256804 Crunch Distortion
Product Information:
The product is a Crunch Distortion effect pedal designed for
sound processing of signals from musical instruments with
electromagnetic pickups. It features controls for gain, volume, and
tone, as well as a true bypass foot switch for enabling or
disabling the pedal function. The pedal has input and output 1/4
jack sockets for connecting instruments and an amplifier. It can be
powered by an external power supply with 9V DC or by batteries.
The device should be used in accordance with the safety
instructions provided to prevent personal injury or property
damage. It is important to dispose of plastic bags and packaging
properly to avoid choking hazards for children. Children should not
detach any small parts from the product as they could swallow them.
Electrical devices should never be used by children
unsupervised.
When using an external power supply, ensure that the input
voltage matches the device’s voltage rating and that the AC outlet
is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. It is
recommended to unplug the external power supply during electrical
storms or when the device is unused for long periods of time to
reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Inserting batteries with incorrect polarity may damage the
device or batteries, so proper polarity should be observed. Leaking
batteries can cause permanent damage, so it is advised to remove
batteries if the device will not be used for an extended
period.
The product is suitable for general handling but should not be
exposed to liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners, or flammable
cleaning agents.
For detailed usage instructions, refer to the user manual
available for download on the product website.
Product Usage Instructions:
- Connect your instrument to the IN 1/4 jack socket on the
pedal. - Connect the OUT 1/4 jack socket on the pedal to an
amplifier. - If using an external power supply, connect the DC 9V input on
the pedal to the power supply using the appropriate cable. - If using batteries, ensure proper polarity and insert them into
the device. - Adjust the GAIN control clockwise to increase the degree of
distortion. - Adjust the VOLUME control clockwise to increase the output
level. - Use the TONE control to adjust the tone of the processed
signal. - Use the TRUE BYPASS foot switch to enable or disable the pedal
function. - Monitor the LED indicator. If it is off or dim while using the
effects pedal, it indicates that the battery needs to be
replaced.
