(1): MODE SWITCH
This switch is a two position switch to make a preset for the bright switch (2)
In combination with (2) you can make 6 different bright settings for the bright correction that
you might need for your amp. It’s a compensation for the high frequencies and was added for
making the correct balance in tone on most popular amps. So these are
NOT tone switches!
(2): BRIGHT SWITCH
This is a three position switch for the bright compensation and works together with (1)

A short explanation on the mode and bright switches.
The mode and bright switches will give you 6 different settings for pre-shaping the tone
balance for almost any amp and will have at least 1 setting that works fine for your amp.
Because of this option the Royal Overdrive is what we call “amp friendly”, and doesn’t need
an amp that is so called “pedal friendly”. Try a Plexi 100W Super lead and compare it to a
70’s Super lead. You’ll notice that the 70’s models can be very, very bright. With the bright
switches and the regular tone controls you can make the Royal Overdrive sound basically the
same on both amps. Please take a look at the “
Mode and Bright switch settings guide ” for
some basic settings. If your amp is not in this chart you can tune it by ear with a little practice.
Our advise is to make your clean sound settings first and than turn on the Royal Overdrive.
(turn the master of your Royal Overdrive low when you switch on the unit because with
the brighter settings you can have a high output signal to your amp)
You’ll now hear if
your tone balance is to dull or to bright compared to your clean sound and if you need a
different setting for compensation. Together with the regular tone controls you should have
enough range to create your sound.
We had questions about the switches from clients who thought that all settings would work on
their amp and that there was something wrong with the pedal. We hope that the purpose of
these switches is a bit more clear now.
