Opstelgids
Follow these steps to properly set up your Pigtronix Gamma Drive pedal:
1. Kragverbinding
Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (not included) to the "DC 9V" input jack on the top of the pedal. Ensure the power supply is center-negative and provides at least 10mA of current.

2. Instrument verbinding
Connect your instrument (e.g., guitar) to the INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. Amplewendiger verbinding
Koppel die OUTPUT-aansluiting aan die linkerkant van die pedaal aan jou amplifier's input using another standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.

Figuur 4: Voorkant view of the pedal showing the layout of the control knobs.
- VOLUME: Controls the overall output level of the pedal. Turn clockwise to increase the volume.
- WINS: Adjusts the amount of overdrive and distortion. Higher settings produce more saturated and aggressive tones.
- TREBEL: Shapes the high-frequency content of your tone. Turn clockwise for brighter sounds, counter-clockwise for warmer tones.
- BAS: Controls the low-frequency content. Turn clockwise to add more bass, counter-clockwise to reduce it.
Gebruik die voetskakelaar
The large footswitch at the bottom of the pedal engages or bypasses the effect. When the effect is active, the LED indicator above the footswitch will illuminate. When bypassed, your signal passes through the pedal unaffected (true bypass).
