Features

The HT-DISTX allows more tonal adjustment than any other pedal

around. The patented ISF (Innite Shape Feature) circuit gives you

innite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network

and takes you from the USA to the UK and anywhere in between. So

now, for the rst time, you can effectively design your own tone and

nally nd ‘the sound in your head’.

This pedal is designed to deliver the most aggressive high gain valve

tones that modern guitarists need and the high voltage valve design

means all the tones available are extremely dynamic and natural. A no

compromise speaker emulated output allows you to get your great

guitar tone straight to tape or disk.

Controls

1. Gain

The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that the

pedal will deliver. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the

sound becomes more overdriven moving through crunch tones until,

at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is arrived at.

2. Bass

The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your

tone. This pedal has an advanced tone shaping circuit which allows

the tone to be tight and cutting, counter clockwise (CCW), to warm

and thumping (CW).

3. Middle

The Middle control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your

tone. The middle frequencies are particularly important in getting

the amount of ‘body’ your tone has. With the Middle control set to

its minimum position (fully CCW) the sound will be aggressive and

scooped, this is a tone ideal for aggressive rhythm playing. As the

Middle control is increased (CW) the amount of ‘body’ is increased,

which is more suitable for sustained lead guitar tones.

4. Treble

The Treble control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies

within the sound. At low settings (CCW) the sound will be warm and

darker in character. As the Treble control is increased (CW) the sound

will become brighter. At the maximum settings the sound will be

aggressive and cutting.

5. ISF (Innite Shape Feature)

The ISF control works in conjunction with the Bass, Middle and Treble

controls. It allows you to choose the exact tone signature you prefer.

Fully CCW is a more American characteristic with a tight bottom end

and more aggressive middle, and fully CW is a

British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and less aggressive. See

illustration below.

We recommend that to start with the ISF is set to half way and the

Bass, Middle and Treble are set to taste. Then try gradually adjusting

the ISF CW and CCW until you nd the sound you prefer.

6. Level

The Level control sets the overall level or volume from the pedal. It

should be used in conjunction with the Gain control to achieve the

exact type of drive you require. Generally speaking at lower Gain

settings the Volume will be increased and at higher Gain settings the

Volume should be decreased.

7. Output

This output is for connection to the input of your amplier or into other

pedals or effects. For best noise performance we recommend you

place the overdrive pedal rst in the effects chain. Always use a good

quality screened guitar lead.

8. Speaker Emulated Output

This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker

cabinet and provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection

to a recording device or mixing desk. Always use a good quality

screened guitar lead.

9. Input

Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar

lead.
