' WARNING Do not expose the apparatus to rain or moisture. Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids should be placed on or near the apparatus. [. . . ] The Guv'nor Plus features a passive bypass for the main signal path to ensure complete tonal integrity and has a quality of tone matched only by its versatility. This booklet provides a complete run down of the Guv'nor Plus's features for your information. We have also included a number of suggested settings to help guide you. It should be remembered that these are only a starting point and you should really experiment. When you take the time to explore the many different overdrive and distortion characters of the Guv'nor Plus, you won't be disappointed. Setting Up Always use good quality shielded leads. Always use 9V regulated DC supply with centre negative. Although it may seem obvious the first action in achieving a good effected sound (be it duration / compression etc. ) is to find the perfect bypassed sound. This will then allow the correct level to be set with the effect unit to allow a cut or boost in volume and a realistic tone. On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume) to a setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to get unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal shaping on the amplifier preamp. Features 1. Out Jack This is the output of the Guv'nor Plus and is for connection to the amplifier or to another effects pedal. 2. Gain This increases the amount of distortion, taking you from vintage breakup, ideal for big crunchy chords and sweet singing blues, to full on grind with super saturation. The Guv'nor Plus features the classic Marshall 3 way tone network to guarantee true Marshall tone at all times and to allow you to add unique Marshall character to any rig. 3. Bass Adjusts the bass frequencies in your tone. Increasing the 2 3 ENGLISH amount of bass will generally make your tone warmer and thicker at the bottom end.

Deep This adds an active resonant bass boost to your tone in a way that can't be replicated with traditional tone controls and has a similar effect to the acclaimed JCM2000 "Deep" switch. Increasing the amount of Deep will add masses of tight bottom end to your tone giving it real low end resonance and incredible fullness. CHECK AMP CONTROLS DC INLET CHECK BATTERY CHECK LEADS 5.
