Gain control
The gain control adjusts the amount of input signal that is fed to the GERMANIUM OD. The more the knob is rotated the harder the Germanium transistor and drive components are hit.

Bias control
Bias control adjusts the current gain that is sent to the Germanium transistor. It works together with the voltage control to attain the over all tone. The bias control works specifically with the Germanium transistor.

Volts control
Volts control allows the user to control the amount of voltage that is applied to the Germanium OD. When the knob is set at full, 9volts is applied. When set at minimum 3 volts of current is applied By limiting the volts applied to the pedal a number of interesting saturations can be set up for variations in tone.

Status LED
When the LED is lit; the Germanium OD effect is active. When the LED is off, the Germanium OD is in True Bypass Mode. The footswitch engages/disengages the effect.
