Welcome to Select Items Norisuke. We are Japanese seller. We ship authentic items from Japan. Please enjoy shopping with peace of mind! You will find popular and useful products in Japan! Gain knob: The gain knob controls the gain, but circuit-wise it's the same as the Bright volume control on a Tweed Bassman. So when you turn it low you get a great clean with a sparkle upwards halfway or so, and that elusive touch-sensitive response that lets you play clean or dirty just by changing your picking attack. And when you crank it all the way up you get the gain structure of a Bassman with 12, thick and overdriven, but still very California sounding. Volume: This is the master volume that controls the output of the pedal. The lower you set the Gain knob, the higher you set the Volume. For the best clean, edge-of-breakup response, turn up the Volume, start with the Gain control at minimum, and slowly bring the Gain control to your desired response. This will give you the most authentic Bassman experience. 【Presence Trim Pot】There is a trim pot (accessible by removing the bottom plate) that allows you to fine-tune the presence and treble that the pedal produces. It is set at the factory to provide the best tone in most situations. However, since guitars, amps, and tastes vary, you can control the final brightness of the pedal. MODE SWITCH: It's time to talk about Secret Lead Mode! Inside you'll find a switch that toggles between Stock Bassman and Secret Lead Mode. Transforms your Formula 5 F6 from vintage low gain goodness into a California fire-breathing monster! The gain is boosted and the tone stack is reconfigured into a new voice with a fuller, brighter edge. Power Supply Any quality power supply designed for effects pedals can power the Formula 5F6. Output should be 9-18 volts negative tip DC. If you want more volume, headroom and percussive attack, try an 18 volt power supply. A 9 volt power supply is slightly softer sounding and saturates more easily. It's like the difference between a 50 watt and a 100 watt amp.
