User manual DOD FX91

[. . . ] WHAT THE FX91 DOES CONTROLS LEVEL: Controls the volume of the pedal output. Turn it up for loud, obnoxious in-your-gut bass or turn it down for practice. BLEND: Mixes the original sound with the distortion's postEQ sound. [. . . ] When you set up the effect, use the LEVEL control to match the distortion effect level with the level of the original input signal. The control should be set so that there is a slight increase in level when the effect is switched into the signal path. Turn the knob clockwise to add more of that nice "scratchy" tone, or just to annoy the ones you love. This adds more "edge" to the sound. The FX91 Bass Overdrive is a distortion box designed for bass guitar that allows you to mix distorted bass with your original sound. It gives you thunderous low-end power while retaining the punch you need to cut through even loudest band. You could use a normal guitar distortion box, but not only do they not have the bottomend punch you need, but they'll even roll off the low end, giving it a whimpy "squished" sound. On the following pages, some examples of different types of sounds are shown, along with graphics representations of how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) bass guitar sounds are subjective matter, use these examples as starting points to create sounds that meet your specific tastes (or lack thereof). The FX91 however, is sure to fulfill almost any need. You can make it sound flubby and big, make it sneer like death metal, or add just a touch of distortion for extra bite.
