User Manual

CONGRATULATIONS
On your purchase of Gristle King, part of the new Gristle Line
from T-Rex Engineering.
Like the tasty combination of chocolate and peanut butter, the Gristle
King is a combination of the DGTM and a tone-lled boost circuit. This
combination oers you a wide variety of boost and overdrive possibili-
ties.
USING YOUR GRISTLE KING

Insert a 9V alkaline battery or connect to one of the T-Rex Fuel Tank
power supplies (not included).
Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack, and run a lead from the OUTPUT
jack into your amp.

CONTROLS
Gristle
Use this control to set the amount of gain desired.
Tone
Sets the tone of the overdrive.
More
Sets the boost level.
Pre/post
This feature places the boost either before or after your overdrive. Use the
Pre setting to give you an additional boost in the level of gain. Use the
post setting to boost the volume of the signal, such as a lead boost.
Flavor
Selects between a throaty open type of overdrive (right), or a more com-
pressed type of overdrive sound (left).
Phat
With this switch toggled to the right, there is an increase in the low end of
the overdrive eect.
The Gristle and More foot switches turn on the repective eects. Each ef-
fect can be used separately or in combination.
