Getting started with the FETTO Deluxe

This document will guide you how to get the most out of your FETTO Deluxe. As a

starting point, please set the controls as shown in the picture below.

Prepare your amplifier

Make sure that your FETTO Deluxe is bypassed. If the blue LED to the left is lit

then press the GIMME footswitch to bypass the pedal. Now tune in a good clean

sound on your amplifier. This is very important if you want a good sound when you

switch on your FETTO Deluxe. When you have dialed in a good clean sound on your

amplifier the next step is to calibrate the FETTO Deluxe´s volume control to match

your guitar's output level.

Play your guitar and press the GIMME footswitch (blue LED ON).

Does the sound become louder, softer or is it about the same as

when the pedal was bypassed? Adjust the pedal's Volume control,

so the sound is just as loud when the pedal is switched on as

when it's bypassed.

Now you have calibrated the Volume control to match your guitar

output. This means that the FETTO Deluxe won't push your

amplifier's preamp to distort or compress. This also means that

all distortion will be generated by the FETTO Deluxe without

overdriving the input of your amplifier. This is ideal when you

have an amplifier which doesn't distort well or which distorts in

a way you don't like. Later we will look at how to use FETTO

Deluxe to push your amp and how to combine FETTO Deluxe's

distortions with your amps own distortion, but for now we will

use FETTO Deluxe to generate all of the distortion.

Page 2 Play something and increase FETTO Deluxe´s Volume control. The output of FETTO Deluxe can deliver higher signals than a guitar can do alone, so your amp will now be pushed harder and the preamp section of your amplifier will start to distort.
Page 3 We encourage you to consult the user’s manual if you’re interested in what these trimmers do. That’s it. Have fun, but remember that all the FETTO Deluxe is doing is adding good distortion to your existing sound . Don’t see it as an ‘effect’, cause it’s more like an extension of your amp.
