The D2G ‘G-Drive’ is a genuine analog distortion unit equipped with two sets of

6-band graphic equalizers - one at its input and the other at its output. By

changing the settings of these equalizers, you can obtain a huge range of

distortion effects from light crunchy sounds and creamy vintage fuzz to extreme,

screaming heavy metal distortion plus a spectrum of effects not available on

conventional distortion units. And all in one rugged, retro-styled pedal!

Furthermore, by matching the sliders to the letters around the sliders that

represent the initials of the six ‘presets’, it is possible to reproduce certain

classic distortion and fuzz sounds quickly and easily.

When used with a bass guitar, the G-Drive’s extensive EQ allows you to sculpt

a variety of thick and weighty bass distortion and fuzz effects not possible on

conventional distortion pedals.

Also, the G-Drive’s ‘true’ bypass system completely switches out the internal

circuitry via a special relay ensuring that your original signal comes out clean

and without any coloration of its tonal quality when the effect is bypassed.

English

OUTPUT

This connects to your amp or to the input of another effect unit.

DC IN

Plug the MP-9 9-volt AC adaptor in here (sold separately).

NOTE: The use of an AC adaptor is highly recommended if you plan

using the G-Drive for prolonged periods of time.

INPUT

Plug your guitar or bass in here.

NOTE: This unit does not have a power switch. The unit is turned on

while the plug is connected to the INPUT jack even when the effect

is bypassed.

When being used with a battery, to prevent unnecessary battery

consumption, you should unplug your guitar/bass from the INPUT

jack when not in use.

ON Indicator

This illuminates when the effect is switched on.

OUTPUT control

This sets the overall output level of the effect.

DRIVE control

This sets the overall depth of the distortion.

COLOR sliders

These set the characteristic of the output equalizer and so control the

overall tonal quality of the effect. Setting the EQ is easy since the slider

positions represent the EQ curve graphically.

CHARACTER sliders

These set the characteristic of input equalizer and so control the tonal

character of distortion sound. For example, raising the mid-frequency

range while keeping the low and high frequency ranges low produces a

contemporary distortion sound whilst raising the low frequency range a

bit simulates a vintage fuzz sound.

FOOTSWITCH

Switches the effect on and off. When the effect is switched off, the input

signal comes out clean without any coloration as the ‘true’ bypass system

ensures that the input signal is not routed through the internal effect circuit.

NOTE: The battery case is located at the bottom.

English

OPERATION

1. Connect the OUTPUT jack to your amp or the input of another effect unit.

2. Connect your guitar or bass (or the output of another effects pedal) to the

INPUT jack.

3. Turn your system on.

4. Press the footswitch to switch the effect on (the ON LED will illuminate).

5. While playing your guitar or bass, adjust the output level with the OUTPUT

control.

• The DRIVE control sets the overall depth of the distortion.

• The CHARACTER sliders set the characteristic of the distortion sound.

• The COLOR sliders set the overall tonal quality.

For your convenience and ease of setting, there are position markings

on the front panel alongside each slider that allow you to recreate the

following classic distortion sounds:

FUSION SOLO / RADIO / WILD FUZZ / DS METAL / MODERN BLUES /

CRUNCH

You can use these settings as a guide to recreate certain distortion

sounds by matching the sliders to the letters around them corresponding

to the initials of the ‘presets’. For example, matching all the sliders to ‘F’

will create the “Fusion Solo” preset.

NOTE: When the control and sliders are set too high, it may oscillate.

In such a case, lower the settings slightly.
