4. FUNCTION OVERVIEW

GAIN (1) – Instrument input level control (0 ÷ +20dB)

VOLUME (2) – This output volume control allows you to balance the volume of your effected (distorted) signal level against that
of your direct (clean) signal (when the pedal is in bypass mode).

COMP (3) – Allows you to compress your signal before it’s sent to the tube

TUBE DRIVE (4) - Adjusts the intensity of the distortion

LOW PASS (5) – This filter gradually cuts high frequencies from your distorted sound, only letting the lows pass. Makes your
distortion darker

HIGH PASS (6) – This filter gradually cuts low frequencies from your distorted sound, only letting the highs pass. Makes your
distortion brighter

MIX (7) - Controls the balance between the clean and distorted signals

“CLIP” LED (8) – Allows you to set the optimal gain level for your instrument’s signal

“ON” LED (9) – Indicates that the pedal is active

ON/OFF SWITCH* (10)
