True Bypass On/Off switch
(see #7) This is the best switch in the world…the Fulltone-made
3PDT
footswitch.
The pedal is ON when the bright Red L.E.D. (see #10) is lit up...the pedal is bypassed when this light is OFF.
Distortion Knob:
(see #2)
Turn this Clockwise (CW) for more distortion, keep it below 10 0‘clock for cleaner sounds
and for overdriving your favorite amp. Clean-Boost sounds can be attained by lowering this knob almost full CCW,
and turning up the “Volume” knob.
Volume
Knob:
(see #1) This knob controls the amount of signal that exits the pedal. The ‘Freq. has about 30db of
available gain, more than most distortion or overdrive pedals offer, so don’t be surprised if you end up running the
Volume knob at only around 9 o’clock and are still getting a tremendous volume boost.
Freq knob:
(see #3)
This is the magic Midrange knob! Set Full counter-clockwise (CCW) for a pedal that has a transparent
sound and not a lot of Midrange. Now turn up the Freq knob and on comes the wah-wah-like midrange, the volume will
increase tremendously in the midrange frequencies only....very different from other pedal’s midrange controls in that
you can get infinite sustain with relatively low Distortion settings!
Highs Knob:
(see #4)This is a “Hi-Cut” function only, meaning that this knob only affects upper Treble frequencies.
You’ll find that FULL CW position is very much neutral, depending on how much “Distortion” you are using.
You should turn it CCW to around 10 o’clock for smoother high-gain lead sounds or turn it CW for more clarity.
Input jack:
(see #6) Plug the cable that is connected to your guitar into this jack. Note that the pedal will not power-on unless
you have a cable plugged in to this jack.
Output jack:
(see #5) Plug the cable that goes to the amplifier into this jack.

Specifications
Input Impedance= 680K (good and high, like your guitar pickups)
Output Impedance= as low as 10K (nice and low to so as not to load down your guitar cables or cause interference with other pedals.
Max Voltage Gain= 60-80dBV (depending on settings, including the Freq knob)
Current draw= 6 ma. (milliamps) which means a battery should last months, and 50ma,100ma, 200ma, 500ma, adapters are fine.
DC Power Port: (see #8)
You may run this pedal on the 9 volt battery (included) or on any voltage between 9 and 18 Volts DC as long as the adapter is (standard) 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel plug with
“Negative to Center Pin” configuration. (as illustrated by the following diagram)
To access the battery remove all four Thumbscrews (see #9) from the sides of the pedal and pull the housing apart. Replace battery, put housing back together and re-tighten all four screws. Unplug
guitar cable from INPUT when not in use to prolong battery life but If you have an adapter plugged in to the DC outlet there is no need to unplug the guitar cable from the INPUT because our DC outlet
is True-Bypass and disconnects the battery supply line, thus keeping the battery fresh. The Fulltone FPS-1 is a great 9VDC regulated wall wart adapter. As far as pedalboard power supplies, we have
always recommended ours and the Voodoo Lab products....nothing’s changed, beware, there are some crappy power supplies being sold as “Pro product out there!
