overview
The Miss Dirty is a particular effect combining a saturation stage and a
bass octave effect giving a dirty sound. The grain of the saturation is
unique and reminds its synthetic moog.
It has a volume control, an adjustment of the amount of octave
and a drive It has a volume control, an adjustment of the amount of
octave and a setting drive.
Like all Labo ★K Effects pedals, the Miss Dirty is True By Pass. It
means that when the effect is not active, the device is completely disconnected
from the path of the signal and thus adds none résistive load in this one (The
accumulation of résistives loads on the path of the signal eventually decreases
the power and the brightness of the sound)

power-link system
The Power-Link system of Labo ★K Effects allows an external power
supply to power several Labo ★K Effects pedals via the cable supplied
with each pedal by creating a daisy chain.
Using the Power-Link system of Labo ★K Effects it is even possible to
power a Labo ★K Effects pedal (or any other pedal using tne same
power standard) with the internal battery of a Labo ★K Effects pedal.
The amperage of the power supply used must be higher than the total
consumption of pedals you want to feed simultaneously.
To respect the sense of connection, the Power-Link system uses 2
different connectors.
Lumberg connector J21 for the input.
Lumberg connector J25 for the output.
