Basic Operation
Power
The MXR® Duke of Tone™ Overdrive is powered by the Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter or an MXR® Brick™ Series power supply. This pedal cannot be powered by a battery.
Directions
-
Run an instrument cable from your instrument to the CSP039’s INSTRUMENT jack and another instrument cable from the CSP039’s AMPLIFIER jack into your amplifier’s input.
-
Start with knobs set to 12 o’clock.
-
Turn effect on by depressing the footswitch.
-
Use OD/BOOST/DIST switch to select your preferred clipping style:
OD mode engages soft clipping for a touch of grit and compression. Boost mode bumps up your signal loudly and clearly with no clipping. Distortion mode engages hard clipping for a grittier, more compressed sound and a bump in output level. -
Rotate VOLUME knob clockwise to increase overall volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.
-
Rotate DRIVE knob clockwise to increase overdrive intensity or counterclockwise to decrease it.
-
Rotate TONE knob clockwise for a brighter sound or counterclockwise for a warmer sound.
