XL FAT Drive - Users Guide
Welcome to the realm of Pigtronix! Your new XL FAT Drive is an all analog
distortion and boost pedal designed to impart warm, tube sound overdrive
along with a powerful clean boost, while remaining transparent and true to
your original guitar tone. The XL FAT Drive is sensitive to your playing dynamics
and will respond musically no matter how soft or hard you push it. Both
sections of this pedal are true bypass, allowing you to use either circuit
independently or combine both for a massive tone.
FAT Drive Section
The VOLUME control sets the overall output level. The GAIN control determines
how much distortion the XL FAT Drive adds to your sound when engaged. The
“MORE” switch significantly increases the pedal’s gain when put in the up
(more) position. The TONE knob controls a passive low pass filter. When the
TONE knob is fully clockwise, the filter is taken completely out of the circuit, for
maximum brightness.
XL Boost Section
The XL Boost has warm, clear sound with completely linear frequency response
so that the tone of your instrument remains true as it gets louder. The XL Boost
will impart definition and clarity to clean sounds and will increase the power
and impact of distortion tones for both lead and rhythm work.
Effects Loop (Send / Return)
The SEND and RETURN jacks will allow you to patch any other effect in between
the FAT Drive and XL Boost sections of this device. Simply connect the SEND
jack to the input of the effect you are looking to insert and connect the output
of the effect to the RETURN jack.
Power
The 18VDC power supply that is included provides a huge amount of headroom
and output level. Feel free to experiment with running this pedal on a standard
9VDC (neg. tip) supply to get even more crunch at the expense of some
headroom and overall output. The XL FAT Drive does not take batteries.
