DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.
Thanks for purchasing The Pelt — a flexible fuzz pedal with
a wide range of saturated sounds. Driven by silicon
transistors, this pedal ranges from full on wall of fuzz to
smooth, harmonically rich drive. Midrange boost and
thickness toggles work to help find the perfect textures for
your sound.
THE PELT

Level
This control adjusts your output level when the fuzz is engaged.
Tone
This controls the high frequencies present in your signal. Use it like a
tone control on your guitar or bass--keep it all the way up for the full
frequency range of your instrument or roll it back to mellow out the
treble.
Bloom
This controls the attack of the fuzz effect. As the control sweeps from
Soft to Hard, the fuzz signal changes from smoother, violin like attack
to abrupt and splattered saturation.
Fuzz
This controls the pedal’s fuzz level. Add more saturation by rotating
the control clockwise.
Thick Switch
This switch allows more of your bass frequencies through the circuit to
fatten up your fuzz tone.
Mid Switch
This three-position switch shapes your instrument’s midrange by
boosting or cutting mids to contour your punch and presence. Leave
the switch in the middle position to keep your midrange unaffected.
Jewel Indicator
The Jewel Indicator shows when the fuzz effect is active.
Footswitch
This rugged footswitch bypasses the fuzz.

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 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.
