Short guide to Locomo on FX operation
All units
●Signal goes in on the right and out on the le t
●Signal jacks must be mono only
●When the right jack is inserted the e ect is activated and consumes power
●Operation is by 9 volts battery i not speci ied otherwise
●Take care o polarity when replacing the battery or using external power supply
●Only use well iltered power supplies
●All units are non-bu ered true bypass
●All units with gain greater than 1 come with mastervolume
●All units come with white Ultra-bright indicator LED's
Kindergarten Blitzkrieg
Splits the signal into a clean channel and a octave up type uzz channel, mixes the two, then
boosts both o them. Will collapse under chords at extreme settings. Some intervals and
bending will cause ring-modulation type harmonics.
Controls:
Feed: Sets the balance between clean and uzzy
Chew: Sets the texture o the uzz element
Tone: Tone control (bass/treble interactive)
Volume: Level out
Kindergarten Panzerskräck
Boosts the signal, then splits it to get a clean channel and drive an oscillator. A sweetspot at
the top gain setting allows the oscillator to track the pitch o the signal and shi t it one octave
down, provided only one tone is played at the time. The oscillator is square wave only – keep
this in mind at extreme settings to not compromise speaker li e. The wave orm is so tened by
the tone control.
Controls:
●Feed: Sets the balance between the clean channel and the oscillator
●Grind: Sets the pre-split gain (crackles)
●Tone: Tone control (bass/treble interactive)
●Volume: Level out

Monito
This unit splits the signal into a bass booster and a high gain variable uzz, then mixes the two
together.
Controls:
●Feed: Sets the balance between the bass and uzz channel
●Spank: Sets the amount o gain or the uzz channel (crackles)
●Habitat: Adjusts the input capacitor o the uzz channel. Adjust to it your pickup and orget.
●Volume: Level out
Radiator
A high gain distortion with extended bass response. Asymmetric clipping and rich texture.
Controls:
●Drive: Sets the gain level
●Tone: Tone control (bass/treble interactive)
●Volume: Level out
Fuz Completo
A hot output, very tweakable germanium uzz with a crude noise gate. Will cause loud
oscillations and eedback unless set otherwise. Take care to use the unit on low volume while
experimenting or moving between untried settings. The controls are very interactive, and may
emphasize or cancel each other out depending on settings.
Controls:
●I: Sets the input to straight, reduced, or muted reduced
●O: Sets the eedback element to gain, clipped gain or shrill sustain
●Run: Sets the amount o gain available
●Scream: Limits available power. Maximum setting allows normal 9V conditions. (crackles)
●Hide: A crude compression. Use to open up the gain, calm excess noise or squash the signal
●Gate: An on/o type noise gate. Will stop oscillations and hizz at the cost o some output
●Volume: Level out
Everyscream
An overdrive derivative rom the TS and OD/DS series that replicates a TS-808 nicely, but
extends the architecture or increased gain and requency response with variable clipping.
Controls:
●Range: Lowers the distortion high pass ilter or increased bass response
●Gain: Increases the gain stage output by two (From 12-112 to 24 - 238)
●Symmetry: Sets the clipping diodes in symmetric or asymmetric con iguration
●Clipping: Sets clipping diodes to silicone or germanium
●Drive: Sets the gain level
●Tone: Tone control (treble subtractive)
●Volume: Level out (Pseudo-master)

Baby Tokyo
An e ective and transparent compressor based on the Armstrong circuit. Fixed attack and
sustain. Thickens bottom end, emphasizes attack and evens out dynamics.
Controls:
●Internal trimmer: Bias or the compression element. Should be le t alone.
●Range: Adjust to it incoming signal. Find the sweetspot and orget.
●Volume: Level out
Platanito
The Monito uzz channel isolated. Thick and synthy with a wide range o drive.
Controls:
●Maduro: Gain and texture (crackles)
●Frito: Level out
Schmolume
A straight clean booster.
Controls:
●Inner trim (lower right): Sets the input level. Adjust or more gain or zero distortion
●Volume: Level out
Boustier
A colouring booster with some bite.
Controls:
●Inner trim: Sets the input level. Adjust or more gain or zero distortion
●Fit: Tone control (bass/treble interactive)
●Cup: Level out
