp
and the Volume control turned down.
BYPASS: The true bypass footswitch engages and disengages
the pedal.
