OUTPUT: Controls the overall
output level. Attenuation is
possible at low settings as
well as overall boost at higher
settings.
BOOST LEVEL: Varies the
amount of boost when the
clean boost circuit is active.
TIP: Turn to maximum to
engage soft clipping.
COMP: Sets the threshold of the
optical compressor circuit. Set
below 50% for more transparent
settings and above 50% for more
sonically apparent compression.
Turning the COMP knob to zero
effectively takes the compressor
out of circuit.
BOOST SHAPE:
Varies the frequency
response of the
clean boost circuit.
Treble boost, mid
boost and full
flat frequency
response curves
are provided. TIP:
Try the treble boost
with humbuckers
for biting solos or
the mid boost to add
girth to single coil
pickups.
BOOST FOOTSWITCH:
Engages the clean boost. The clean boost
is post compressor. TIP: to use the clean
boost without any compression turn the
COMP knob to zero to take the compressor
completely out of circuit
BYPASS FOOTSWITCH:
Engages and disengages effect. Bypass is
a true bypass circuit with mechanical relay
switching. LED on indicates that the effect
is engaged.
