Mountainking Electronics PWR Manual

PWR
DRIVE: This allows you to control the strength of the signal
at the input of the PWR's circuitry. As you turn the DRIVE
knob to the right your instruments signal pushes the input of
the PWR's circuit harder and harder increasing the
saturation and compression levels of the distortion as well
as increasing the overall volume level.
HEADROOM: This is a "power sag" control that is designed
to work similarly to using a variac to decrease the amount of
voltage/current that a tube amp has to work with. As you
turn the knob to the left you decrease the amount of clean
gain (aka "headroom") that the circuit has to amplify the
incoming signal with, resulting in more saturation, more
compression and a slight decrease in the volume level. This
control works in conjunction with the DRIVE control to set
the overall level of saturation and compression, as well as
effecting the overall volume level of the signal coming out of
the pedal.
FILTER SECTION: Please note that the SLOPE and NOTCH
controls are very interactive so adjusting one will alter the
effect of the other.
IN/OUT : This switch engages (IN) or bypasses (OUT) the
FILTER's circuitry. When the switch is in the OUT position
the SLOPE and NOTCH controls will have no effect and
there will be a slight increase in the volume level.
SLOPE: This control allows you to adjust the high/low
frequency balance. Turning the knob to the left gradually
cuts highs while adding lows.
NOTCH: This control cuts midrange as you turn the knob to
the left.
OUTPUT: This is the volume control. WARNING! The PWR

All Mountainking Electronics devices are built with high quality parts and components to help ensure years of reliable
heaviosity. This device can be powered by a 9V battery or a standard 9V DC or 18V DC power supply. If you choose to
use a battery to power the pedal remember to unplug the instrument/guitar cable from the input jack when not in use to
help conserve battery life. If you choose to use a power supply, be sure that it is of high quality and is filtered to avoid
introducing hum and noise to your signal chain. Also make sure that it outputs DC not AC voltage, has the correct
polarity (center negative) and does not put out more than 18V DC otherwise you may damage or destroy the ic.
