4. Naudojimo instrukcijos
The Dark Mouse pedal offers two distinct distortion modes and flexible controls to tailor your sound.
Efekto įtraukimas:
Paspauskite Kojinis jungiklis (9) to toggle the effect on or off. The LED indikatorius (8) will illuminate when the effect is active.
Selecting Distortion Modes:

- 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.
Tikras aplinkkelis:
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.

6. Problemų sprendimas
- Nėra garso:

- Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and providing power.
- Patikrinkite, ar jūsų gitara ir amplifier are functioning correctly.
- 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.
- Nepageidaujamas triukšmas / ūžesys:
- Įsitikinkite, kad naudojate reguliuojamą 9 V nuolatinės srovės maitinimo šaltinį su centriniu neigiamu poliumi. Nereguliuojami maitinimo šaltiniai gali skleisti triukšmą.
- Patikrinkite, ar nėra pažeistų kabelių.
- Move the pedal away from power transformers or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
