DETAILS
Tri coloured LED’s are more expensive than regular single colour LED’s, but we feel they are worth the investment. Where you have a pedal that has multiple modes on a dark stage a tri colour LED gives you a clear visual reference to which mode your pedal is running in.

It is important that when you activate an effect there is no switching noise. So, we take great care in designing a switching system that is totally silent in operation. The only thing you should here is a great sounding product.

LAYOUT
The layout of your pedal has been ergonomically designed by players, for players, to give you control over all the features you need, quickly and effectively.
The following pages will give you an insight into how the controls on THE CUSTARD FACTORY work and interact with each other.

CONTROLS

1 COMP
Controls the amount of compression.

2 PRESENCE
Controls the amount of treble in the compressed signal.

3 VOLUME
Controls the signal output level of the compres- sor pedal.

4 MODE SWITCH
Changes the speed of attack of the compres- sion circuit. Fast for quick runs, slow for long sustained notes and medium sits in between the two.

5 WET-MIX-DRY
Control to allow a blend of dry signal with the compressed signal. Dialled Anti-clockwise is fully dry, dialled clockwise is fully wet with 50/50 being in the centre. Set to your taste.

6 SIGNAL INPUT
Bass / Guitar / Instrument input. Optimised for bass guitar but can accept other instruments.

7 FOOTSWITCH
Enables / Disables the pedal.

8 OUTPUT
The main FX Output (this is a mono device).

OPERATION
Install a good quality 9V battery into the pedal by unscrewing the base of the pedal and fitting the battery securely to the battery connector and then replace the base of the pedal.
Do not use excessive force to tighten up the 4 base plate screws as this could damage the screws.
When not in use it is always a good idea to remove the input jack from your pedal to prevent any unwanted battery power loss.
Caution - when you do not intend to use the pedal for a long period of time, it is always advisable to remove the battery to prevent current loss and battery leakage.
Alternatively - and highly recommended is the use of an external good quality DC 9V PSU.
