Welcome!

Thank you for entering the realm of Pigtronix. Your OFO is a professional
quality, 100% analog distortion pedal that features three original Pigtronix
effects. The “Overdrive” and “Fuzz” effects in this pedal are wired in parallel,
allowing you to blend two separate distortion sounds for a remarkable range of
thick yet articulate sounds. There is also a frequency doubling, “Octava”
circuit, wired in series before the Overdrive and Fuzz. Each of these three
effects can be used independently or in any combination.

In keeping with Pigtronix tradition. The controls on the OFO have been tuned
to provide the fattest possible tone and widest range of musical possibilities.

The OFO will accept instrument or line level signals, making it a suitable effect
for guitars, basses, keyboards, turntables, laptops, studios, amplified brass and
wind instruments… you name it.

Our OFO was born out of a passion for versatile, expressive musical effects; it
is built to last and designed to inspire.

We hope it will provide you with years of creative satisfaction.

Peace,

Pigtronix

Anatomy of the OFO

The Interface:

Jacks

1. IN – Effect Input - Plug instrument in here

2. DC POWER 9-15VOLTS – Power input. We strongly recommend that you
use only the 15-Volt, negative tip power supply that came with your
Pigtronix OFO. Using the wrong power supply could result in a damaged
pedal.

*note: The OFO is able to run on 9-Volts, however, for best performance
please just use 15-Volts at all times.

3. CLEAN – Your clean signal is always present at this jack. When the unit is
powered up. This feature can be used as a side-chain source and also is
ideal for direct recording, as you may wish to track both a clean and a
distorted sound at the same time.

*note: When using the OFO in conjunction with the Pigtronix EP-1, be sure
to connect the OFO Clean output to the EP-1’s trigger input. This will allow
your clean signal to control the EP-1’s envelope follower, regardless of
how much distortion you pile on.

4. OUTPUT – Effect output – to amp, mixer, recording desk, etc.
