INTRODUCTION
The Nine Zero Two (aka the 902, we'll call it that for the remainder of the manual) is a
versatile yet simple overdrive / distortion based on multiple discrete transistor gain stages
placed in serial. Each stage in the series uses a different type of gain circuit, resulting in a
complex, nonlinear amplification response - a response that approximates the rich
harmonics of overdriven tube gain stages. We've also included a simple amp-like tone
stack to complete a very familiar overdrive package. Underlying this outward simplicity
is a wide range of tone possibilities, with gain ranging from light dirt to smooth
saturation.
And yes, '902' is the telephone area code for Nova Scotia... :-)
Remember to protect your hearing and wear appropriate hearing protection when
playing loud...
FEATURES
• simple, traditional overdrive interface of gain, tone and volume
• top mounted jacks on a small enclosure for tight pedalboard layouts
• wide gain range multistage discrete transistor gain topology with amp-like tone stack
• 9V battery power, with standard 9V negative tip adapter ready
• true bypass operation and LED power indicator
CONTROLS
It really doesn't get any simpler than the three controls:
GAIN: a small amount of dirt full counterclockwise, to heavier saturated distortion full
clockwise
TONE: very dark counterclockwise (and with a bit of volume loss), to bright fully
clockwise
VOL: set this as desired to adjust the relative level between bypass and effect-on once
you've set GAIN and TONE
A NOTE ABOUT POWERING THE NINE ZERO TWO
The Diamond Counter Point is designed to be powered from either a 9V battery (included),
standard 9V negative tip DC power adapter or from a multi pedal power supply.
