CONG RATULATIONS
On your purchase of the DGTM, part
of the new Gristle line from T-Rex Engineering.
The DGTM is not your typical overdrive. Inspired by the savage auditory
pummeling of Greg Koch, the DGTM brings forth a distinctive overdrive
that will satisfy many an overdrive connoisseur’s palate. From vintage
crunch to modern tweak, the DGTM has it all.
Using your DGTM is easy. Turn the page to get started.

Using your DGTM
Insert a 9V alkaline battery or connect to one of the T-Rex Fuel Tank power
supplies (not included).
Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack, and run a lead from the OUTPUT jack into
your amp.

Tone
