Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Rampage™distortion
pedal! The Rampage™is designed to provide ultra-high gain distortion
with very little noise.
Along with Bass, Treble, Sustain and Output level controls, the
Rampage also provides a special "Scoop" control which allows you to cut
the mids by up to 30dB.
The Rampage is housed in an ultra-rugged chassis with slightly recessed
controls to protect against any accidental bumps which might alter your
settings.
