Thank you for buying the
MIGHTY RED DISTORTION!

Mighty Red Distortion is a high-gain
distortion pedal, which was modeled after
the 80’s style compressed gain sounds.
It is extremely easy (and lot of fun) to play,
because its texture is adjusted to give clarity
and defi nition also at heavy distortion. Gain
range allows also low distortion sounds as
well as stacking with other pedals, where
an overdrive (preferably MP LGW) can pre­drive MRD for extreme and highly focused
sounds. To get these gain levels with their
impressive signal to noise ratio, we didn’t
use any noise gate or expander. Instead,
we used special amplifi er techniques and
extreme low noise amplifi er stages, which
result in a natural decay and a rather high
current consumption for a distortion pedal
in view of battery operation.

MRD has that 80’s sound many have longed
for but never got before at such low noise
levels and versatility.

The Presence control was designed to control
the upper treble, but not to affect the upper
midrange, so that you can get the exact treble
you desire. You can master anything from fat
warm singing distortion to screaming cutting
leads with the MRD’s Presence control.

Step into your spandex trousers
and plug in the
MIGHTY RED DISTORTION pedal!!

The controls are:

• VOLUME, sets the level of distorted signal

• DISTORTION, controls the amount of

distortion

• PRESENCE, controls upper treble, while
not affecting the upper midrange so you can
adjust tones from warm and sweet into
cutting leads with an attitude.

C A U T I O N !

Never operate the unit with its bottom
removed or damage will most likely occur.
