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.
