Cusack Music Screamer Fuzz Bass Owner's Manual

LEVEL - This is the overall level of the af-

fected signal. Adjust this for the correct
sound level between off and on.

Fuzz - All the way counterclockwise is no

fuzz, all the way clockwise is “Broken Op­Amp” and it cuts out as your note decays.

Status LED (Red/Green) - When the effect is on

the LED is Red. When battery voltage is below
~7.5V, the LED will blink a few times when the pedal
is engaged. By default the LED is Green when by­passed. To have the LED off in bypass HOLD the By­pass Switch for several seconds until the LED Blinks.

Hold again to turn the LED back on in Bypass.

Scream - All the way counter clockwise is no
gain, all the way clockwise is about twice the

gain of a typical Overdrive pedal.

IN—Guitar Input to the pedal. This jack
disconnects power, unplug when not

in use.

OUT - Output of the pedal. Plug
this either into your amp or
into any other effects you

want after.

Bypass Switch -

Kick the switch to
change from ef­fect on to effect

off.

DC Power Jack - Used to

power your pedal from a DC supply.
This has the same pin-out as the standard pedal
supplies, tip is ground, sleeve is 9V. Use a filtered
supply, especially on high gain overdrive and distortion

Clip Mode Toggle - Select the type of Clipping

Diodes. To the Left is “Stock”, to the right is

“Crushed”, and in the middle is

“LED” (Asymmetrical LED clipping).

Different diodes cause the
overall level to change, so

you may have to adjust the

level after moving the Clip

Mode Toggle.

Clip LED - This is the LED
above the Toggle Switch.

When in LED Clip Mode, this LED will follow

your bass playing. The brightness will vary

depending on guitar pickups and Scream set-

ting, and does not light up at low gain settings. If

you jam the front end with another high gain pedal,

you can use the Clip-O-Meter to tune your guitar.

Hit your 5th fret and next open; Tune until the Clip-O

-Meter stops blinking. A great trick to impress your
friends with!

pedals, since they tend to amplify power supply noise.

Power Consumption - ~8mA.
