Operation Modes
Redtruck has two different operation modes. LIVE MODE and PRESET MODE
To change operation mode, simultaneously press and release TAP + Footswitch 1
Live Mode
In this mode Redtruck operates like a traditional pedalboard. Each footswitch will
switch it’s respective effects module on and off.
Preset Mode
In this mode Redtruck operates like a pedalboard loop switcher. Each footswitch
will recall a preset combination of which effect modules are on/off.
1.Ensure Redtruck is in LIVE MODE
2.Activate the effect modules you want to use in your preset
3.Press and hold the corresponding footswitch where you wish to save the preset
for use in Preset mode
4.The Footswitch light will flash 5 times to confirm that the preset has been saved
to this footswitch
5.After you have saved your presets, put the Redtruck into PRESET MODE and
press any footswitch from 1-5 to recall it’s preset.
The DISPLAY SCREEN will display <P> when in Preset Mode
To create a preset:
Note: Effect parameters can not be stored to the presets. Only the on/off state of each effect module will be stored.
The DISPLAY SCREEN will display <L> when in Live Mode

Effect Modules
Red truck has 6 stompbox style effect modules and a built in precision tuner.
1.PURE BOOST: Based on one of MOOER’s most popular and useful micro
pedals. The Pure boost is an analog circuit which can provide up to +20 Db
of clean boost with a natural and dynamic response to the touch.
ON/OFF: Switches the boost effect on and off
BOOST: Adjusts the over all amount of boost
BASS: Adjusts the low frequencies ±15db
TREBLE: Adjusts the high frequencies ±15db
2.DRIVE: Based on the MOOER RUMBLE DRIVE, the DRIVE module of
Red truck is a warm and natural analog overdrive circuit. At higher gain
it can emulate a vintage amplifier being pushed into breakup. At lower gain
settings settings it is perfect for pushing the DIST module for solos or as a
warm boost for the guitar.
VOLUME: Adjusts the output level
GAIN: Adjusts the amount of overdrive
TONE: Adjusts the EQ. Clockwise is brighter, Counter clockwise is darker
3.DIST: A classic British style amplifier distortion with full tone stack,
independent gain and level controls. The gain ranges from a slight crunchy
breakup to a full and harmonically rich high gain saturation.
TREBLE: Adjusts the high frequencies
MID: Adjusts the middle frequencies
BASS: Adjusts the low frequencies
LEVEL: Adjusts the overall output level
MID-BOOST: Boosts and scoops the middle frequencies
GAIN: Adjusts the amount of distortion

4.MOD: A digital multi-modulation unit which brings together tremolo, phaser,
chorus and flanger.
TUNER: Red Truck has an accurate built-in guitar tuner. Hold down the
TAP foot switch to mute your output and activate the tuner. Press the TAP
foot switch once to exit the tuner and un-mute your output.
LEVEL: Adjusts the modulation effect mix
RATE: Adjusts the modulation effects speed
DEPTH: Adjusts the modulation intensity
Toggle switch: Selects the modulation effect type
Rythm Knob: Adjusts the speed of the modulation effect in relation to the tap
tempo. (X = random 7s pattern)
5.DELAY: A digital delay unit with 3 different kinds of delay. DIGITAL resembles
the crystal clear delay racks of the 80’s. ECHO resembles the magnetic drum
delays of the 60’s. ANALOG resembles a classic BB style delay stompbox.
LEVEL: Adjusts the volume of the delays repeats
TIME: Adjusts the delay time
FEEDBACK: Adjusts the number of repeats
Toggle switch: Selects the delay type
Sub-division knob: Adjusts the delay time in relation to the tap tempo
LEVEL: Adjusts the wet/dry mix of the reverb
DECAY: Adjusts the length of the reverb
TONE: Adjusts the EQ of the reverb
SHIMMER: Adds a high pitched shimmering harmony to the reverb.
When fully counter-clockwise the shimmer effect will be off. Rotating this
control clock-wisewill gradually add shimmer to your reverb.
MOD DEPTH: Rotate clockwise to add modulation to your reverb and adjust
the reverb modulation’s depth. When this control is fully counter-clockwise
the reverb will not have any modulation
MOD RATE: Adjusts the speed of reverb modulation effect
6.REVERB: A true stereo digital reverb unit

Tap Tempo
TAP: Press and release this foot switch several times to create a Tap Tempo.
Tap tempo can control both the delay time and modulation rate simultaneously or
either of these two effect modules independently. The light surrounding the TAP
foot switch will illuminate a different colour to indicate what it is controlling. You
can change the tap tempo function by pressing a combination of two foot
switches simultaneously. See below.
DELAY + MOD = Purple (press foot switches 3 + 4)
DELAY only = Blue (press foot switches 1 + 2)
MOD only = Red (press foot switches 2 + 3)
By default the tap tempo will control both the delay time and the modulation rate
simultaneously. The TAP foot switch light will illuminate purple to indicate this.
USING THE FX LOOP
Redtruck comes equipped with an integrated, transparent, buffered effects loop.
This sits between the DIST and MOD modules in the internal signal chain. The FX
LOOP can be used in many different ways, making the Redtruck a true “swiss army
knife” of a pedal. Here’s a few of our favourites…..
INPUT BOOST DRIVE DIST
SEND
FXLOOP
RETURN
MOD DELAY REVER OUTPUT
SEND: Can also be considered as DIST output
RETURN: Can also be considered as MOD input

-Add your favourite pedal or preamp to the chain -
This is an easy way to add an extra pedal into the Redtruck signal chain, right in-
between your DIST and MOD.
Connect SEND to the input of your favourite pedal. Connect the output of the pedal
to the RETURN of Redtruck.
We like to use this with our Micro Preamp pedals for the ultimate in portable rigs.
If your amplifier has it’s own effects loop you can connect the Redtruck using the
“4 cable method” which will put the drive modules in front of your amplifiers input
and the modulation, delay and reverb modules into your amplifiers effects loop.
Connect your guitar to the input of your red truck
Connect SEND of the Redtruck to your amplifiers input
Connect your amplifiers “effects send” to the Redtruck RETURN
Connect the OUTPUT of Redtruck to the “effects return”of your amplifier

- WET DRY SETUP -
This is an easy way to setup Redtruck with 2 amplifiers. One amplifier with just the
drive signal. The other amplifier with drive signal, modulation, delay and reverb
effects. This is a very popular setup method used by professional guitarists to
maintain astonishingly clear and articulate tones while still having beautiful
atmospheric effects for live shows. To accomplish this setup you will also require
an ABY box. We recommend the MOOER ABY mkII
If you have a 3rd amplifier you can use both stereo outputs of Redtruck to make a
WET DRY WET setup taking full advantage of a big, wet, true stereo reverb, whilst
maintaining an awesome clear guitar tone.
Connect your guitar to the input of Redtruck
Connect SEND of the Redtruck to the input of your ABY box
Connect one output of the ABY box to the input of AMP Dry
Connect the other output of the ABY box to the RETURN of Red truck
Connect the OUTPUT of Redtruck to the input of AMP Wet L(see diagram)
