VOLUME - sets overall volume level for the effect when it is switched on

TONE - sets the level of treble for the unit. Turn it counter clockwise for a bassier tone. Turn it clockwise for a stronger treble response.

DRIVE - sets the desired level of distortion when the pedal is switched on

My favorite ways to use the pedal is to place it in front of your amp when it is just about to break up. Turn on the pedal and roll the drive and tone down to about 10 - 12 o’clock for a really bluesy tone. I also like to play classic rock like early AC/DC and The Angels so for this I’ll role the tone up most of the way and CRANK the gain.

CURRENTLY SOLD OUT BUT CAN BE BUILT WITHIN 2 WEEKS.
