Power and Safety
This pedal requires a 9v DC negative center tip power supply (standard pedalboard power) to operate. Do NOT operate at higher voltages, with positive center, or AC current. It is highly recommended that you use an isolated power supply rather than daisy-chaining, as it will help keep the noise floor down.
This is an electrical device. Take care to keep dry and avoid liquids as they may be a shock hazard or damage the pedal.
Controls
LEVEL: set the overall output volume of the pedal
GAIN: set the amount of gain. As you turn this knob, the pedal will get louder, and you will notice more color and harmonics. Turn it enough and it will overdrive. All the way maxed out gets chewy.
LOW: this switch boosts/cuts bass frequencies (high pass filter) in the gain loop. Try more bass when clean, to keep it warm, less bass when gainy, to keep it tight.
HIGH: this switch offers two levels of presence (low-pass filter). More Gain adds brightness; use this to trim it back if needed.
GRIT: this switch offers multiple compression settings. As you change its setting you will notice more drive saturation (effect is interactive with the gain knob).
NOTE: stronger clip settings will result in some volume loss, due to the way in which diodes work; simply raise the LEVEL control to compensate.
Internal
LED BRIGHT: Many PHD Pedals have an internal trimmer control that allows some adjustment to LED brightness. This can be found on the PCB attached to the footswitch. Care must be taken while making adjustments so as not to damage internal components. If adjustments are made while the power is on, be extra careful not to create electrical shorts.
