Danelectro Cool Cat V2 Drive CO-2 - Music Guitar Effects Pedal Manual

FEATURES

Features

The Cool Cat CO-2 Drive pedal adds a healthy dollop of color to guitar tones with plenty of crunch and bloom. It's very responsive to touch as well as your guitar's volume and tone controls; while it's thicker than the Transparent Overdrive, your guitar's voice still comes through. This new version adds two "under the hood" features: an Input Sensitivity control as well as a DIP switch that lets you create Lo-Fi tones for an even wider sonic palette.

CONTROLS

DRIVE: Sets the amount of overdrive from minimum (fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise). Higher settings have higher distortion, volume, and low end bloom.

TONE: Adjusts the tone of the Drive, use to find your tonal "sweet spot". Turn clockwise for brighter tones and counterclockwise for darker tones.

VOLUME: Controls the overall volume of the pedal from minimum (fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise), with plenty of range to allow even low drive settings.

This pedal has lots of volume, so start with your amp and the Volume control turned down.

BYPASS: the true bypass footswitch engages and disengages the pedal.

"UNDER THE HOOD" CONTROLS

(accessible in the battery compartment)

INPUT SENSITIVITY: This trim pot (adjustable with a small Phillips head screwdriver) adjusts the level of signal from your guitar that goes into the Drive circuitry, from minimum (fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise). You can think of this control as a way to fine-tune your guitar and the CO-2 Drive pedal, or as a way to determine what you want the CO-2 to sound like at it's minimum Drive setting. Try turning the Input Sensitivity down for guitars with a hot output, and up for guitars with a low output. Notice that the behavior of the Drive control is affected by the Input Sensitivity setting: higher Input Sensitivity settings make the pedal more distorted for a given Drive setting. This means you can also use Input Sensitivity as an additional gain stage, for extreme amounts of distortion. Experiment with setting a high Input Sensitivity setting with a hot guitar, or a low Input Sensitivity setting for a low output guitar.

LO-FI: This internal DIP switch takes the CO-2 into new territory – AM Radio style Lo-Fi. Tones. Use in conjunction with the Tone control for further shaping of the Drive.
