The controls
Your The Wizard overdrive has six controls: Gain, Drive, Level, Low Cut, High Cut
and Tone.
The
Gain
knob adjust the input sensitivity of the pedal and controls the signal
strength to the input of the first gain stage.
The
Drive
knob controls the amount of drive and distortion you like to have and
is placed between the first and second gain stage.
Use the
Level
knob to set the overall volume from the pedal.
The
Low Cut
knob lets you adjust the pedals bottom end response. When using
a lot of gain it’s most of the time necessary to increase (clockwise) the low cut to
get a nice overdrive tone.
The
High Cut
knob adjusts the high frequency response. This is useful specially
when you have a very bright amp. Increase it and you get rid of harsh overtones.
Note, that in amps with a controlled high frequency response it’s not always
possible to hear so much difference when turning this knob all the way up (clock-
wise).
The
Tone
knob lets you control the tone characteristics. In the middle position (
around 12 o’clock) it has a rather flat frequency response.
Connecting
Input jack
- 1/4 inch mono jack input. If you run the pedal on battery, we recom-
mend removing the input jack to preserve battery power when you don’t play.
Output jack
- 1/4 inch mono jack output for connecting to another pedal or
directly into an amp or mixer.
Power in
- use a 9-18 VDC power supply with the following symbol:
Installing or changing battery
Unscrew the four screws on the back of the pedal and detach the back-plate.
Demount the old battery and attach the new making sure the polarity is correct.
Then remount the back-plate. To save battery life, remove the input jack when
you don’t play.
Batteries must never be heated, taken apart or thrown into fire or
water. Only rechargeable batteries can be recharged. Remove the
battery when the pedal is not being used for a longer period of time.
Dispose batteries according to local laws and regulations.
