• 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:

  • Pożizzjoni tax-Xellug: Provides a moderate amount of compression.
  • Pożizzjoni Nofsani: Offers a wide-open, uncompressed signal, resulting in a more raw and dynamic distortion.
  • Pożizzjoni Tajba: 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. Setup

1. Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija: 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. Konnessjoni tal-Input: Connect your guitar or other instrument to the INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal.
3. Konnessjoni tal-Output: Qabbad il-jack OUTPUT fuq in-naħa tax-xellug tal-pedala tiegħek amplifier jew il-pedala li jmiss fil-katina tas-sinjali tiegħek.
4. Settings Inizjali: Start with all knobs at noon (12 o'clock) and the toggle switch in the middle position for a balanced starting point.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

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

• Involvu l-Effett: 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 ampliifikaturi.
• Kontroll tal-Volum: 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.
• Esplorazzjoni tal-Modi tal-Ikklippjar: The clipping toggle switch significantly alters the pedal's character.
  • For a more compressed, smoother distortion, try the Dritt pożizzjoni.
  • For a raw, dynamic, and less compressed sound, use the Nofsani pożizzjoni.
  • Il- Xellug position offers a balanced compression, suitable for many applications.

6. Manutenzjoni

• Tindif: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's enclosure. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Provvista tal-Enerġija: Always use a regulated 9V DC, center-negative power supply. Incorrect power can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• Ħażna: Aħżen il-pedala f'post frisk u niexef 'il bogħod mix-xemx diretta u minn temperaturi estremi meta ma tkunx qed tużaha.
• Konnessjonijiet: Kun żgur li l-kejbils kollha huma konnessi sew biex tevita t-telf tas-sinjal jew tħaddim intermittenti.

7 Issolvi l-problemi

• Ebda Ħsejjes:
  • Iċċekkja l-konnessjonijiet kollha tal-kejbil (il-kitarra għall-input, l-output għall- amp).
  • Iċċekkja li l-provvista tal-enerġija hija konnessa sew u qed taħdem.
  • Ensure the pedal is engaged (LED illuminated).
• Sinjal Dgħajjef jew Intermittenti:
  • Spezzjona l-kejbils għal ħsara.
  • Ikkonferma l-provvista tal-enerġija voltage and current are adequate (9V DC, at least 10mA).
  • Clean input/output jacks if corrosion is visible.
• Ħoss/Ħoss mhux mixtieq:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality, isolated power supply.
  • Iċċekkja għal ground loops fil-katina tas-sinjali tiegħek.
  • Mexxi l-pedala 'l bogħod mit-transformers tal-enerġija jew minn sorsi oħra ta' interferenza elettromanjetika.
