Overdrive

CONGRATULATIONS
on your purchase of ToneBug Overdrive, part of a brand new series
of great-sounding, pared-down pedals from T-Rex Engineering.
ToneBug Overdrive puts the blues in your shoes – or under them,
when you kick this sweet stomp box into gear. It gives you just the
controls you need to dene your very own classic overdrive sound.
And it delivers loads of incredible warm tone that you’ll nd in a
T-Rex pedal.
Using your ToneBug Overdrive is easy and intuitive. Just turn the
page to get started.

READY, SET, GO!
Using your ToneBug Overdrive
Insert a 9 Volt alkaline battery or connect the pedal to one of the
T-Rex FuelTank power supplies (not included).
This pedal accepts both 9 and 12 Volt DC (see technical specs).
Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack, and run a lead from the OUT-
PUT jack into your amp.
Adjust the GAIN, TONE and LEVEL settings until you’ve found the
sound you’re looking for. And that’s it!
Note: GAIN adjusts the amount of overdrive, or degree of“dirt”.
TONE determines the “brightness”of your gain. LEVEL adjusts the
overall output level sent to your amplier.
