Controls (continued)
OD MODE: The higher gain setting. This mode has a tighter low end and a permanently engaged
treble roll-off, ensuring that more overdriven sounds stay warm and controlled. This setting ranges
from classic overdrive to fuzz-like, cranked vintage console tones.
DRIVE: Turn clockwise to increase the amount of overdrive. For clean boosts in EQ mode, keep this control
set low. Higher settings will result in vintage sounding saturation, all the way to fuzz-like tones in OD mode.
LEVEL: Sets the output level from the pedal. Turn clockwise to push the input of your amp. Keep this
control set lower if you want to get all your overdrive from the pedal.
EQ CONTROLS: The DCX Boost's EQ controls give precise control over bass and treble at frequencies
specifically chosen for electric guitar. These controls have been specially designed to deliver powerful EQ
shaping, without sacrificing low-end clarity or overemphasising upper harmonics.
L.F: Reduces low frequencies when turned counterclockwise, boosts low frequencies when turned
clockwise. The low frequency response is completely flat when this control is in the noon position.
Due to the design of this circuitry, high levels of boost can be used in conjunction with overdriven
settings, without the tone becoming mushy or indistinct.
H.F: Reduces high frequencies when turned counterclockwise, boosts high frequencies when turned
clockwise. The low frequency response is completely flat when this control is in the noon position.
Due to the design of this circuitry, high levels of boost can be used without overemphasising the
upper harmonics of overdriven sounds, which might usually result in a harsh tone.
VOICE SWITCH: This switch corresponds to the DCX Boost's built-in treble roll-off (see: MODE
SWITCH), selecting between three different amounts of high-end reduction. When the pedal is in EQ mode,
the amount of treble roll-off increases as the tone becomes more overdriven. In OD mode, the treble roll-
off is always active.
FLAT: The brightest setting. In this position, no treble roll-off is applied.
MED: In this setting, there is a subtle treble roll-off.
DRK: The darkest setting. In this position, the steepest treble roll-off is applied.
