FULLBORE METAL

DIRECTIONS
• Run a cable from your guitar to

the Fullbore Metal’s INPUT jack
and run another cable from the
Fullbore Metal’s OUTPUT jack to
your amplifier.

• NOTE: Start with Volume, Gain,

and Bass at their lowest setting
(fully counterclockwise). This
pedal is very dynamic and adds
tons of gain—be warned!

• Turn the effect on by depressing

the footswitch.

• Adjust the Gain, Volume, Low,

Mid, Freq and High controls
until the desired output and
tone is acquired.

• Depress the SCOOP button (red

LED lit) for a scooped nu-metal
sound that accentuates the low
and high frequencies.

• To sharpen the attack of

syncopated rhythms or to
cut down on excess noise,
depress the GATE button
(green LED lit). To adjust the
GATE control’s sensitivity,
please refer to diagram A.
