Controls

1. Gain

The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that

the pedal will deliver. At low settings, counter clockwise (CCW),

the HT-DRIVE will deliver a clean boost, which in conjunction with

the Level control can be used to overdrive an already distorting

valve amplifier. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW)

the sound will become more overdriven moving through crunch

tones u

ntil, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is

arrived at.

2. Tone

The Tone control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies

within the sound. At low settings, counter clockwise (CCW), the

sound will be warm and darker in character. As the control is

increased clockwise (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the

maximum settings the tone will be aggressive and cutting.

3. Level

The Level control sets the overall level or volume from the HT-

DRIVE. It should be used in conjunction with the Gain control to

achieve the exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking, to

achieve the correct balance, at lower Gain settings the Volume

will be increased and at higher Gain settings the Volume should be

decreased.

4. Output

This output is for connection to the input of your amplifier or into

other pedals or effects. For best noise performance we

recommend you place the overdrive pedal first in the effects chain.

Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.

5. Speaker Emulated Output

This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker

cabinet and provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection

to a recording device or mixing desk. Always use a good quality

screened guitar lead.
