4 STEPS TO PERFECT DISTORTION
Using your ToneBug Distortion
Insert a 9V alkaline battery or connect to an electrical outlet using
the T-Rex Fuel Tank power supply (not included).
Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack, and run a lead from the OUTPUT jack into your amp.
Use the GAIN knob to set the amount of distortion (turn it up for a
dirtier sound), and use the TONE knob to “tune” your distortion to
just the right timbre.
Set the overall volume of your distorted sound with the LEVEL knob.
