off of the very same specially selected 12AX7 preamp tube mentioned above. We've taken extra care to

ensure that, unlike most bass distortion units, there is no significant damage to the fundamental

note––specifically in the low end.

OVERDRIVE "DRIVE" CONTROL

This control determines how heavily the tube overdrive circuit will distort the signal. With the control set

at minimum '0', there will be only the tiniest amount of "dirt" present in the signal path. The higher the

knob is set, the dirtier the signal will get. Fully counter-clockwise ('0') is minimum, while fully clockwise is

maximum. Note that the way you attack your strings will have an effect on the amount of drive as well.

Try playing both harder and softer with this control set at '3', and you'll see what we mean when we say

that the controls are "dynamically sensitive."

OVERDRIVE TONE CONTROL

This is a passive tone control for the overdrive circuit. Set to maximum, it allows the fullest range of high

end frequencies possible into the audio path of the overdrive circuit. Turning the knob counter-clockwise

reduces the amount of high end present. The more "drive" is engaged, the more drastic the effect of the

overdrive tone control. Using this control in conjunction with the Mo' EQ treble and midrange controls

allows for an incredible amount of dirty tone flexibility.

OVERDRIVE LEVEL CONTROL

This control determines the volume of the Overdrive circuit, and works in conjunction with the Drive

control to help you keep your levels where you want them when switching back and forth between clean

and dirty sounds. Fully counter-clockwise ('0') is minimum, while fully clockwise is maximum.

NOTENOTE: Be careful when boosting this control beyond '5' on the dial––it will get really loud when the

Drive is also engaged!

USING THE OVERDRIVE

Start with the Drive and Level controls low! Set the Overdrive Tone control to '5'. Now press the Overdrive

switch and the red LED should illuminate. If both Drive and Level controls are set at minimum, there will

only be a slight boost in overall level. Try slowly raising the Drive to '4', and then the Level to '2'. There

should now be a noticeable difference between this and the "clean" sound. This is a good reference

point to see how much boost and distortion you want out of the Overdrive.

The Drive and Level controls are designed to work together to give you a workable overall level when

using the effect. If you are using heavy amounts of Drive, you may want to reduce the Level to match

your clean signal level. If you're only using a touch of Drive, be sure to increase the Level control to

bring you back to unity gain with your clean signal. The Tone control will not boost or cut the true level of

the signal, but higher settings on the Tone control may seem louder because of the way high-end "cuts"

when overdriven. You can use the Level control to have your Overdrive effect act as a "boost" as well

simply by setting the Level and Drive controls to equal a higher level than your clean signal. Switch the

effect on and off for level comparison.

Engaging the Overdrive reduces the effect of the Preamp EQ (the higher the Drive, the less Preamp EQ

will affect the signal), so you may want to use the Mo' EQ to achieve additional tone flexibility. The Mo'

EQ Mid and Treble controls in particular can greatly affect a heavily overdriven signal. Don't forget to try

using the Limiter/Leveler in conjunction with the Overdrive, especially on sounds with just a touch of dirt

to them (low on the Drive and high on the Overdrive Level). And remember, you can blend in your

original "clean" signal by using the Dual Mode function and adjusting the left (clean) and right (wet)

Master Volume controls. Please see the sections marked "Mo' EQ" and "Dual Mode" later in the manual

for more details.
