DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

Use a DIP switch for versatility, or wire jumpers to create a fixed configuration. With the switch in the "ON" position, the circuit is closed (shorted), which is the same as creating a permanent connection with a wire jumper.

 

 S1 ON: Overdrive effect. S1 OFF: Clean boost.

 

 S2 ON: 37dB gain. S2 OFF: 25dB gain.

 

 S3 ON: Linear booster. S3 OFF: Treble booster.
