• Volume Knob
  Adjusts the overall output volume of the pedal. Ideal for fine-tuning the output on clean tone, it also controls the DI output volume.
   
• Blend Knob
  Adjusts to blend between the clean signal and overdrive signal. The clean signal remains as unity gain, allowing for fine control of the blend ration.
   
• Drive Knob
  Adjusts the Gain level and sets the saturation level in the overdriven signal.
   
• 3-Band Equalizer with Middle Frequency Selector
  Bass: +/- 12dB @40Hz Middle: +/- 17dB @160Hz to 1000Hz Freq.: 160Hz ~ 1000Hz Treble: +/- 12dB @8000Hz

• DI Output
  Balanced XLR Output carrying the mic-level output signal, either affected or unaffected depending on the Pre-Post switch.
   
• GND LFT (Ground / Lift) Toggle Switch
  Disconnects the signal ground on the DI out to break any ground loops. Toggle the switch to the LESS noisy position; it can be either GND or LFT depending on the room, stage or studio condition. Switch does not effect the 1/4-inch (6.5mm) output.
   
• Impulse Response (IR) Toggle Switches
  You can activate/deactivate the IR cabinet simulation for both DI out and 1/4-inch (6.5mm) out separately. Use the appropriate IR toggle switch to turn ON/OFF the emulation for the output you choose.
