Your
Classic Seventies Fuzz
pedal captures the tone of guitar legends from the late
sixties through to today. This classic fuzz tone has been used in countless recordings.
Be sure to use the
Classic Seventies Fuzz
as the first pedal in the chain. Putting it
after another pedal will not harm anything, but it will reduce a lot of the touch control and
playing dynamics.
Set the drive to maximum and use your neck pickup for good lead tones. Plenty of great tones
are available with lower drive settings and with your bridge pickup.
Many users leave the drive set to maximum and control the pedal with the guitar volume
control and picking dynamics. The pedal will clean up very nicely using the guitar volume
control.
Your
Classic Seventies Fuzz
pedal was designed in North America by fellow
musicians. Because we live here, we understand how a pedal should sound for the music you
like to play. Our certified engineers also know how to make pedals that are tough, reliable,
and easy to use.
DingoTone cares about TONE. And our standards are high. All our pedals have great tone,
great feel, and sound fantastic live.
All DingoTone pedals are hand built in our factory in North America using premium parts
sourced extensively from North America and Europe. We use vintage design and
manufacturing techniques wherever possible, and we purchase vintage specification
components where available.
About your pedal:
•
Inserting a lead into the input jack will turn power on. With a lead inserted the pedal will still
be using power even if the LED is off. If using a battery, please unplug the input lead when
the pedal is not in use.
•
Assuming the pedal is correctly powered and a lead is plugged into the input, the pedal is
in true-bypass when the LED is off. True-bypass will work even if power is lost (the LED
doesn’t work if power is lost).
•
The pedal will operate from an internal 9V battery or an external 9VDC power supply
(center negative). For best results, the battery should be a cheap carbon type. We have
found the cheapest “dollar store” batteries to be the best.
•
The battery can be accessed by removing the base-plate screws. If the pedal is not used
for an extended period, please remove the battery.
•
When changing the battery please be careful!
Bashing your fingers on the circuit board can damage your fingers or the circuit
board assembly (not covered under warranty).
Excessive force on the battery snap can damage the snap (not covered under
warranty).
•
Note that some unregulated external power supplies may cause hum or noise. If this
happens, please switch to a regulated supply or battery.
CAUTION
The external power supply must not exceed 12VDC – if the supply exceeds 12VDC the protection
circuitry in the pedal will operate and the pedal or the power supply WILL be damaged.
Note that some unregulated power supplies with a nameplate rating of 9VDC give out in excess of
12VDC. If in doubt, please measure the actual voltage on your power supply.
