OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Koko Boost can be powered via 9V battery or 9VDC, center negative power supply.
BATTERY MONITOR
Upon powering up, the battery voltage is measured. If the voltage measured is lower
than 5.5V, Koko Boost Reloaded’s LED will ash 3 times to alert you that it’s time to
replace the battery. Once the 9V battery is replaced, normal operation will resume.
Should a battery fail completely (<5V), Koko Boost Reloaded will switch itself into True
Bypass mode and the LED will begin to ash. This feature ensures that your signal will
continue uninterrupted and undistorted until you can replace the battery with a new
one.
Note: The LED ash can be defeated by pressing the footswitch to turn it off.
Koko Boost features an easy to tweak control layout which includes: Boost, Mid Boost,
Mid Q, rotary controls and a three position Freq switch.
Boost (Clean): Adjusts the overall output of the boost circuit. The Boost control offers
0dB (unity gain) to +26dB of gain. Tuning this control to higher settings will efciently
push the front-end of your amplier and create a broad range of natural overdriven
tones.
Mid Boost : Adjusts the output of the selected Mid frequency (via the Freq switch) that
is added to the clean boosted signal.
Mid Q: Adjusts the amount of emphasis applied to the mid frequency selected by the
freq (frequency) switch.
Freq Switch: This switch features the following three position settings:
• Left - Full and Smooth, tuned specically to bring out your guitars natural
midrange characteristics.
• Middle - Clear and articulate, voiced to cut through a mix for solo playing.
• Right - Fat and Creamy, excellent for thickening up rhythm and lead tones
and players seeking that Cello-esque modern blues tone.
On/Off Effects Status Indicator: The LED indicator displays Koko Boost's effect status,
on/off.
TRUE BYPASS SWITCHING
Koko Boost employs True Bypass switching (via relay) which removes the effect from the
signal chain.
