Congratulations on your purchase of the Dirty Deed

Distortion Pedal!

The Dirty Deed Distortion Pedal is a high-gain, straight ahead rock distortion pedal that provides
classic, full sounding distortion to a clean amp (Fender), or a bold, rich overdrive to an already
dirty rig (Marshall). The pair of cross-connected MOSFETs provides a rich, warm distortion and
natural tonal character with amp-like touch sensitivity. With the gain control turned down it
works like a subtle overdrive, but with the benefit of the active cut/boost EQ controls. Revel in
the thick, searing distortion and sweet overtones that this pedal dishes out.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Level - Sets the overall level of your signal. CAUTION: The Dirty Deed Distortion is capable of

serious output!

2. Treble - Active +/-12dB of boost or cut in the high frequencies. From 12 o’clock, turn
clockwise to boost the highs, counter-clockwise to cut the treble, enhancing the mids.

3. Bass - Active control provides +/- 12dB of boost or cut. Turn clockwise for thunderous low
end, counter-clockwise to clean up any mud and bring out the all-important mids.

4. Drive - Regulates the amount of distortion the Dirty
Deed is putting out. Low settings give you a tight,
slightly overdriven tone. Turning it up increases the
distortion dramatically, for huge power chords and
endless, singing sustain.

5. True Bypass Footswitch - Removes the circuit from
your guitar’s signal via a hardwired connection from
the input jack to the output jack.

6. Input Jack - Plug in your guitar or other pedal
cable here.

7. Output Jack - Run a cable to the input of your amp
or to the next effect in your chain.

8. Power Jack - We designed this pedal to be
convenient. You can use any 9V to 18V regulated DC
adapter (negative polarity center terminal).

9. Easy Access Battery door (located on back panel) -
When it is not in use, save your battery life by removing
your guitar cable from the Input jack.
