We are very proud of the high quality standard that we’re able to oer thanks to our 100% Made in Italy production, state-of the-art testing and quality control facilities, and top-

Thank you again, and enjoy your DV Mark Over Marker!
3. INTRODUCTION
The DV Mark Over Marker oers a practical range of sounds, from mild crunch to wild lead distortion, and its versatility makes it useful for any musical style. It always honors your
guitar’s voice, providing very dynamic, touch-sensitive response and a large output range.
Like all our pedals, this unit features “true bypass”: that means that when the Over Marker is‘o’, your signal goes directly from the input jack to the output jack without any
degradation of audio quality.
Start by running a cable from your guitar to the Over Marker input jack, and run another cable from the pedal output to your amp, setting the OVER-D and LEVEL controls to the 12
o’clock position and with the TONE controls o. Turn on the eect by stepping on the footswitch, and dial in the amount of distortion desired by adjusting the OVER-D knob. Adjust
the tone as you like with the TONE knobs, and use the LEVEL knob to set the desired volume level of the eect.

4. FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW
OVER-D (1) – adjusts the amount of distortion.
LEVEL (2) - controls the overall eect volume, so you can match the distortion level to the clean volume when switching the
eect on and o, or set the amount of boost you want the pedal to cause.
TONE 1 (3) - controls the frequencies from 200 Hz to 2.5 kHz. Turning this knob up will result in brighter distortion tone; turning
it down will make the distortion darker.
TONE 2 (4) - cuts from 0 to - 20dB at 800 Hz. This control removes mids from your distortion tone.
ON/OFF SWITCH* (5) – turns the eect on and o; the LED indicator illuminates when the eect is on.
*TRUE BYPASS - When the pedal’s controls are‘o’, your signal goes directly from the input jack to the output jack
without any degradation of audio quality
5. CONNECTIONS
1/4” INPUT JACK (6) - (CONNECTS TO YOUR INSTRUMENT) As with any pedal, make sure your amp is o and the volume is
turned down before making connections.
1/4” OUTPUT JACK (7) - (CONNECTS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER)
DC IN (8) - External power supply connection (9-12V DC PSU).
STANDARD 9 V BATTERY COMPARTMENT (9) - Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two screws to access the 9 V battery
compartment on the bottom side of the pedal.
