• 3.1. Level Knob

  Controls the overall output volume of the pedal. Adjust this to achieve unity gain (output volume matches bypass volume) or to boost your signal.

• 3.2. Tone Knob

  Adjusts the treble content of the distorted signal. Turning it clockwise increases brightness, while turning it counter-clockwise reduces treble for a warmer sound.

• 3.3. Distortion Knob

  Determines the amount of gain and saturation applied to your signal. Rotate clockwise for more aggressive distortion and counter-clockwise for lighter overdrive or crunch tones.

• 3.4. Clipping Toggle Switch

  This three-position toggle switch selects between different clipping diode configurations, altering the pedal's compression and overall feel:

  • Левая позиция: Provides a moderate amount of compression.
  • Средняя позиция: Offers a wide-open, uncompressed signal, resulting in a more raw and dynamic distortion.
  • Правое положение: Delivers a higher amount of compression, leading to a more saturated and sustained tone.

• 3.5. Bypass Footswitch

  Engages or disengages the distortion effect. When engaged, the LED indicator will illuminate.

• Нет звука:
  • Проверьте все кабельные соединения (от гитары к входу, от выхода к выходу). amp).
  • Убедитесь, что блок питания правильно подключен и исправен.
  • Ensure the pedal is engaged (LED illuminated).
• Слабый или прерывистый сигнал:
  • Осмотрите кабели на предмет повреждений.
  • Подтвердите громкость источника питанияtage and current are adequate (9V DC, at least 10mA).
  • Clean input/output jacks if corrosion is visible.
• Нежелательный шум/гул:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality, isolated power supply.
  • Проверьте наличие земляных петель в вашей сигнальной цепи.
