Notes
Turnabout
madbeanpedals
• To understand the best way to use the Tone and Pres controls think of it this way: the Presence
control is what you use to set the maximum range of the Tone control. It’s what you will change
first when plugging in different guitars or to different amps. Then the Tone control is used
continuously to set the amount of filtering you want for a particular sound. Darker amps and
guitars with humbuckers will generally have a higher Pres setting than say, a Vox amp or Tele
style guitar (unless you really WANT to punish everyone around you!)
• The Thicc control lets you dial out some of the bass in the stock @ pedal as well as put in a little
extra if you like. At lower Thicc settings, the maximum amount of distortion will also be reduced.
So, in general, when you want to get the lowest gain amount possible out of the Turnabout you
are going to turn down the Thicc and Gain controls and set the Comp switch for the least amount
of compression (the LEDs). The Thicc control also lets you shovel some mud out of neck pickups,
too.
• The clipping LEDs will light up when they are selected so if you like blinky lights you can mount
one or both externally.
