PIGTRONIX PIG-GD Gamma Drive Overdrive Pedal User Guide
Introduction
VROOM, VROOM.
Gamma Drive is an all-analog overdrive pedal that uses a mixture of germanium, silicon and LED clipping diodes to create a perfectly balanced distortion sound that remains touch sensitive, even with the gain turned way up. Downstream from the unique Pigtronix clipping architecture, a pair of active shelving filters allow for precise control over equalization of treble and bass frequencies. These EQ controls maintain a flat frequency response in the center position while providing a 12db/ octave cut or boost when adjusted. A master Volume control dishes out copious amounts of output level, allowing Gamma Drive to function as a clean boost and EQ when the Gain is turned all the way down. Gamma Drive runs on standard 9VDC but can accept power supply voltages up to 18VDC for additional headroom and increased output level
EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS
- Volume: Sets the output level.
- Gain: Sets the amount of distortion.
- Treble: Boosts or cuts high frequencies centered at 2kHz.
- Bass: Boosts or cuts low frequencies centered at 80Hz.
Gamma Drive requires a negative tip, 9VDC power supply. Gamma Drive does not take batteries.
