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.
