CSP036 IL DIAVOLO

™

OVERDRIVE

The Il Diavolo Overdrive, designed in collaboration
with premier Italian pedal designer Carlo Sorasio,
features a classic circuit that’s been hot-rodded
for enhanced midrange and low end frequencies.
Thanks to the Hi/Low switch, this pedal gives
you access to a wide range of symmetrical and
asymmetrical tones, from a smooth organic boost
to sweet, smoky overdrive to full on grind.

DIRECTIONS

• Run a cable from your guitar
to the CSP036’s INPUT jack
and run another cable from the
CSP036’s OUTPUT jack to
your amplifier.

• Set all controls to their
12 o’clock position.

• Turn the effect on by
depressing the footswitch.

• Rotate DRIVE knob clockwise to
increase amount of overdrive or
counterclockwise to decrease it.

• Rotate LEVEL knob clock wise to
increase overall effect volume or
counterclockwise to decrease it.

• Rotate TONE knob clockwise
for a brighter sound or
counterclockwise for a

INPUT

darker sound.

• Use HI/LOW switch to select
your preferred overdrive style:
the Low position provides
aggressive, asymmetrical silicon
diode clipping, while the Hi
position provides wide open,
symmetrical LED diode clipping.
The center position bypasses the
clipping diodes for a raw, high
gain boost.

POWER

The Il Diavolo Overdrive is
powered by one 9-volt battery
(remove bottom plate to install),
a 9-volt AC adapter such as the
Dunlop ECB003, or the DC Brick™
and Iso-Brick™ power supplies.
