Introduction More than a remarkable achievement, HardWire™ represents a collection of significant improvements in effects pedals for guitar. HardWire pedals provide a suite of well-known effects, each with superior tone and control. But these pedals go above and beyond their peers to provide such distinguishing features as true bypass and high voltage operation, making them essential additions to the signal chain of players who know about sound quality and demand the utmost in performance.

What Does This Do? 1. Level Knob - Controls the distortion output level. Turn the knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the output level. 2. DC Adapter Jack - Connect (an optional) Harman PS200R power supply to this jack. Use the proper supply for your area’s mains line voltage. 3. High Knob (center) - Controls the level of high frequency (treble) boost/cut in the distortion effect. Turn the knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease treble level. 4.
6. Freq knob (ring) - Controls the Midrange frequency that the Mid knob boosts and cuts. Range is 200 Hz to 5.0 kHz. 7. Gain Knob - Controls the overall distortion gain. Turn the knob clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the amount of distortion gain. 8. Voicing Switch - This switches between the Metal Distortion’s two voicings. Tight provides a punchy articulated low-end response. Loose creates a thick heavy low end for grinding rhythm playing. 9.
