King's Trip
2 in 1 Overdrive-Distortion
USER´S
MANUAL
The King’s Trip is almost like a Swiss army knife between the overdrive - distortion pedals. It’s a combination
of two pedals in one product. Each section can be switched to a BOOST, OVERDRIVE and DISTORTION. This
feature makes the King’s Trip a very versatile pedal. It’s especially searched by musicians which appreciate
a combination of sound variationsand also asimplicity of needing only “one” pedal. Additionally,thanks
to carefully tuned frequency ranges, this pedal works great with sharper / brighter sounding Fender-type
amps, as well as with darker / rounder types like Marshall or Vox. The King’s Trip is inspired by the legendary
and highly valued pedal King of Tone from AnalogMan.
The pedal is made from carefully selected quality components and has aTrue-Bypass. All LeeHooker pedals
are hand-made custom shop boutique eects as all of our models. Leehooker is purely a Czech production.
FUNCTION OF THE FOOT SWITCHES
Each section is controlled separately by two foot switches ON / OFF. Each switch has it´s own LED indicator
with red or yellow colors. Both channels are identical with only the dierence that the side with the red
LED indicator has a slightly higher compression. The Foot switches enable to combine each side, either as
a single preset pedal, or with a combination of both series. The foot switch is connected as TRUE-BYPASS.
CONTROLS
On each side of the pedal you can nd three basic controls: Drive,Tone and a Volume.The DRIVE determines
the level of distortion. The TONE is used to add or trim the higher frequencies and the VOLUME is used to
adjust the overall volume of the selected pedal.
THREE MODES OF GAIN
Both sides on the pedal can be set to one of the three modes: BOOST, OVERDRIVE and DISTORTION.
Modes can set by two DIP switches located inside of the pedal (opening of the pedal required).

SETTING EXAMPLE:
After turning the pedal on, the “yellow” side will
work as a distortion and the “red” one will work as
an overdrive. Using both simultaneously, it´ll give
an impression of an overdrive + distortion.
The pedal comes in a basic setting on both sides as
OVERDRIVE. Both DIP switches are in the position:
Turning on both of the foot switches at the same
time, the “red” side is always lined up in the signal
chain as the rst one and the “yellow” one is
second. That means: the signal from the guitar
(IN) > red side > yellow side > (OUT) output to the
system.
INNER TRIMMERS
Beside the DIP switch, you can also nd two small
adjustable TRIMMERS. By adjusting the TRIMMERS
(using a small screwdriver) to one side or the
other you can correct the resulting sound so that
it matches more with the characterization of your
guitar transmitters (adds or reduces bass / treble).
Both TRIMMER channels are set on center and can
be adjusted.

POWER SUPPLY
A 9 Volt battery or external power. When using an
external power supply, the battery is automatically
disconnected. WARNING: If the jack is plugged in,
the battery is permanently connected.
With these possibilities the King’s Trip can be set to dierent modes: a) OD > BOOST or DIST > BOOST,
where the second“yellow”side is used to boost the volume for soloing and so on, b) BOOST > OD or BOOST
> DIST, where the attached booster has a function as“a feeder”which increases the amount of distortion on
the“yellow” side, c) OD> OD allows you to use two dierent sets of overdrive separately, or simultaneously
with a result of a fatter distortion.
