Controls
1. Gain 1
This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that
Channel 1 will deliver. As the Gain control is increased clockwise
(CW) the sound will become more overdriven moving through
crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted crunch
tone is arrived at.
2. Gain 2
This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that
Channel 2 will deliver. As the Gain control is increased (CW) the
sound becomes more overdriven moving through crunch tones
until, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is reached.
3. Channel 1 Clean/OD Mode Switch
With this switch disengaged (out) Channel 1 is configured as a clean
channel. With this switch engaged (in) Channel 1 is configured as
an overdrive channel.
4. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your
tone. This pedal has an advanced tone shaping circuit (shared by
Channel 1 and Channel 2) which allows the tone to be tight and
cutting, counter clockwise (CCW), to warm and thumping (CW).
5. Middle
The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your
tone. The middle frequencies are particularly important in setting
the amount of 'body' your tone has. With the Middle control set to
its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound will be aggressive and
scooped, this is a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the
Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of 'body' is increased,
which is more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.
6. Treble
The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies
within the sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm
and darker in character. As the Treble control is increased (CW) the
sound will become brighter. At the maximum settings the sound will
be aggressive and cutting.

7. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and
Treble controls. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature
you prefer. Fully CCW is a more American characteristic with a
tight bottom end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW is a
British characteristic which is more 'woody' and less aggressive.
See illustration below.

Frequency
We recommend that to start with the ISF is set to half way and
the Bass, Middle and Treble are set to taste. Then try gradually
adjusting the ISF CW and CCW until you find the sound you prefer.
8. Level 1
This Level control sets the overall level or volume from Channel 1 of
the pedal. It should be used in conjunction with the Gain 1 control
to achieve the exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking at
lower Gain settings the Volume will be increased and at higher Gain
settings the Volume should be decreased.
9. Level 2
This Level control sets the overall level or volume from Channel 2 of
the pedal. It should be used in conjunction with the Gain 2 control
to achieve the exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking at
lower Gain settings the Volume will be increased and at higher Gain
settings the Volume should be decreased.
10. Output
This output is for connection to the input of your amplifier or into
other pedals or effects. For best noise performance we recommend
you place the overdrive pedal first in the effects chain. Always use a
good quality screened guitar lead.
