Empress Effects Multidrive - Manual (Page 4)

Controls at a Glance
Power: 9V DC negative tip 2.1mm jack.
110mA or greater
- +
gain: controls the amount of break-up in each section.
filter: engages a high pass filter (hp) or a low pass filter (lp)
for this section. This switch allows you to use only the high
frequencies of one section with only the low frequencies from
another section. For example: you could combine the tight
lows of the distortion section with the classic, high frequency,
sustain of the fuzz section. The cutoff frequency is 500 Hz for
both the high-pass and low-pass filter settings.
volume: controls the amount of signal from each
section that gets added to the output. Think of this
as the volume fader on a mixer.
Fuzz, Overdrive and Distortion Controls
Each section has a dedicated volume, gain and filter control.
This allows for an extremely wide range of sonic possibilities.
bypass: When the LED is shining, the multidrive effect
is applied to the signal. When off, the multidrive is
being bypassed (true bypass).
select: used to toggle between 2 preset combinations of
fuzz, overdrive and distortion. Choose which channels
are active in each preset using the dip switch located
inside the multidrive. LEDs indicate which channels are
active at any given time.
distortion type: choose between 3 flavors
available in the distortion section.
