Product Interface
The pedal features a classic layout with three main control knobs, a toggle switch, and a footswitch. The interface includes input and output jacks, and an LED indicator.
Controls:
- 1. Power Input Jack: For powering the pedal. Use a standard 9V adapter with a negative tip. The optional NUX ACD006A adapter is recommended. Using incompatible adapters may cause interference or malfunctions.
- 2. GAIN Knob: Adjusts the input signal gain level.
- 3. MASTER Knob: Adjusts the output level of the pedal.
- 4. TONE Knob: Adjusts the signal's treble frequencies, controlling the tone's brightness.

- 6. Output Jack: Connect an amplifier to this jack.
- 7. Input Jack: Connect your guitar to this jack. Connecting a cable to this jack powers the unit, whether the effect is engaged or not. When not in use, disconnect the cable from this jack to conserve battery life.
- 8. LED Indicator: Shows the operational status of the pedal.
- 9. Footswitch: Engages/disengages the effect.
