DingoTone’s designers, engineers and field-testers have worked tirelessly to create a
masterpiece of overdrive Tone. Set the DRIVE control to 12 o’clock and experience some
awesome light crunchy boost that cuts right through, turn the DRIVE to maximum and get an
edgy, dirty even fuzzy Tone (this is more apparent with hotter pickups).… all with HIGH and
LOW EQ for maximum flexibility. Turning the LEVEL control up gives massive signal boost to
drive your tube amp superbly!
Your
Limited Edition
Big Sky Drive
pedal was designed in North America by fellow
musicians. Because we live here, we understand how a pedal should sound for the music you
like to play. Our certified engineers also know how to make pedals that are tough, reliable,
and easy to use.
DingoTone cares about TONE. And our standards are high. All our pedals have great tone,
great feel, and sound fantastic live.
All DingoTone pedals are hand built in our factory in North America using premium parts
sourced extensively from North America and Europe. We use vintage design and
manufacturing techniques wherever possible, and we purchase vintage specification
components where available.
About your pedal:
•
The
Limited Edition
Big Sky Drive
pedal is proper (3PDT) True Bypass. All True
Bypass pedals may make a small noise when switched – this is normal and does not
indicate a fault in the pedal. Your DingoTone pedal has been carefully designed to
minimize this.
•
Inserting a lead into the input jack will turn power on. With a lead inserted the pedal will still
be using power even if the LED is off. If using a battery, please unplug the input lead when
the pedal is not in use.
•
Assuming the pedal is correctly powered and a lead is plugged into the input, the pedal is
in true-bypass when the LED is off. True-bypass will work even if power is lost (the LED
doesn’t work if power is lost).
•
The pedal will operate from an internal 9V battery or an external 9VDC power supply
(center negative). Current draw is approximately 10mA so an alkaline battery will last
many hours.
•
The battery can be accessed by removing the base-plate screws. If the pedal is not used
for an extended period, please remove the battery.
•
When changing the battery please be careful!
Bashing your fingers on the circuit board can damage your fingers or the circuit
board assembly (not covered under warranty).
Excessive force on the battery snap can damage the snap (not covered under
warranty).
•
Note that some unregulated external power supplies may cause hum or noise. If this
happens, please switch to a regulated supply or battery.
CAUTION
The external power supply must not exceed 12VDC – if the supply exceeds 12VDC
the protection circuitry in the pedal will operate and the pedal or the power supply
WILL be damaged.
Note that some unregulated power supplies with a nameplate rating of 9VDC give
out in excess of 12VDC. If in doubt, please measure the actual voltage on your
power supply.
