USERS MANUAL EBS METALDRIVE - STUDIO EDITION THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE EBS METALDRIVE - STUDIO EDITION PEDAL! The EBS MetalDrive is an ultra compact and robust box, capable of producing high gain distortion and many other useful mean ”tubeamp”, distorted sounds. The overdrive engine that makes this all possible is a simulation circuit in pure class A with a wide gain range, which emulates a classic vintage style preamp tube.
EBS METALDRIVE - STUDIO EDITION USERS MANUAL THE CONTROLS DIST OUTPUT DIST controls the amount of gain/distortion for the ”distortion engine”. The gain ranges from half clean up to very distorted sound in maximum position. OUTPUT Controls the output volume when the pedal is active. You can also use this control to boost your sound.
