Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations on your purchase of the
Fulltone
®
CLYDE
TM
wah wah
Features:
You should note that the
Clyde
TM
has more travel in its pedal, hence more tonal range than any other
wah. The "sweep" (range of sound) is set by me during final inspection (I play every one) and should not
be changed...since ours has more travel, you already have full access to all the Bass and treble available!.
One must take into account the physical range available from the pot (potentiometer) so please don't
mess with the drive-train and/or the pot itself, you might ruin it, thus voiding your warranty, ruining your
gig, and possibly forcing you to sleep alone tonight.
Resonance Control:
There is an user adjustable Trimmer inside your lovely new wah that lets you change the gain and
bottem-end (Bass) response...it is located on the circuit board and requires no tools to set.
There is room around this trimmer for you to mark your favorite settings using any type of permanent
marker. With the wah plugged in and amp on, turn the wah over and remove the back plate by loosening
the 4 rubber feet (note: no tools required, just turn counter clockwise until they come out)
With the wah situated in front of you so that the section of the unit with the battery is facing you, notice
the trimmer with a line pointing to a black arrow (this is my favorite setting) for your particular wah) Now
set the trimmer to @ 2 O'clock.that's a stock '60's Vox sound. Turning the trimmer clockwise gets more
gain and Bass, don't worry, the trimmer will stop full left and full right so you won't lose your settings!
True Bypass switching is essential for no tone loss when effect is off. The wah is activated by rocking all
the way forward and pressing hard with your foot. This amount of pressure needed to activate effect can
be adjusted for firmer or softer feel....simply contact Fulltone if you have any questions.
The Treadle (part that your foot rests on!) is also adjustable for a firmer or softer feel. This is
accomplished by either loosening or tightening the "nylock" nut on the side of the treadle at the pivot-
point where it connects to the bottom housing. It will stay put until you change it the next time.
I recommend using a Carbon-Zinc 9 volt battery (included) such as the Eveready "Classic" or "Super
Heavy Duty" instead of an Alkaline, which although they last longer, tend to sound harsh. Do your own
experiments.....leave the wah plugged in and quickly change through a couple of different types of
batteries, but keep your amp's volume down so as not to damage your ears or the amp from the noise
when reconnecting the next battery. This pedal is also equipped with a convenient 9 volt DC jack that is
Tip Negative, make note of this, and make sure the adapter you use is the same!!!!!!
Warning: DO NOT SPRAY ANYTHING INTO THE POTENTIOMETER TO CLEAN IT unless it's Craig DeOxit
D5
and you know what you're doing....meaning, a small, quick spray once a year or so! Do not use WD-40
or any other oil/spray. Contact us if you have questions.
