GAIN
The “Gain” knob sets the
amount of gain applied to
your guitar signal passing
through the fuzz circuit. This
parameter is also highly interactive
with the “Voltage” knob. Pushing more
gain through the pedal at lower voltage settings
will result in grittier and dirtier sounds. Lower gain
settings at lower voltages will result in very starved
sounds. It can even cause the signal to cut out
completely at lower extremes, so adjust to taste!
BAS S
TREBLE
The “Bass” knob allows you to cut or boost low
frequencies after the fuzz circuit. This can be
helpful for tightening up the low end or
increasing the low frequency emphasis. Starting
at noon, turn down to remove bass and turn up
to add bass.
The “Treble” knob allows you to increase
clarity in the high frequency region or tame
them depending on your amplifier and rig.
Like the bass control, you may find that
at higher gains you will want to add more
treble, and at lower gains you may
want to roll the treble back. Starting
at noon, turn down to cut out
highs and turn up to allow
more highs.
MODE SWITCH
The “Mode” switch is a five-position rotary
switch. Each position offers a different
combination of frequency response and clipping
style employed by the pedal. You can think of
each position as a different “flavor” of the pedal.
Each position is described in more detail below.
