Electro-Harmonix SPRUCE GOOSE OVERDRIVE Manual

Welcome to the Electro-Harmonix Spruce Goose, a compact,

natural overdrive with a wide range of tonal and gain settings.

Sculpt your sound with separate TREBLE and BASS EQ knobs.

Dial-in just the right amount of dirt, from barely there to over-

the-top, using the GAIN knob and LIFT switch. The Spruce

Goose also features mechanical relay true bypass on a soft

footswitch and optional 9V battery power.

Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack of the Spruce Goose and the AMP

jack to your amp's input. Press the footswitch to ensure the LED is lit.

Your Spruce Goose is now ready to play.

A good starting point is to set the knobs to their 12 o'clock positions, and

then adjust the LIFT toggle switch for the right amount of break-up. Further

tweak the knobs to dial-in your perfect setting.
