User manual DOD FX69

[. . . ] This is the kind of high-gain distortion that allows notes to sustain into infinity, simulating the distortion of a guitar amplifier turned up to eleven - wait. . . no, twelve !, clipping the signal and causing distortion. [. . . ] The HIGH knob controls the high-frequency (treble) content of the guitar signal (when the effect is on). This control adds more edge to your sound, allowing your guitar to sound like a chainsaw on a chalkboard. On the following pages, some examples of different types of sounds are shown, along with graphic representations of how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) guitar sounds are a subjective matter, use these examples as starting points to create your own sounds that meet your specific tastes, or lack thereof. This sound is reminiscent of sounds produced by the Melvins and bands influenced by them. This sound has a cut treble (HIGH) response, making the low end (LOW) sound flabby. Tune your guitar down to D to improve flabbiness. GRUNGE: Controls the amount of hair on the distortion. Turning the GRUNGE control clockwise increases the amount of gain (distortion or drive) on your guitar sound, while turning the control counterclockwise only slightly reduces the sonic onslaught of electric death. FOOTSWITCH: Switches the distortion effect in or out of the signal path. LED INDICATOR: Lights when the distortion is enabled, and is not lit when the distortion is bypassed. JACKS: Input, Output, AC Adapter (use either the DOD PS3 or PS50 power supply to eliminate the need for a 9 volt battery). CONNECTING THE FX69B Connect your guitar to the input of the FX69B. Connect the output of the FX69B to your amp (or to the input of another effects device you may be running). To eliminate the need for a 9-volt battery, attach either the DOD PS3 or the DOD PS50 power supply to the AC adapter jack. FEATURES · LED indicator shows status of effect and battery condition. · Active switching for noiseless oper ation. · Easy access battery compartment. · Rubber non-skid bottom. The GRUNGE control is not remotely clean in its lower range, because it overdrives the guitar sound quite fiercely.
