USERS MANUAL EBS MULTIDRIVE - STUDIO EDITION THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE EBS MULTIDRIVE - STUDIO EDITION PEDAL! The EBS MultiDrive is an ultra compact and robust box, capable of producing sustain, overdrive and many other useful hot, ”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 MULTIDRIVE - STUDIO EDITION USERS MANUAL THE CONTROLS ACTIVE/ PASSIVE Switch (next to output jack) Set to ACTIVE position if you are playing an active instrument or if you have the pedal connected to an effects loop. If not, set this switch to PASSIVE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS SWITCH IS SET CORRECTLY FOR PROPERLY FUNCTION. DRIVE controls the amount of gain/distortion for the ”overdrive engine”. The range is from 0 dB (clean sound) up to 60 dB in maximum position (very distorted sound).
