Analog Alien Power Pack User manual

POWER
PACK!
Whether you’re looking to boost your amp,
enhance the sound quality of your effects
pedals, or restore unity gain to your signal path,
the Analog Alien Power Pack is the perfect
choice to do it all.
The Analog Alien Power Pack is a simple,
yet powerful and versatile clean boost.
The Power Pack's buffered input and unique gain
stage make it the perfect choice to boost your
amp's input stage, as well as maintain unity gain
and tonal balance throughout your signal path.
If you use pedals, especially older vintage pedals,
you may be experiencing a loss in signal level
whenever one or more of themare in use.
The Power Pack will restore your signal to unity
gain, and at the same time improve the sound
quality of your pedals. The Power Pack is designed
to work with both guitar and bass.
It's our goal at Analog Alien to make the
best sounding effects pedals on the planet.
We accomplish this in a straightforward
manner...we make pedals that we would
like to use ourselves, and we pay close
attention to every detail of their construction.

TIPS FOR USE
The key to using the Power Pack efficiently is to use your ears. Where to set the gain control on the
Power Pack depends on the design of your amplifier's circuit and the amount of boost you are trying to
achieve. The Power Pack is a clean boost; it is NOT a distortion or overdrive pedal. Distortion and over-
drive are produced by using the Power Pack to boost your guitar amplifier's input. This, in turn, enables
the amplifier to produce the desired amount of distortion and/or overdrive on its own.
If your preference is to use smaller vintage tube amps, you may have experienced a situation where you
wished you could get more output from them. Inside many of these smaller amps is a much larger amp
waiting to get out and be heard. If your vintage amp is maxed out at 10, and you wish it could go to 12,
then the Power Pack is your ticket to ride.
The Power Pack is also perfect to restore unity gain to your signal, or to improve the sound and
performance of the other pedals in your signal chain. Try experimenting by placing the Power Pack at
the beginning or at the end of your signal path and adjust the gain control until the desired output level
is achieved.
