To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very familiar with the controls. The
Dracarys has five controls and 2 voicing options. Each control will affect the others so it’s a good
idea to see how each works in realtion to the others as much as possible. For example, the EQ
knobs react differently in the OPEN position than they does in the TIGHT position. After all, half the
fun is finding out - so play with everything and see what works best for you!
Bypass Switch
– Simple enough, this relay based soft switch is wired up for true bypass switching to
ensure that you don't have anything in the way when you disable the pedal. The LED indicator light
will show that when the pedal is activated.
Volume
– This controls the output level of the pedal. It works just like the volume knob on your
guitar or your amp. As you raise the gain knob, and depending on how you adjust the EQ controls
and switches, you may need to raise or lower the volume knob to achieve the same output level.
That's perfectly normal. We suggest that initially you find where “unity” volume is (when the affect-
ed sound level is the same as the unaffected sound level) and work from there.
Gain – As you can probably guess, this controls the amount of dirt that is heard when the pedal is
engaged. The more you turn it clockwise, the heavier and thicker the sound will become. As usual
the amount of gain achieved and the style of the gain differs depending on where the switch is. This
is explained fully below...
Bass / Mids / Treble
– You can use these controls to EQ the affected signal from the pedal. These
controls are active so they will add as well as take away. We recommend you start with everything at
noon and then move them around and see what happens... It’s well worth trying them each towards
the extremes, that way you will get a great feel for what each does. Remember, the more mids you
take out, the more your tone will be lost in the mix...
Open / Tight
– The true versatility lies in this control, when used with the active EQ stack. The open
setting sounds just like that - just as it’s described, there isn’t a huge amount of compression and
the guitar really opens up with rhythm playing. When switched to tight, there is more compression
and the notes sing for ever in solos... Of course, these are just our findings and you may want to use
it a different way... try it every way and see what works for you!

It’s not practical in the mix, but you can’t
go high gain without at least trying it...
Classic high gain for classic rock
