Operation of the FX66
The FX66 was designed to give you the vintage
sound typical of what bands in the 60’s used. A few
simple knob adjustments and the groovy tones will
make you feel the flower power. You’ll find yourself
saying “peace, love and rock & roll, man.”
Start by adjusting the Volume knob to match the
level of the bypassed signal. Bypass the FX66 and lis-
ten to the volume level.Then engage the distortion
and turn the Volume knob until the level is relatively
the same.
Next, you’ll want to tune in the amount of Fuzz that
you need. Rotate the Fuzz knob until you find that
psychedelic groove you’re looking for.
Now use the Low control to adjust how heavy you
want the bass frequencies to be.
Finally, use the tone knob to give your guitar the
amount of high end edge that you want.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different knob
settings.After all, only you know the colors that you
want your music to show. It’s now up to you to
“tune in, turn on and drop out.”

The FX20 is our unique
stereo phaser pedal.The
rich phasing gives you that
classic phaser sound, but
also provides the option of
adding regeneration to the
effect.This breaths new life
into your sound by putting
a modern twist on an irre-
placable effect.
The FX22 is a new
approach to the old stand
by vibrato effect. By com-
bining the conventional
vibrato with a rotary speak-
er effect, and then adding
phasing capabilities, we have
come up with a new gener-
ation of modulation effects.
Once you hear it, we’re
certain that you’ll love it.
The FX25B is the rein-
carnation of our original
envelope filter.You still get
that great automatic wah
sound, but we’ve taken it
one step further by adding
a blend control making the
FX25 equally responsive to
both the guitar and bass
guitar.
The FX40B is a powerful
sound shaping tool. It is a
seven band EQ with one
band for every octave, 12
dB of boost or cut for
every band, and a slide pot
for controlling the overall
level.The FX40 is a tried
and true design.
The FX55B Supra
Distortion has been around
for a while, and it’s still
going strong.That classic
amp-like distortion never
goes out of style.With the
same level, tone, and gain
controls that it had over a
decade ago, it’s like hanging
out with an old friend.
The FX64 Ice Box is an
incredible sounding stereo
chorus. It gives you the
standard level, speed, and
depth controls, but adds a
high EQ knob for boosting
your high end edge while
sweetening your tone with
the thick modulating delay
of a chorus.
The FX66 is a distortion
pedal reminiscent of the old
fuzzy faced distortions,
designed to give you that
vintage sound of the 60’s.
You’ll feel like you’ve had a
flashback from the Monterey
Pop Festival just by connect-
ing your guitar to the FX66
and playing. So, are you
experienced?
The FX69 Grunge is our
most famous distortion
pedal ever. Simply put, it is
the fattest sounding distor-
tion available anywhere. If
you want a modern crunch
with huge low end
response, the FX69 can’t be
touched.
The FX75C stereo flanger
extends the sweep range to
give you unbelievable depth,
and incredible regeneration.
The stereo outputs place
you in the middle of the
runway as a 747 jet lands.
The FX75C is a great way
to add annimation the sound
of any instrument.
The FX84 Milk Box is the
healthiest way to add the
thick creamy texture of a
compressor expander to
your playing style, while still
retaining a lean physique.
The FX84 will smooth out
the rough edges, but is
transparent enough to still
feel what you’re playing.
The FX86 is the premier
distortion for the death
metal guitarist.There is no
way of getting more low end,
or more distortion in this
life.That’s why it’s called the
death metal pedal.Although
it creates an unnatural
amount of distortion, your
solos still cut through with
amazing clearity.
The FX91 unleashes the
power of distortion on the
bass guitarist.Whether you
want just a touch of over-
drive, or the full furry of
shreded meat, the FX91
delivers.The blend knob
lets you mix just the right
amount of distortion with
your original clean tone.
The FX96 returns to the
warm sounds of an analog
tape delay, but with the
reliability of digital elec-
tronics.A dedicated “tape
quality” control lets you
decide how much deterio-
ration you want in the
repeats.
The FX102 Mystic Blues
pedal responds to the dynam-
ics of your playing. If music is
the expression of your soul,
your expression shouldn’t be
lost in the electronic circuits of
solid state distortion.With the
FX102, the harder you play, the
more distortion you’ll get. It’s
all controlled by your fingers,
not by the electronics.
