Electro-Harmonix CRAYON Manual

CRAYON
Full-Range Overdrive
Congratulations on your purchase of the Crayon, a colorful overdrive in a
compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Unlike many mid-focused overdrive
full-range
pedals, the Crayon is a overdrive with rich harmonic content and a full
bodied tone allowing you to dial in the perfect overdrive for any situation. The
GAIN knob ranges from just a touch of dirt to full-on distortion while individual
BASS and TREBLE controls open up the frequency response capabilities of the
Crayon yielding a wide range of versatile overdriven sounds.

- CONTROLS -

GAIN Knob – Controls the amount of input gain. As you turn GAIN clockwise,
the overdrive ranges from just a touch of grit, in the fully counter-clockwise
position, to classic distortion, in the fully clockwise setting.
TREBLE Knob – As you turn TREBLE clockwise, the overdrive's high end is
accentuated, making your tone brighter. Turn TREBLE counter-clockwise for a
darker sound.
BASS Knob – As you turn BASS clockwise, the low end is boosted. Turn BASS
counter-clockwise to reduce low end.
VOL Knob – Sets the output level of the Crayon. As VOL is turned clockwise, the
output volume increases.
FOOTSWITCH and LED – The Footswitch selects whether the Crayon is
engaged or in true-bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED is lit.
INPUT Jack – This ¼" jack is the audio input for the Crayon. The input
impedance is 315k.
AMP Jack – This ¼" jack is the audio output from the Crayon. The output
impedance is 50.
9V Power Jack – The Crayon can run off of a 9V battery or you can use an
optional 9VDC AC Adapter capable of delivering at least 25mA to the 9V power
jack, such as the Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply. The AC Adapter
must have a center negative plug. The battery may be left in or taken out when
using an AC Adapter. The Crayon has a current draw of 10mA at 9VDC.
