DIRECTIONS
• Run a cable from your
guitar to the FET Driver’s
INPUT jack and run another
cable from the FET Driver’s
OUTPUT jack to your amplier.
• Start with all controls at
12 o’clock.
• Turn the effect on by depressing
the footswitch.
• Rotate the LEVEL knob clockwise
to increase overall volume of
effect or counterclockwise to
decrease it.
• When playing at loud volumes,
the HI CUT switch can be used
to roll off high frequencies for a
rounder, slightly warmer sound.
SAMPLE SETTINGS

Note that this frequency cut
occurs at an earlier stage than
any cutting or boosting from the
HI and LO controls and therefore
does not affect the behavior of
either.
• Rotate the HI knob clockwise
to boost high frequencies or
counterclockwise to cut them.
• Rotate the LO knob clockwise
to boost low frequencies or
counterclockwise to cut them.
• Rotate the DRIVE knob
clockwise to increase amount
of distortion or counterclockwise
to decrease it.
