■ PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
OAC ADAPTOR JACK
Connect an AC adaptor (BOSS PSA-120, 220 or
240) to this jack.
♦ An AC adaptor provides a stable, dependable
supply of power.
♦ Be sure to use a BOSS PSA-120, 220 or 240,
depending on the voltage system in your coun¬
try. Using any other type of AC adaptor may
cause malfunctions.
©CHECK INDICATOR
This LED lights when the effect is turned on.
♦ The Check indicator also serves as a battery
check. When the LED becomes dim, replace the
battery.
©Modulation RATE Knob
This knob controls the rate of the modulation
effect. Clockwise rotation increases the rate and
counterclockwise rotation decreases it.
♦ When the Modulation DEPTH knob is at MIN(0),
the Modulation RATE knob does not function.
OModulation DEPTH Knob
This knob controls the sweep width (variable
range) of the modulation effect. Clockwise rota¬
tion makes the range wider. At MIN(0), no
modulation effect is produced.
♦ To control the wah effect with your playing inten¬
sity only, set the Modulation DEPTH Knob to
MIN(0).
©OUTPUT JACK
Connect an amplifier or other effect to this jack.
©PEDAL SWITCH
Pressing the pedal turns the effect on and off.
©THUMB SCREW
Loosen the screw to open the pedal for battery
replacement.
For a detailed explanation of battery replacement,
refer to "BATTERY REPLACEMENT".
©SENS Control Knob
This knob adjusts the sensitivity of the wah effect.
Rotating the knob clockwise allows you to obtain
a wah effect even with soft playing. Rotating the
knob counterclockwise produces wah effects only
with harder playing.
♦ The intensity of the wah effect will be affected
not only the volume, but also by the type of
pickup on your instrument. Adjust the SENS
control knob so that an appropriate sensitivity is
obtained for your guitar and playing style.
♦ When the SENS control knob is at MIN (0), no
wah effect will be produced even by increasing
picking strength.
©MANUAL Knob
This knob controls the basic frequency (where the
wah effect starts to work). Rotating the knob
clockwise will increase the frequency, while rotat¬
ing it counterclockwise will decrease it.
♦ The maximum frequency of the wah effect
(obtained by using the SENS control knob) is
fixed. Setting the MANUAL knob to HI (. ^)will
decrease the width of the sweep (variable
range).
©INPUT JACK
Connect an electronic/electric musical instrument
(such as a guitar)to this jack.
♦ Connecting a plug to this jack will automatically
switch the unit on. Be sure to disconnect the
plug from this jack when the unit is not being
used.
