On/Off footswitch (see #1 on diagrams above): is a "master" On/Off for the pedal using True-Bypass routing to eliminate all connections to the circuit when pedal is turned off.
We use the Fulltone designed and manufactured Triple-Pole-Double-Throw (3PDT) footswitch, the toughest, longest-lasting, and best-sounding switch we've come across.
Volume knob (#4): is a "master" volume for the entire pedal.
Tone knob (#5): is an active treble boost & cut circuit. You'll find the 12 to 1 o'clock position to be pretty neutral. Turn knob counter-clockwise (CCW) to around 10 o'clock for smoother, less
present sounds, or turn it clockwise (CW) for brighter, more cutting tone. This is a "master" tone control, affecting both Drive1 and Drive2 channels.
Drive 1 distortion knob (#7): is operable when LED #2 is lit. Turn knob CW for more distortion or CCW for less distortion. Think of Drive2 mode as an instantly available extension of
Drive1, allowing higher distortion and also higher volume than you have set with Drive1.
Offers a choice of different volume level and/or different distortion setting than Drive 1 channel. It is an extension of Drive1 allowing you to go above and beyond Drive1 settings.
Drive 2 footswitch (#13): When active (LED #12 lit) Drive2 distortion knob and Drive2 Volume knob are now functioning, allowing you to switch to a higher distortion level and/or a
higher volume level.
Drive 2 Distortion knob (#9): dictates the amount of Overdrive only when the Drive2 footswitch (#13) is turned on and LED #12 is lit. Drive2 knob has no effect on Drive1 knob.
Drive 2 Volume (#10): Think of it as an extension to the Master Volume (#4). Drive2 Volume is only functional when the Drive2 footswitch (#13) is turned on and LED #12 is lit, allowing
you to go higher than where the Master Volume is set, you cannot go lower than what the Master volume is set to.
LEFT TOGGLE SWITCH (#6):
CC (Comp-Cut) bypasses all clipping diodes, leaving a mostly clean-boost that can get somewhat dirty sounding as the 4558 chip gets driven harder
Note; none of the modes on right toggle switch are audible when the left toggle is in CC position.
VIN (Vintage mode) is Normal diode clipping with strong midrange presentation.
FM (Flat-Mids) uses a proprietary feedback circuit that returns signal to the clipping section cancelling out some of the midrange content, creating a very open, natural sound.
RIGHT TOGGLE SWITCH: (#8)
WIDE implements a Mosfet & Schottky diode in each direction. Less Compressed, more open, more Bass.
HC (Half-Clipped) clips only the top part of the waveform, leaving bass notes solid and percussive, and higher notes signing with sustain.
STD (Standard) same slightly asymmetrical diode clipping as on a vintage 90s Full-Drive. Softer, rounder, more compressed.
To get a similar sound with a volume boost when switching to Drive2 mode
Tip: works with all clipping settings, just leave Drive2 knob at "0"
POWER: You may run this pedal on the 9 volt battery (included) or on any voltage between 9 and 18 Volts DC as long as the adapter is (standard) 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel plug with
"Negative to Center Pin" configuration. Unplug guitar cable from INPUT when not using pedal to prolong battery life. If you have an adapter plugged in to the DC outlet there is no need to
unplug the guitar cable from the INPUT because our DC outlet is true-bypass and disconnects the battery supply line, keeping the battery fresh. For standard 9 volt operation, the Fulltone
IPS-9 is a great 9VDC regulated adapter which can be used in all countries offering 100-240 volts AC.
For 18VDC power, buy a well-regulated adapter like the Fulltone IPS-18, which is also for use in all countries offering 100-240 volts AC.
BATTERY: remove the 2 thumbscrews (#3 & #11)from the sides of the pedal and pull the housing apart. Remove & Replace the battery with either a Carbon-zinc or Alkaline type battery.
Do not use Lithium or rechargeable batteries.
