HomeBrew Electronics Controls:
- Input-Instrument in. Unplug when not in use to conserve battery life.
- Out-Out to amp
- 9VDC jack-for use with -(Negative) center, -9VDC, filtered, and regulated power supply.
- Gain control-Varies the amount of distortion. Higher settings may cause noise.
- Level control-Varies the amount of output. Capable of driving an amp in to saturation.
- Sounds best when ran a little above unity. (Louder with the pedal on)
- Tone control-Varies the amount of treble or bass. Output is increased with higher settings. Suggest setting it as flat as possible and using your amp's tone controls for EQ'ing
- Boost-Increases the amount of distortion. Similiar to adding an extra pre-amp tube making the FMJ like a two channel tube amp. (Note: a small pop may occur when the boost is switched)
- On/Off-True bypass of effect. (Note: a small pop may occur when effect is switched on/off. This is normal and is a trait associated with true bypass.)
