Connecting Input jack – 1/4 inch mono jack input. If you run the pedal on battery, we recommend removing the input jack to preserve battery power when you don’t play. Output jack – 1/4 inch mono jack output for connecting to another pedal or directly into an amp or mixer.
The Controls BASS & TREBLE Bass/treble controls. Add bass for more punch or roll off a bit for a tighter sound on big cabinets. Add treble to cut through a dense mix or reduce to aim for a softer tone. Gain Controls the amount of gain. Lower settings give tight distortion for rhythm parts. Higher settings are ideal for singing leads. LEVEL Sets the overall level. Voice Type selector Two Voice types are available. With the switch in “up” position, the frequency response is true to the input signal.
Changing battery – Unscrew the thumb-screw on the back of the pedal and detach the back-plate. Unmount the old battery and attach the new battery to the battery clip making sure the polarity is correct. Then remount the back-plate. To save battery life, remove the input jack when you don’t play. Batteries must never be heated, taken apart or thrown into fire or water. Only rechargeable batteries can be recharged. Remove the battery when the pedal is not being used for a longer period of time.
