Thank you for purchasing the Matador™ Preamp. The Matador™ is an inspiring tool for the working
musician. Capable of everything from a huge clean boost to a smooth overdrive sound, the Matador
can be dialed in for just the right sound for your rig. The Matador™ features an active boost and cut
tone section, allowing precise tone-shaping to achieve your sound. When you want the Matador out of
the mix, a silent, true-bypass switch allows your signal to be passed directly from input to output.
Note: Always be sure to lower the gain on the pedal AND your amp before connection.
Gain - Sets the overall volume. Use this to match volume or give a boosted output when the
pedal is selected.
Drive - Sets the amount of available distortion.
Treble, Bass - Provides ±15dB to shape your tone.
A/C Adapter - Uses standard 2.1 x 5.5mm Center Negative Polarity 9v adapter, such as a Boss.
Using an A/C Adapter bypasses the supplied internal 9V battery. Be sure to check the internal battery
regularly for leakage.
