EAST RIVER DRIVE
Congratulations on your purchase of the East River Drive, a classic overdrive in a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. The East River Drive maintains the character of your guitar and playing style while adding an edge to your tone that ranges from mild overdrive to gritty distortion. True bypass switching keeps your tone intact when the pedal is bypassed.
– CONTROLS –
DRIVE Knob - Controls the amount of input gain. As you turn DRIVE clockwise, the overdrive ranges from mild edge to classic distortion.
TONE Knob - Emphasizes a range of tones; from bass to treble as the TONE knob is turned clockwise.
VOL Knob - Sets the output volume of the EAST RIVER DRIVE.
FOOTSWITCH and LED - The footswitch selects whether the EAST RIVER DRIVE is engaged or in true bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED will be lit.
INPUT jack - This ¼” jack is the audio input for the EAST RIVER DRIVE. The input impedance is 375k.
AMP jack - This ¼” jack is the audio output from the EAST RIVER DRIVE. The output impedance is 250.
9V Power Jack - The EAST RIVER DRIVE can run off of a 9V battery or you can use an optional 9VDC AC Adapter capable of delivering at least 25mA to the 9V power jack, such as the EHX9.6DC-200. The AC Adapter must have a center- negative plug. The battery may be left in or taken out when using an AC Adapter. The EAST RIVER DRIVE has a current draw of 6mA at 9VDC.
– CHANGING THE BATTERY –
To change the 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the EAST RIVER DRIVE. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the bottom plate and change the battery. Please do not touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a component.
