HI/LO FOOTSWITCH
The HI/LO footswitch incorporated into the GAIN circuit creates two different gain regions (overdrive levels). This
footswitch toggles you between the HI and LO Gain Modes.
LO works great for Crunch or clipped chording and medium gain solo sounds. HI provides an increased level of saturation that is better suited for
heavy Rock and Metal rhythm styles and smoldering single note lead work. Try the LO Mode for lower to mid gain sounds appropriate for Blues,
R&B or any other time when subtle saturation is in order. The HI Mode kicks the gain up a few notches and delivers much more overdrive, sustain
and harmonic layering. Use HI for high gain applications where you need maximum saturation and liquid harmonically rich sustain.
BYPASS
This footswitch is pretty self-explanatory... it “hard” bypasses the FLUX-FIVE™. It removes all circuitry from your signal path and
uses a piece of wire from the INPUT to the OUTPUT. It is the same as having a very short piece of wire in line with your guitar’s signal cable.
When in BYPASS Mode none of the controls on the FLUX-FIVE™ have any effect on the signal and you can rest assured your guitar ‘s sound is
not being altered in any way by the FLUX-FIVE™.
NOTE: Make sure to take into account that any length of cable more than a few inches may have some cable capacitance and roll off a bit of top
end. Use as short of cables as possible to avoid this annoyance.
EXTERNAL POWER: DC IN JACK
This standard female DC Receptacle on the pedal is the External Power Supply Jack and it accepts the
male plug from a standard 9-Volt DC “wall-wart” power supply. When installing your unit into a pedal board utilizing a universal power supply
(multi-output pedal board power supplies), connect the external power source here. SEE WARNING BELOW!
NOTE: The External DC Power Supply is Not Included. WARNING!!! To avoid immediate damage to your unit and the voiding of your warranty,
the External Power Supply MUST be 9VDC with a NEGATIVE CENTER plug polarity and a jack size of 2.1mm x 5.5mm. Do NOT connect a
9-Volt AC Voltage Power Supply to the EXT Power Jack!
BATTERY
The internal battery is automatically disconnected by a switching element in the External DC Receptacle on the pedal. However, if
you know you will not be using battery power for an extended period – for example, if you are mounting the unit to your pedal board permanently
- it is wise to remove the battery to avoid possible damage from long-term battery corrosion.
This unit can operate on either a 9-Volt battery or a standard 9-Volt “wall-wart” DC power supply. The unit is shipped from the Factory with a
long-life 9-Volt Battery to facilitate easier trial demonstration in a music store environment.
NOTE: The internal battery is switched to an “ON” state (drawing current and supplying voltage) by a switching element in the INPUT jack.
Disconnect the cable from the ¼” INPUT jack whenever the unit is not in use to prolong battery life.
To access the 9-Volt battery for inspection, replacement or removal; make sure the External Power jack is disconnected, remove the four Phil-
lips- head screws from the four corners of the bottom lid and remove it, note the orientation/direction of the battery and terminals—and remove
