3. Impostazione

Follow these steps to connect your Donner Dark Mouse Distortion Pedal:

1. Assicurati che amplifier sia spento prima di effettuare qualsiasi connessione.
2. Collega la tua chitarra elettrica al Presa di ingresso (6) of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
3. Collegare il Jack di uscita (7) of the pedal to your ampl'ingresso del lifier utilizzando un altro cavo standard per strumenti da 1/4 di pollice.
4. Connect a 9V DC power adapter (center negative, 500mA minimum) to the Jack DC 9V (1). Note: The power supply is not included. Using an incorrect power supply may damage the pedal.
5. Once all connections are secure, you may turn on your amppiù vivace.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

The Dark Mouse pedal offers two distinct distortion modes and flexible controls to tailor your sound.

Coinvolgimento dell'effetto:

Premere il tasto pedale (9) to toggle the effect on or off. The Indicatore LED (8) will illuminate when the effect is active.

Selecting Distortion Modes:

Utilizzare il Interruttore di modalità (2) to select between the two distortion modes:

• CLASSICO: Produce un caldo, vintage distortion sound with a subtle fuzz characteristic.
• HYPER: Offers a more powerful and aggressive sound with enhanced edges and low-end response.

Figure 4: The mode switch allows selection between Classic and Hyper distortion.

Adjusting Tone and Gain:

Utilize the three control knobs to fine-tune your distortion sound:

• LEVEL Knob (3): Adjust this to set the overall output volume of the pedal. Start with it at a moderate level and adjust to match your bypassed signal volume.
• DIST Knob (5): Turn this knob clockwise to increase the amount of distortion, from subtle crunch to heavy saturation.
• FILTER Knob (4): This control acts as a tone shaping filter. Turning it clockwise will increase the brightness and treble content of the distortion, while turning it counter-clockwise will result in a darker tone.

Figure 5: The Level, Dist, and Filter knobs provide flexible control over the effect.

Vero bypass:

The pedal features true bypass circuitry. This means that when the effect is disengaged, your guitar signal passes directly through the pedal without any electronic interference, preserving your original tone. The LED indicator will be off when in true bypass mode.

5. Manutenzione

• Pulizia: Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto per pulire l'esterno del pedale. Evitare l'uso di detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
• Magazzinaggio: Conservare il pedale in un ambiente asciutto, lontano da temperature estreme e dalla luce solare diretta.
• Alimentazione elettrica: Always use a 9V DC center-negative power adapter with a minimum of 500mA current. Disconnect the power supply when the pedal is not in use for extended periods.
• Cura fisica: The pedal features a durable aluminum alloy casing. Avoid dropping the pedal or subjecting it to excessive force.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Nessun suono:
  • Controllare tutti i collegamenti dei cavi (chitarra all'ingresso, uscita a amp).
  • Assicurarsi che l'adattatore di alimentazione sia collegato correttamente e fornisca energia.
  • Verifica che la tua chitarra e amplifier funzionino correttamente.
  • If the LED is off, press the footswitch to engage the effect.
• Weak or Distorted Sound (when bypassed):
  • This pedal features true bypass, so a weak or distorted bypassed signal usually indicates an issue with cables or other equipment in your signal chain, not the pedal itself.
• Rumore/ronzio indesiderato:
  • Ensure you are using a regulated 9V DC center-negative power supply. Unregulated power supplies can introduce noise.
  • Controllare che i cavi non siano difettosi.
  • Move the pedal away from power transformers or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
