The pedal features the following controls and connections:
- TRUE BYPASS Footswitch: Toggles the effect on and off.
- ON/OFF LED: Indicates when the effect is active.
- DC IN Power Jack: Connects to a 9V DC power supply.
- INPUT Jack: 1/4 inch mono jack for your guitar.
- OUTPUT Jack: 1/4 inch mono jack for outputting the signal.
- Mode Switch: Selects between Warm and Hot modes.
- VOLUME Knob: Controls the overall output volume.
- TONE Knob: Adjusts the tonal character of the overdrive.
- OVERDRIVE Knob: Adjusts the gain level of the effect.
Effect modes
- Warm: Reconstructs a classic tube amplifier tone, providing a natural, smooth, and creamy overdrive sound with dynamic response.
- Hot: Offers a more powerful output compared to the Warm mode, delivering a punchy, mighty crunch tone.
Safety and maintenance

Common problems
Unexpected noise
Use an isolated or individual power supply instead of sharing power with other pedals.
Device not powering on or short-circuiting
Ensure you are using a 9V DC regulated power adapter with center-negative polarity and at least 7mA current.
Before use
- Verify the power supply is 9V DC, center-negative, and provides at least 7mA.
- Ensure you are using 1/4 inch mono cables for input and output.
- Check that the pedal is placed away from heat sources and water.
- Confirm the mode switch is set to your desired sound (Warm or Hot).
Specs in practice
- Current Draw: 7mA
- The minimum amount of electrical current the pedal requires to function correctly.
- Center Negative
- The standard polarity for guitar pedals where the inner pin of the power plug is negative.
