MAD PROFESSOR - ROyAl bluE OVERDRIVE - OWNER’S MANuAl
Thank you for
purchasing the
ROyAl bluE OVERDRIVE
the royal Blue overdrive offers a wide
range of dirt from light overdrive to distortion,
or, with the drive rolled all the way off, can
serve as boost with eQ. filtering is limited
on the overdrive to provide transparent tone
that you can tailor with the treble and Bass
knobs.
one of the most valued attributes of an
overdrive pedal is touch sensitivity. like the
best boutique amps, at low to moderate
distortion levels, the royal Blue od lets you
determine the amount of breakup lets you
determine the amount of breakup by how
hard you strike the strings with your pick,
and/or by adjusting the volume knob on your
guitar. the royal Blue can add this level
of expressiveness to any clean or slightly
overdriven amplifier.
ImpOrTANT
: for best results you should not
use a buffered pedal between your instrument
and the royal Blue od.
CONTrOLS:
• Volume: sets the overall output level of the
pedal.
• Drive: controls the degree of breakup,
from clean boost to overdrive, to full
distortion. for maximum dynamic response
set this knob to the level where the amount
of grit is controllable with picking force.
• Treble: this boost/cut “shelving” type
equalizer controls the amount of high end,
operating in the same range as “Presence”
on most amplifiers. treble can be used
to add shimmer to even bright amplifiers
without interfering with their own treble boost.
• Bass: this boost/cut shelving type equalizer
controls the low end, just above resonance of
a standard 4x12 cabinet.
With both Bass and treble turned up,
you can get a scooped heavy tone, while
turning the eQ knobs down produces a
soft mid-boost tone.
