INPUT JACK
(
#1 above):
Connect a MONO 1/4” cable (from your Guitar) into this jack. Always use good quality sheilded cables with solder-type connectors.
Never use TRS (stereo) cables.
TRANSISTOR GAIN TRIMMER (#19)
is factory-set to the appropriate Bias so there is no need to adjust it. Turning this Trimmer CW will increase gain and thicken
up the wah effect as well as increase Bass response a bit, but going too high is not advised because at some point you will lose definition as well as Wah
performance.
STATUS L.E.D.
(#2)
is lit bright red when the Wah is turned ON and unlit (clear/white) when the pedal is turned OFF
INPUT LEVEL KNOB (#3)
is not a volume control. Instead it adjusts the signal level entering the Wah circuit. Rotate this knob Clockwise (CW) to increase signal
entering the pedal and to overdrive the Wah circuit. Turn this knob Counter-Clockwise (CCW) to reduce distortion caused by high-output pickups or for a cleaner
sound without break-up.
5-POSITION
ROTARY MODE SWITCH (#4):
Position 1
SUB
is reminiscent of a setting on the old 1970s Foxx Fuzz/Wah pedals with very deep Bass...almost synth-like, great for Bass too.
Position 2
WACKED
is reminiscent of the old Colorsound Wahs....more of a “wow” sound with deep bass response.
Position 3
PHAT
is the perfect range for distorted guitar! It doesn’t get any thicker than this.
Position 4
JIMI
is our recreation of the late ‘60s Vox Clyde McCoy Wah sound as used by Hendrix and Eric Clapton.
Position 5
SHAFT
shifts the whole range up a little to capture the ‘70s sounds heard on all those funk classics and cheesy movie soundtracks.
The
TREADLE
(#6)
is like a gas pedal. When you rock forward the treble increases, when you rock backward, the treble decreases.
REAR BUMPER
(#8)
is what the treadle rests on when it is rocked back fully to heel position.
The
ON/OFF SWITCH (#9
is located at the front of the pedal. Turn the pedal ON by rocking the treadle fully-forward then putting your weight into it until you feel a
“click.” The LED will light bright red, indicating that the pedal is switched ON. Repeat to turn the pedal OFF. When the the pedal is OFF none of the pedal’s
features (including the buffer) are active. We incorporate True-Bypass switching (with Millennium LED activation) in our Wah pedals for the least amount of signal
degradation when the pedal is OFF.
TREADLE RACK (#10)
is the straight black plastic part (with teeth) that rotates the gear (located on the wah-pot inside the pedal) to make the “Wah” sound.
FRONT BUMPERS
x 2 (#11)
cushion the treadle when it is rocked all the way forward and while turning the pedal ON and OFF.
BOTTOM-PLATE (#12):
To open up the pedal, remove 4 Rubber Feet (
#5)
by using a phillips-head screwdriver and turning the screws CCW.
Warning!
There is a cable connecting the bottom-plate to the housing, so remove the bottom-plate and set it off to one side, making sure that this cable does not
hang up on anything inside the pedal. This Ground-Strap Cable helps eliminate a tremendous amount of hum by creating complete continuity between the steel
housing and the steel bottom-plate. To reassemble the pedal, reinstall the screws and re-tighten the screws by turning them CW. Do not overtighten beyond the
point where the feet stop rotating or appear to be squashed down.
BATTERY:
To access the 9 volt battery, Remove the bottom plate, replace the battery, and re-install the bottom-plate.
