MODE
Does the world need another overdrive pedal? The world never really needed
any of them, but you’ll want this one. From glassy, light drive to classic crunch
tones that feel like an extention of your amplifier, HAYMAKER™ can also go
further into higher gain territory and fuzzy textures.
VOLUME PUNCH
HIGHS
SHAPE
BYPASS
PUNCH controls the amount of drive. SHAPE is based on a mod Philip Ruetz
shared with us; it sets the frequency response and overall grit or “hair” in the
signal. HIGHS is a low-pass filter that manages the treble content. VOLUME
adjusts the overall output.
The MODE switch rotates the clipping network into different circuit locations
for a variety of tones. MODE A is classic, soft clipped overdrive. MODE B
removes the clippers for less compression and more output. MODE C is hard
clipped drive, capable of distorted and fuzzy sounds at higher settings.
On the inside is a wet/dry control trimpot. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Based on the mode you select, your settings on your pedal and guitar, and
how hard you dig it with your attack, you can find an incredible array of tones
unlike anything else out there. This is why we call it a ‘dynamic drive’. Now go
hit them with everything AND the kitchen sink!
Proudly made in the USA at our small batch distortery™ in Columbia, S.C.
SAMPLE SETTINGS – FLAVOR TO TASTE
musical/personal agenda
“I’m from nowhere. My stage
persona is from Texas.”
“This is the Cavern Club!
Squares go home!”
“What really is the difference
between overdrive, distortion,
and fuzz anyway?”
“It sounds just like a $60,000
amp made of crystal lettuce
and unobtanium.”
IMPORTANT: if you use a power supply, use only a 9V DC center negative tip
