Mode d'emploi

The DigiTech DGR Grunge pedal features four control knobs and a footswitch to shape your distortion sound.

• Pédale de commande : Press the footswitch to toggle the effect on or off. When the effect is active, the red LED indicator will illuminate.
• Bouton de niveau : Controls the overall output volume of the pedal. Adjust this to balance the volume between the effect on and off states, or to boost your signal.
• Bouton bas : Adjusts the amount of bass frequencies in your distorted tone. Turn clockwise for more bass, counter-clockwise for less.
• Bouton haut : Adjusts the amount of treble frequencies in your distorted tone. Turn clockwise for more treble, counter-clockwise for less.
• Grunge (Gain) Knob: Controls the intensity of the distortion. Turning this knob clockwise increases the amount of gain, resulting in a more saturated and aggressive distortion.

Experiment with different combinations of these controls to find your desired grunge distortion sound. Start with all knobs at the 12 o'clock position and adjust incrementally.
