Functions

1. The Volume control adjust overall level of the Small Fry.

2. Tone adjusts brightness of the Small Fry and usually sounds best between 12-5 o clock.

3. Dynamics adjusts the dynamics and compression characteristics the Small Fry.

4. The Burn control adjust sustain, drive and harmonic ratio.

5. Mini toggle-in the far “left position” you have stock Burn Unit style sounds, in the “middle position

you have a very dynamic and sweet vintage drive with a little less gain, this simulated asymmetric
preamp drive as well, to the far right you a a new “asymmetric “power tubes” version of the dynamic
control, this is less asymmetric at the low setting of the dynamics control and the most asymmetric at
the highest settings of the dynamics control.

6. Internal trim adjustments, There are four internal adjustments in the Small Fry. The four trims are as

follows left to right labeled note shape, bass, midrange and presence.. These are pre adjusted for a
good starting place, but you should try finding your perfect match to your amp and guitars response.
Use a small flathead screwdriver or thin pick to adjust them. Midrange usually sounds best set between
9 o clock and 2 o clock, presence and Bass have a wide range that works well. If you get lost return

all the internal pointers to 12 o clock.

Power supply should be 9 DC volt negative tip (power supply not included)
