The Cool Cat Drive pedal adds a healthy dollop of color to your

guitar tone with plenty of crunch and bloom. It’s very responsive

to touch as well as your guitar’s volume and tone controls; while

it’s thicker than the Transparent Overdrive, your guitar’s voice still

comes through.

CONTROLS:

DRIVE: Sets the amount of overdrive from minimum (fully

counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise). Higher settings

have higher distortion, volume and low end bloom.

TONE: Adjusts the tone of the Drive, use this to find your

tonal “sweet spot.” Turn clockwise for brighter tones and counter-

clockwise for darker tones.

VOLUME: Controls the overall volume of the pedal from

minimum (fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully

clockwise), with plenty of range to allow even low drive settings.

WARNING: this pedal has lots of volume, so start with your amp

and the Volume control turned down.

BYPASS: The true bypass footswitch engages and disengages

the pedal.

SAMPLE SETTINGS: (Remember, these are only starting

points.)
