USER’S MANUAL BEDIENUNGSANLEITUNG MANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES MANUALE D’USO MODE D’EMPLOI www.tcelectronic.com - www.youtube.com/tcelectronic (EN) Introduction Congratulations! You have just bought a distortion pedal that personifies rock and represents all that is good about distorted tones. This pedal will inspire your riffs, licks and leads for years to come. This�pedal�defines�instant�gratification�and�will�become�the�go-to�distortion�pedal�on�your�board.� Initially, you simply plug it in and start rocking, but its many great sounds will have you playing with it for years to come. From bluesy crunch to hi-gain, but always very musical distortion sounds, this pedal was designed for the guitarists who like things a bit (or extremely) dirty. Featuring an all-analog circuit, dual-band tone controls, level and drive knobs and a voicing switch to tweak both bass response and distortion, you are set from creamy leads over riff-heavy stadium rock to modern angst-ridden grunge. 1 - Effect on/off (true bypass) 2 - 1/4 inch mono jack input 3 - 1/4 inch mono jack output 4 - Bass control 5 - Treble control 6 - Gain control 7 - Level control 8 - Voice selector 9 - Power in (9VDC) Changing battery�–�Unscrew�the�thumb-screw�on�the�back�of�the�pedal�and�detach�the�back-plate.� Unmount�the�old�battery�and�attach�the�new�battery�to�the�battery�clip�making�sure�the�polarity�is� correct.�Then�remount�the�back-plate.�To�save�battery�life,�remove�the�input�jack�when�you�don’t�play. Batteries must never be heated, taken apart or thrown into fire or water. Only rechargeable batteries can be recharged. Remove the battery when the pedal is not being used for a longer period of time. Dispose batteries according to local laws and regulations. The Controls BASS & TREBLE Bass/treble�controls.�Add�bass�for�more�punch�or�roll�off�a�bit�for�a�tighter�sound�on�big�cabinets.�Add� treble to cut through a dense mix or reduce to aim for a softer tone. Gain Controls the amount of gain. Lower settings give tight distortion for rhythm parts. Higher settings are ideal for singing leads. LEVEL Sets the overall level. Voice Type selector Two�Voice�types�are�available.�With�the�switch�in�“up”�position,�the�frequency�response�is�true�to�the� input�signal.�With�the�switch�in�“down”�position,�the�low-end�frequencies�are�naturally�boosted.�This�is� excellent where the guitar is allowed to take up a great portion of the sonic spectrum, – e.g. for rhythm guitar in a trio. Connecting Input jack – 1/4 inch mono jack input. If you run the pedal on battery, we recommend removing the input jack to preserve battery power when you don’t play. Output jack – 1/4 inch mono jack output for connecting to another pedal or directly into an amp or mixer. Power in�–�Use�a�9�VDC�power�supply�with�the�following� symbol: (DE) Die Regler BASS und TREBLE Dies�sind�die�Regler�für�die�Bass-�und�Höhenanteile�des�Signals.�Sie�können�die�Bässe�betonen,�um�einen�etwas� druckvolleren�Sound�zu�erhalten�–�oder�sie�etwas�zurücknehmen,�wenn�Sie�mit�großen�Boxen�arbeiten.�Heben�Sie�die� Höhen�an,�damit�sich�Ihre�Gitarre�in�einem�dichten�Mix�durchsetzt,�oder�senken�Sie�den�Höhenanteil,�damit�der�Sound� etwas weicher wird.
