OPERATION:

Install a 9V battery in the unit (see below) or plug in a suitable 9Vdc,

center negative power supply. Plug your guitar into the input jack and

connect your amp to the output jack. (Note: Connecting a cable to the input

jack will automatically power up the pedal.)

If using the internal battery, remember to unplug your cable from the

input jack when you are done playing in order to insure a long battery
