Morley Pedals DDB User Manual

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
THANK YOU!
For purchasing a Morley® pedal.
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the features of your new pedal. With common sense handling, it should last for years. We know you will appreciate the rugged construction of your Morley®. Most of all, we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed building it.
CONTROLS
The DRIVE control determines the amount of distortion by driving up the input signal. See diagrams in the sample settings section of this manual. Keep in mind that your overall sound is a product of your guitar, amp, pickups, effects, cables, strings and of course - playing style.
The TONE control allows you to adjust the tone of your sound from a subtle bass frequency to a biting treble sound. Again, refer to the sample setting section of this manual for hints.
The LEVEL control adjusts your overall output level when in distortion mode. Adjust this control to equal the level of the distortion to the bypassed signal OR turn it up past halfway to get a boost when you engage the distortion.
IN: Input jack. Plug instrument into this jack using 1/4” guitar cable. OUT: Connect amplifier to this jack using a 1/4” guitar cable. 9V: Connect Morley 9 volt regulated AC adapter to this jack.
NOTE: You’ll find your cord fits very tightly into our input and output jacks. The tight fits helps prevent the cord from becoming accidentally unplugged from the pedal. Make sure the cords are completely plugged in for best results.
AC ADAPTER
Use only Morley’s 9-volt regulated adapters. Using a non­regulated adapter could cause a low frequency hum in your amplifier.
BATTERY
The DIAMOND DISTORTION is designed to use one 9 volt battery when not using an adapter. We suggest you use a good quality alkaline battery. Your pedal is designed for long battery life. To prolong battery life, unplug your cord completely from the input jack when not using the pedal. When the pedal is not used for extended periods, we recommend you remove the battery from the pedal or replace it every six month to prevent leakage problems.
When the battery becomes weak, the overall tone of the distortion will be noticeably weak. Remove the battery door located on the bottom of the pedal. (a short cord is attached to the door to help prevent loss. Once the door is off, the old battery can be removed from the battery snap and a new battery plugged in. Make sure the polarity (+/-) is correct before inserting the new battery. When you replace the battery door , you will notice it fits very tightly against the battery. This prevents the battery from rattling inside the pedal.
