Features

The LT DIST features Blackstar’s patented ISF (Innite Shape Feature) circuit, giving you innite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control and taking you from the USA to the UK and anywhere

in between.

Now you can effectively design your own tone and nally nd ‘the sound in your head’.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.

Controls

1. Gain

The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that

the pedal will deliver. At low settings, counter clockwise (CCW), the

English

LT DIST will deliver a clean boost, which in conjunction with the Level control can be used to overdrive an already distorting valve amplier. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound will become more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is arrived at.

2. Level

The Level control sets the overall level or volume from the LT DIST.

It should be used in conjunction with the Gain control to achieve the

exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking, to achieve the correct balance, at lower Gain settings the Level will be increased and at higher Gain settings the Level should be decreased.

3. Tone

The Tone control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the sound. At low settings, counter clockwise (CCW),

the sound will be warm and darker in character. As the control is

increased clockwise (CW) the sound will become brighter. At the maximum settings the tone will be aggressive and cutting.

4. ISF

The ISF control works in conjunction with the Tone control. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer. Fully CCW is a

more American characteristic with a tight bottom end and more

aggressive middle, and fully CW is a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive.

See illustration below.

ISF

We recommend that to start with the ISF is set to half way and the Tone control set to taste. Then try gradually adjusting the ISF CW and CCW until you nd the sound you prefer.

5. Effect On/Off Switch

Press this switch to turn the effect on or off.

6. Effect On/Off LED

When the LED is on the pedal is on. When the LED is not on the

pedal is off.

7. Input

Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar

lead. To maximise battery life unplug your cable from the pedal when

not in use.

8. Output

This output is for connection to the input of your amplier or into other pedals or effects. For best noise performance we recommend you place the LT DIST pedal rst in the effects chain. Always use a good

quality screened guitar lead.

9. DC Inlet

For the input of a 9V DC adapter. Always use a Blackstar approved 9V adapter.

10. Battery Compartment

Insert a 9V PP3 battery here. When the Effect On/Off LED begins to

glow less brightly you should change the battery.
