Thanks for purchasing the Full Moon Distortion —
a high gain distortion pedal with flexible tone
shaping capabilities. Engineered to deliver heavy
distortion without losing clarity, the Full Moon is
equipped with a four-band EQ to help match this
pedal to any guitar/amp combination. The
Texture and Bite Switches offer additional tools to
tweak your sound. The Full Moon also offers a
boost that can increase the overall volume.
Between the EQ section, toggles, and boost, this
distortion pedal is capable of adding snarl to
chugging rhythms or creating soaring single-note
leads.

DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.

Level
This control adjusts overall volume level.
Hi-Treble
A useful control for smoothing out high gain. It softens the upper
frequencies and works to blend in the right amount of sizzle.
Treble
This controls the pedal’s high-frequency response. Dial it in to keep
the top end of your notes clear and defined.
Middle
This controls the pedal’s midrange response. A versatile control useful
in all distortion settings.
Bass
This controls the pedal’s low-frequency response. Use this to fatten up
thinner-sounding guitars, or roll it back to clear up guitars with too
much bottom end.
Boost
This control adjusts the amount of volume added when the Boost is
engaged.
Boost LED
This LED shows when the Boost is engaged.
Gain
This control adjusts the amount of distortion or saturation.
Texture Switch
This toggles between asymmetrical and symmetrical clipping.
Bite Switch
This switch adds extra gain at upper frequencies, reducing potentially
boomy low end and lets your instrument cut through the mix.

Jewel Indicator
The Jewel Indicator shows when the distortion effect is active
Bypass Footswitch
This rugged footswitch bypasses the effect.
Boost Footswitch
This switch provides extra output level set by the Boost control.
Input Jack
This is a high-impedance input suitable for electric guitar, bass,
keyboards and other instruments.
Output Jack
This is a low-impedance output jack that connects to the amp or to
the next effect pedal in the signal chain.
DC Power Connector
This is a standard center-negative 9VDC jack for use with
appropriate power supplies.
LED Kill Switch
This switch extinguishes the LEDs that illuminate the control
knobs—useful in maximizing battery life when running the pedal from
batteries.
Low Battery Indicator
This red LED on the front of the battery door illuminates when battery
voltage drops below a set threshold, indicating that the battery
should be replaced soon.
