The Screaming BIRD
Treble Booster
Congratulations on your purchase of the The Screaming BIRD. The small enclosure insures a pedal
board friendly
fit while delivering a treble frequency boost that is powerful and defined.
The
Screaming BIRD
is an Analog treble booster in a compact Nano enclosure. It was specifically designed for
the guitarist who is looking for a simple control to deliver a treble character that cannot be obtained with their
guitar or amplifier alone. Up to 20 dB of treble boost is possible allowing you to add a high frequency edge to
any instrument. With a little experimenting you will see that The Screaming Bird opens new horizons to the top
end of any instrument.
- THEORY OF OPERATION -
CONTROLS
Plug your Guitar or selected instrument into the
INPUT
jack of your Screaming BIRD and the output to your
amplifier. Plug the DC adaptor into the
96DC-200
jack and then plug the DC adaptor into a wall outlet. The 9 volt
battery also works. The
STATUS
LED indicates when the effect is switched on.
There are only two controls on The
Screaming BIRD
. The on/off footswitch engages and disengages The
Screaming BIRD and the rotary Boost knob reacts like a specific high frequency boost control. The higher the
Boost knob is turned up the more gain is applied.
The boost knob is really a volume control. At the maximum setting you receive 20 dB of gain above 1.6kHz
topping at 2.4kHz. Understanding how your instrument and amplifier react to the
Screaming BIRD
is
important. When setting up for the first time, be careful with the Boost control and experiment with The
Screaming BIRD and your amplifier at different settings. At once you will hear the biting top end and potential
that The Screaming BIRD provides to your overall tone.
