[. . . ] This pedal runs on a 9 Volt Battery, if a 9Volt DC adapter is the used please follow adapter manufacturer's operation instructions. Only used attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not use this product with any case, stand tripod, bracket or table that is not specified by the manufacturer. Insure that the case, stand, tripod, bracket etc. [. . . ] To activate the "wah" press down slightly harder on the toe of the rocker pedal until the switch is activated. The same process is to be applied to turn off the wah effect. The wah effect will be on when the blue LED is lit (see point 14). MOAN Level control - adjusts the overall output of the MOAN effect when the MOAN effect is activated. See points 6 and 7 for detailed information on how to turn the MOAN on and off. MOAN GAIN control provides a mid-frequency band pass filter harmonic boost. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the boost. Turning the knob counter-clockwise will provide less of a boost. INPUT Jack - using a standard guitar cable - plug your guitar into this jack. MOAN ON/OFF Switch - This side "kicker" switch is used to turn the MOAN effect ON or OFF. When the MOAN effect is on the green LED located next to the switch will be lit. The MOAN can be used as a "stand alone" distortion or applied to the "wah effect" using the "COMBINE MOAN/ WAH switch (see point 9 for details on the COMBINE MOAN/ 2 3 4 5 6 7 MOAN ON/OFF LED - When the LED is lit the MOAN effect will be ON. When the LED is not lit the MOAN effect is bypassed. COMBINE LED - When this Red LED is lit the COMBINE function is activated. When the LED is not lit, the COMBINE function is bypassed. COMBINE MOAN/WAH Switch - this switch allows you to apply the MOAN effect to the wah. Here are the two functions of the switch: 1) When COMBINE MOAN/WAH is activated the red LED will be lit. This will apply the MOAN effect to the wah effect which is controlled by the "rocker footpedal". The MOAN effect will now only become active once the wah is activated by the switch under the toe (see point 2). Please note that in this case, the MOAN must be ON and the green led lit. The purpose of this function is to allow you to setup and establish a MOAN effect and wah sound together so that when you are ready to use it in your song you don't have to first turn on the moan and then the wah effect - you only need to now activate the wah via the switch under the toe (see point 2) and both the MOAN and WAH effects will be active. 2) When the COMBINE MOAN/WAH is not activated the LED will not be lit. [. . . ] The Moan effect has been specifically designed for heavy distortion situations - although it can be used in all situations - the moan effect will be most apparent when using a heavier distortion. The effect can sometimes be subtle depending on the natural harmonics of your guitar or bass. The best way to "tweak" your moan sound is to set your amp with a little light distortion (crunch). Turn on the moan effect and, while constantly striking the "E" or "A" string, turn the "MOAN" knob. [. . . ]
