RELATIONSHIP OF THE LEVEL CONTROLS
Signal flow is right to left, from the input to the output. Therefore, the
Level controls follow in the same order, from Boost to OMG Level to
SansAmp Level.
Be aware that the “last” level in the signal path will determine the over-
all output level. For instance, when the OMG and SansAmp sections
are engaged, the SansAmp Level determines the overall output level of
the unit. If only the Boost and OMG are engaged, the OMG Level de-
termines the overall output level of the unit.
The Delay Level control only affects the mix level of the delay, not the
overall output level.
UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY
The included power supply is pro-
vided with a U.S. prong assembly in-
stalled. To change the prong assembly
to one of the included European, UK
or Australia/New Zealand styles, be
sure the power supply is unplugged
and follow these instructions:
Press the PUSH switch to release the
prong assembly. Slide the assembly up
(about halfway) to align the side tabs of
the prong assembly with the slots of
the power supply housing. Then pull up
to remove the assembly. Choose the new prong assembly, align the side
tabs with the slot of the housing and slide down until it clicks into posi-
tion.
NOTE: You cannot slide the prong assembly all the way out.
THE INS AND OUTS
1/4” INPUT:
1megOhm instrument level. For normal operation, sig-
nal level to
Input
should be close to that of a standard electric guitar
(approx -10dBm / 250mV). The input is designed with the same sensi-
tivity and loading characteristic as a tube amp.
1/4” UNIVERSAL OUTPUT:
Unbalanced 1kOhm Low Z instru-
ment level output. This output can be connected to High Z guitar ampli-
fiers (or effects) as well as Low Z mixer and computer inputs. Output level
is unity gain when pedal is in bypass mode. It also drives long cables without
loss of signal integrity, even in bypass.
BALANCED XLR OUTPUT & GROUND
CONNECT SWITCH:
Balanced low Z output. When the
Ground Connect switch is engaged, the ground connects.
Disengaged, the ground of your stage system and other inter-
connected gear is lifted (isolated) from the ground of the
mixing console.
NOTE: Both outputs can be used simultaneously. For example, 1/4"
Out to your amp and XLR Out to PA mixer, which is one instance
where the Ground might need to be disengaged.

Severe damage will result.
GUIDE TO FUNCTIONS and CONTROLS
(in order of signal flow)
BOOST & COMP Section
BOOST:
Independent pre-Boost for
solos, up to approx 12dB.
COMP Switch:
Utilizes old school, all-
analog, FET-based technology from the ‘50s
and ‘60s, which is inherently warmer, more
transparent and more musical than other
methods of compression.
LEVEL:
Adjusts the output level of the
Boost section.
OMG Overdrive Section
Based upon the Richie Kotzen Signature OMG pedal, this section pro-
vides a wide range of overdrive, from clean to aggressive. You can add
personality to a clean amp or use it for extra punch with a dirty amp
tone.
DRIVE:
Adjusts the overall amount of
gain and overdrive, similar to when the
output section of a tube amp is being
pushed. Highly interactive with the level of
your guitar. For instance, you can clean up
the amount of distortion by decreasing the
guitar’s volume (except in very extreme
settings) without having to change the set-
ting on the pedal. Conversely, you can in-
crease the amount of distortion by simply
increasing the guitar’s volume.
TONE:
Specialized voicing for adjusting
the high-end and mid-range of the OMG
section. As you reduce the setting, it will
decrease the high-end without losing mids
or getting muddy. At max, it’s flat.
LEVEL:
Adjusts the output level of the OMG section.
FUZZ Switch:
Changes the character and attack of the overdrive
to a fuzz-style tone, making it thicker and woolier.
NOTE:
The OMG section is an effect. It has no speaker emulation in-
corporated into the circuitry and is not designed or intended to be
used alone going direct to a mixer or PA.
