6. ISF (Infinite 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 find the sound you prefer.
7. Fire Level
This Level control sets the overall level or volume from the Fire
channel of the pedal. It should be used in conjunction with the Fire
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.
8. Fury Level
This Level control sets the overall level or volume from the Fury
channel of the pedal. It should be used in conjunction with the Fury
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.
9. Output
This output is for connection to the input of your amplifier or into
other pedals or effects. For best noise performance we recommend
you place the overdrive pedal first in the effects chain. Always use a
good quality screened guitar lead.

Controls
1. Fire Gain
This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that
the Fire Channel will deliver. As the Gain control is increased
clockwise (CW) the sound will become more overdriven moving
through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full distorted
crunch tone is arrived at.
2. Fury Gain
This Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion that
the Fury Channel will deliver. As the Gain control is increased (CW)
the sound becomes more overdriven moving through crunch tones
until, at its maximum position, a full distorted lead tone is reached.
3. Bass
The Bass control adjusts the amount of low end frequencies in your
tone. This pedal has an advanced tone shaping circuit (shared by
Channel 1 and Channel 2) which allows the tone to be tight and
cutting, counter clockwise (CCW), to warm and thumping (CW).
4. 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.
5. 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.
