This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation. If the device is not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio
communications and void the user's authority to guarantee the equipment.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.
GERMANIUM OD
Vintage Overdrive
The Electro-Harmonix GERMANIUM OD is a classic 1960’s overdrive based around a hand
selected germanium transistor. To get the best results from it please set aside some time to
practice in a quiet room…just you, your amp, and the Germaium OD. The interaction of each
control will reward you with many different flavors of exceptional vintage overdrive.
-CONTROLS-
GAIN CONTROL –
Adjusts the amount of input signal that is fed to the GERMANIUM OD. The
more the knob is rotated the harder the Germanium transistor and drive components are hit.
BIAS CONTROL –
Adjusts the current gain that is sent to the Germanium transistor. It works
together with the voltage control to attain the over all tone. The bias control works specifically with
the Germanium transistor.
VOLTS CONTROL –
Allows the user to control the amount of voltage that is applied to the
GERMANIUM OD. When the knob is set at full, 9volts is applied. When set at minimum 3 volts of
current is applied By limiting the volts applied to the pedal a number of interesting saturations can be
set up for variations in tone.
STATUS LED –
When the LED is lit; the GERMANIUM OD effect is active. When the LED is off,
the Germanium OD is in True Bypass Mode. The footswitch engages/disengages the effect.
INPUT Jack –
Connect your instrument to the input jack. The input impedance presented at the input
jack is high.
OUTPUT Jack –
Connect this jack to your amplifier. This is the GERMANIUM OD output. This
jack is connected directly to the Input Jack.
