BCC- MONOLITH MANUAL
INTRODUCTION The Black Country Customs range of guitar pedals are born out of the desire to achieve the best guitar tone possible. The result of hours of dedicated testing and listening, each Black Country Customs pedal is built using the highest quality components and engineered to last a lifetime on your board.
FEATURES Each of the BCC pedals have been designed to incorporate features that really matter :• Transparent fully buffered operation at all times. • Super high output drive provides an excellent interface between bass guitar and effects pedals/amp. • Much reduced cable loss. • Consistent bass guitar volume performance at all settings. • Signal phase integrity. • Excellent consistent load for passive Volume pedals. • Ultra-low noise circuitry. • Silent switching. • Low battery consumption.
CONTROLS 1 2 3
CONTROLS 1 DISTORTION Sets the amount of Distortion and sustain available. The MONOLITH is dynamic and expressive and responds to your pick attack. As you dial in more gain you get more compression and sustain. 2 RANGE Adjusts the low-end content before distortion is added to the signal. Using the Range control allows you to tighten up the bottom end of your tone and cleans up muddy sounding pickups and high gain settings.
CONTROLS 4
CONTROLS 4 MODE The MONOLITH can be configured to run in 1 of 3 modes available Mode D1 - Orange LED Heavily compressed distortion, smooth sounding without loss of definition. For players who like a more compressed sound. Mode D2 - Blue LED A soft compressed distortion. A more expressive distortion with adaptive, even harmonics at lower guitar levels. Allows you to “dig” more into the note and runs less hard compression. Mode O/D - Purple LED. A more traditional overdrive distortion.
CONTROLS 5 6
CONTROLS 5 TONE Adjusts the overall tonal response of the pedal from smooth and warm all the way to bright and cutting lead tones. 6 FOOTSWITCH Engages the MONOLITH.
OPERATION Install a good quality 9V battery into the pedal by unscrewing the base of the pedal and fitting the battery securely to the battery connector and then replace the base of the pedal. Do not use excessive force to tighten up the 4 base plate screws as this could damage the screws. When not in use it is always a good idea to remove the input jack from your pedal to prevent any unwanted battery power loss.
