INSTRUCTION

MANUAL

A truly unique concept, the Kliptonite has no equal.

Boasting a brutal blend of footswitchable overdrive and fuzz, our
innovative mirror mix lets you dial in your perfect mix between
overdrive and fuzz.

The Kliptonite is perhaps one of the most exciting drive tones
you will ever experience, being 2 pedals in one with the ability to

mix between the two.

By combining a Paracentric EQ, unique parallel fuzz / overdrive
blend options, expression pedal control and dual channel,
footswitchable operation, this highlygated, otherwordly pedal is

powerful enough to stop superheroes in their tracks.

(PLEASE NOTE YOU CAN ADJUST THE INTERNAL BIAS VIA THE
INTERNAL BIAS POT FOR SLIGHT MORE OR LESS SUSTAIN) THIS
PRODUCT IS INTENDED TO SUSTAIN MUCH LESS THAN A NORMAL
FUZZ PEDAL AND IS TERMED A “VELCRO FUZZ” PEDAL.)

Step 1: Open up the pedal using the screws on the bottom of the pedal.

Step 2: Plug your guitar into the pedal and pedal into your amp

Step 3: Use a small screw driver to turn the bias trim pot inside
Step 4: While turning the bias trim pot play an open chord on your guitar
and you will hear the pedal become “gated in tone” and you can adjust

this amount of bias gating to get more sustain. This optimimum point is

roughly in the centre of travel of the trim pots turn.

Cut / Boost Knob:

controls how much

cut or boost by + / -

20dB. At 12 o’clock

its at unity gain.

5 Position Band-

width: sets the Q

of the boost or cut.

From thin (needle

point) to fat (stand-

ard pedal response).

Mirrior Mix: allows

you to combine

both fuzz and
overdrive. You can
use the footswitch

to change between

with channel, includ-

ing the mix ration.

50/50, 75/25 etc

Balance Knob:

controls the overall

volume of the pedal and

has a volume compen-

sator circuit within it.

Unity gain is at

12 o’clock.

Freq Knob:

allows you to set

the frequency
that you want

to cut or boost.

Ranges from

35Hz to 6Khz.

Fuzzy Drive: allows

you to dial in the

amount of fuzz or

overdrive. You can

increase the gain

to this knob via the

balance knob.

On / Off: turns the

pedal on and off for

true bypass.

• Paracentric EQ with adjustable fuzz and overdrive

• Frequency response from 35Hz-6kHz (For Bass & Guitar)

• Mirror Mix feature for mixture of both overdrive and fuzz
tones

• Frequency sweep control via expression pedal

• Wah Wah function via expression using boost in thin
setting, Phaser function via expression using cut in thin

setting, Tone control function via expression using medium

to fat bandwidth setting.

• 9v Power supply centre negative 2.1mm Boss Style (use iso­lated power supply to reduce noise) Current Draw is 35mA

• Foot-switchable channel selection of overdrive and fuzz.

• Expression input (Please note that the Kliptonite will only

work with the Stone Deaf EP-1 expression pedal because
it uses the same custom components.

• Hand Built in Manchester, United Kingdom

Please note if you are trying to match volume to other pedals
you need to experiment with the bandwidth Q, boost / cut,

frequency and the balance knobs as this all works in conjuncti­on with the pedals overall volume. There is an overall volume
compensation circuit built into the balance knob of the pedal so

when boosting reduce the balance output by turning counter

clockwise to suit. When cutting do the opposite increasing the
balance output turning clockwise to suit.
