P U GI L I S T D I S TO RT IO N Thanks for purchasing the Pugilist Distortion—a flexible distortion pedal with a wealth of tones. The Pugilist is somewhat unusual in that it features two separate distortion engines (A and B) that can be blended together or stacked in series for extreme gain.

Gain (A and B) This control adjusts the amount of gain (or drive) in the A and B distortion engines. Counterclockwise settings are cleaner, with slightly less volume. Clockwise settings have more sustain and saturation. Individual notes in chords are easier to hear with lower gain settings, which is why mixing two sounds together is so much fun—great clarity and power simultaneously.
Level Knob The Level control knob adjusts the pedal’s final output volume. Jewel Indicator The Jewel Indicator shows when the distortion effect is active. Bypass Footswitch This rugged footswitch is used to bypass the effect (true-bypass design). Input Jack This is a high-impedance input suitable for electric guitar, bass, acoustic guitars with pickup systems, keyboards and other instruments.
