Quick guide from the manual

The Warm Audio ODD Box V1 is a hard-clipping overdrive pedal designed to replicate the sound of a cranked amplifier. To begin, ensure you are using a 9V battery or a 9-18V DC center-negative power adapter. Connect your instrument to the input jack and your amplifier to the output jack. Use the UK/US switch to toggle between different clipping characteristics to suit your playing style.
