• 3.1. Level Knob

  Controls the overall output volume of the pedal. Adjust this to achieve unity gain (output volume matches bypass volume) or to boost your signal.

• 3.2. Tone Knob

  Adjusts the treble content of the distorted signal. Turning it clockwise increases brightness, while turning it counter-clockwise reduces treble for a warmer sound.

• 3.3. Distortion Knob

  Determines the amount of gain and saturation applied to your signal. Rotate clockwise for more aggressive distortion and counter-clockwise for lighter overdrive or crunch tones.

• 3.4. Clipping Toggle Switch

  This three-position toggle switch selects between different clipping diode configurations, altering the pedal's compression and overall feel:

  • Лева позиција: Provides a moderate amount of compression.
  • Средња позиција: Offers a wide-open, uncompressed signal, resulting in a more raw and dynamic distortion.
  • Права позиција: Delivers a higher amount of compression, leading to a more saturated and sustained tone.

• 3.5. Bypass Footswitch

  Engages or disengages the distortion effect. When engaged, the LED indicator will illuminate.

4. Подешавање

1. Прикључак за напајање: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (center-negative) to the power input jack on the pedal. The Iron Horse V2 requires a minimum of 10mA.
2. Улазна веза: Connect your guitar or other instrument to the INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal.
3. Излазна веза: Повежите ОУТПУТ прикључак на левој страни педале на ваш ampспасилац или следећа педала у вашем сигналном ланцу.

5. Упутство за употребу

Once the pedal is properly connected and powered, you can begin to explore its tonal capabilities:

• Укључивање ефекта: Press the footswitch to activate the distortion. The LED will light up. Press again to bypass the effect.
• Adjusting Distortion: Experiment with the Distortion knob to find your desired level of gain. Lower settings provide a gritty overdrive, while higher settings deliver full-on saturation.
• Shaping Tone: Use the Tone knob to brighten or darken your sound. This is crucial for matching the pedal to different guitars and ampлифиерс.
• Контрола јачине звука: Adjust the Level knob to ensure your volume is consistent when the pedal is engaged and bypassed, or to provide a volume boost for solos.
• Истраживање режима клипирања: The clipping toggle switch significantly alters the pedal's character.
  • For a more compressed, smoother distortion, try the Тачно положај.
  • For a raw, dynamic, and less compressed sound, use the Средњи положај.
  • Тхе Лево position offers a balanced compression, suitable for many applications.

6. Одржавање

• Чишћење: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's enclosure. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Напајање: Always use a regulated 9V DC, center-negative power supply. Incorrect power can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Складиштење: Чувајте педалу на хладном и сувом месту, даље од директне сунчеве светлости и екстремних температура када се не користи.
• Везе: Ensure all cables are securely connected to prevent signal loss or intermittent operation.

КСНУМКС. Решавање проблема

• Нема звука:
  • Проверите све кабловске везе (гитара на улаз, излаз на amp).
  • Verify the power supply is correctly connected and functioning.
  • Ensure the pedal is engaged (LED illuminated).

  • Прегледајте каблове да ли има оштећења.
  • Потврдите напајање волtage and current are adequate (9V DC, at least 10mA).
  • Clean input/output jacks if corrosion is visible.
• Нежељена бука/брујање:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality, isolated power supply.
  • Проверите да ли постоје петље уземљења у вашем сигналном ланцу.
