Mountainking Electronics MEGALITH User manual

All Mountainking Electronics devices are built with high quality parts and components to help ensure years of reliable
heaviness.
This device can be powered by a 9V battery or a standard 9VDC (center negative) power supply. If you choose to use a
battery to power the pedal remember to unplug the instrument/guitar cable from the input jack when not in use to help
conserve battery life. If you choose to use a power supply, be sure that it is of high quality and is filtered to avoid introducing
hum and noise to your signal chain.

INPUT: This controls the strength of the signal going into the
pedal. Turning the knob to the right pushes the circuit into
increasing degrees of clipping. It also has an effect output
level.
MORE HEAVY (knob/foot switch): When the MORE HEAVY
footswitch is engaged a booster stage is added to the output
of the circuit. Turning the MORE HEAVY knob to the right
raises the gain of the booster, which increases the overall
output, adds low end and intensifies the clipping.
SLOPE: This allows you to adjust the high/low frequency
balance. Turning the knob to the left gradually cuts highs while
adding lows.
.
NOTCH: This cuts midrange as you turn the knob to the left.
NOTCH SHIFT: This changes the cut-off frequency of the
NOTCH CONTROL. Its effect is most noticeable when the
NOTCH control is turned to the left and will have very little if
any, effect when the NOTCH control is turned all the way to
the right. NOTE: When switching from one position to another
you may notice a slight popping sound. This is normal.
The SLOPE, NOTCH and NOTCH SHIFT controls are very
interactive with one another and adjust the parameters of the
filter section, which shapes the tone of the pedal.
OUTPUT: This is the master volume control.

INTERNAL DIP SWITCHES
MEGALITH
ON
1 2 3 4
1. Engages a clipping diode. Increases distortion and compression. Precedes the
tone control section. Effects the negative going part of the waveform. NOTE: Stock
DIP switch setting when in the ON position.
2. Engages a positive going clipping diode which compresses the distortion even
more than DIP switch 1 and effects the frequency content.
3. Boosts low end and signal strength going into the clipping diode section.Very
interactive with DIP 1 and DIP 2.
4. Boosts the mid range within the tone stack.
NOTE: ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE MEGALITH INCLUDING THE INTER-
NAL DIP SWITCHES ARE DESIGNED TO INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. THE
INTENSITY OF THE EFFECT OF THESE SWITCHES IS GREATLY INFLUENCED
BY HOW YOU SET THE EXTERNAL CONTROLS OF THE MEGALITH. TAKE
TIME TO EXPERIMENT TO FIND YOUR OWN HEAVIOSIFIED SOUND.
