FEEDBACK & BIAS-
Selects both the negative feedback and bias of the circuit. Negative feedback will change the gain,
frequency response, clipping, and harmonic distortion of pedal. Bias changes the operation of the gain
transistor and effects many sound properties of the pedal especially the clipping and distortion.
Measurements listed below are examples in the full range mode. Distortion and clipping are less
pronounced high and mid modes.
FEEDBACK/BIAS 1- Boost setting with a bit of fuzz. Very little negative feedback almost to the edge of
improper functioning. You can get some funky sounds on this setting depending on the amp and guitar.
Clipping is significant but soft on the top side of a sine wave, slight clipping on the bottom, with a very
rounded and smooth character to the distortion. Distortion at full boost is around 31%. Maximum gain
about 40db.
FEEDBACK/BIAS 2- Similar to #1 but without the fuzz aspect. Clipping is still plentiful but less
pronounced on the top side of the sine wave and there is a very gentle rounding of the signal. Max gain
is 41db and distortion at max is 17%.
FEEDBACK/BIAS 3- Distortion is more harmonic related on this setting. At extreme settings some clipping
of the bottom of the sine wave will occur. Max gain is 39db and harmonic distortion is 6%. There is less
low frequency than 1 or 2 and it is a bit harder sounding.
FEEDBACK/BIAS 4- Distortion is entirely harmonic without clipping. Max gain is 36db
and THD is around 2% at max. There is less low frequency than 1 or 2 and is a bit
harder sounding.
FEEDBACK/BIAS 5- 23db and .25% THD at full boost. For those who want the mildest type of boost but
still with color. Similar to number six but with even less gain. Works great when you want some color for
your amp but are not normally a high gain user.
FEEDBACK/BIAS 6- 31db and .77% THD at full boost. Crunchy but lower gain and in your face type sound.
Very colored and chunky but less intense. Works great when you want some for your amp but are
not normally a high gain user.
