Controls at a Glance
Power: 9V-18V DC
negative tip 2.1mm jack. 200mA or greater
-
heavy / heavier: used to toggle between the 2 channels
and to bypass the pedal. LEDs indicate which channel is
active at any given time. When no LEDs are lit, the pedal
is bypassed.
output: controls the output gain. The point
where unity gain is achieved varies and
depends on the individual section volumes.
hi: controls the amount of high frequency content in the
output signal. It is a gentle high shelf filter starting around
3 kHz. The 12 o’clock setting is 0 dB, no boost or cut, and
the extreme boost and cut is about 10 dB.
low: controls the amount of low frequency content in the
output signal. It is a low shelf filter starting around 80 Hz.
The 12 o’clock setting is 0 dB, no boost or cut, and the
extreme boost and cut is about 10 dB.
gate: helps to eliminate noise by muting the output of the
pedal when you are not playing.
trim: there is a trim pot on the side of the pedal that lets
you set the threshold for the gate.
natural: allows you to play normally without your notes
getting cut off. Has a gentle slope that lets notes decay
naturally.
the hi and low EQ bands effect both the heavy and
heavier channels of the pedal
aggr: clamps down quickly. Great when playing tight
starts and stops.
