Gain: This control adjusts the total amount of gain that is

applied to the signal path. Turning the Gain control

clockwise will increase the amount of gain in the circuit.

Whether you use a little gain for a smooth break up - or

crank your gain all the way up for great thick, vintage style

overdriven tone - your drive will stay true and not fizzle

out as much as the original Screamer style of pedals.

Smooth/ Lift Switch: The Clarksdale features a small

toggle switch that is labeled LIFT and SMOOTH. The Lift/

Smooth switch will allow a player to either sit in the mix

with the Smooth setting or allow your leads to standout

with the Lift option.

Bass: Adjusts the amount of bass applied to the effected

signal. If you are using a Stratocaster® style, single coil

guitar rather than a humbucker loaded instrument, you

may find you need more bass to “fatten” up the tone. When

in the fully counterclockwise position, the tone will be

much thinner and brighter and when fully clockwise it will

be fuller, darker and heavier around the low end.

Mids: Adjusts the total amount of midrange that is applied

to the effected signal. Unlike a traditional Screamer style

circuit that had an ever present midrange bump – you can

now choose to dial in less or even more mid-range as you

see fit.

Treble: Works in the same way as the bass knob but

controls the amount of treble on the effected signal.

Again, fully counterclockwise the treble is reduced consid-

erably and clockwise brings it forward. You may have to

tweak both the treble and bass controls simultaneously to

find your sweet spot.

Power Requirements

The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery. The battery terminal is located inside the pedal. If

using a power supply, power needed for the pedal is 9V DC, regulated, center pin negative, as

supplied by most standard Boss™/Ibanez™/Etc. supplies. The pedal can be safely powered with a

multi-supply, like the Visual Sound 1SPOT™. The pedal was designed explicitly around the usage

of a 9V DC power source, and is intended to sound its best at 9V. To avoid damage to the pedal,

do not exceed 9V DC, do not use center pin positive adapters, and do not use AC power. Using an

incorrect power adapter can lead to damage and will void the warranty on the pedal. This pedal

draws 17mA.

Please note: If you are using a battery, it will drain when the input cord is plugged in.

Return and Warranty Policy

For direct sales, there is a 14-day “no questions asked” period where you may return the pedal for any reason, provided that it is in its original condition. Please retain

all packaging within this period in case you decide to return it! We only require that you pay shipping back. The 14 days start when you receive the pedal. This does

not apply to dealer or retailer sales – see their individual return policies for specific information.

All Wampler Pedals, Inc. pedals carry a 5-year, fully transferable warranty that covers defects due to parts and labor. The warranty begins at the point of purchase.

Please remember to register your pedal as soon as possible after purchase at the following web page to ensure quicker service if you should ever need to make a
