HOW TO SET THE SOUND - USEFUL HINTS

In order to obtain best possible operation from the EBS MultiDrive, 
check the hints below on how to improve and find your own personal 
sound.

  
1) If you have an active instrument, try switching to the passive 

mode. This will increase the gain in the distortion circuit to its’ 
maximum. This allows for tighter high compressed sounds and is 
a way to use the MultiDrive as a pure distortion pedal.

2) As in point 1 above, switch to active mode even if you are using 

a passive instrument. This will not give you as much gain, but 
sometimes when using the pedal to spice up your sound instead 
of distorting, you may find the gain range more detailed. You 
need to use fairly low settings on the volume knob to keep a 
good balance between the bypassed level and the active level.   

       
3) Try using the MultiDrive pedal as one of the first pedals in your 

effects chain. This is because the gain stage will amplify every 
small noise from other pedals being used before the MultiDrive. 

 
4) The MultiDrive is excellent for use in an effects loop. In this setup 

you can use the pedal as a post-filter enhancement stage. It 
could be a good choice to make your solid state amplifier sound 
like a full tube amp.
