amount of bass will generally make your tone warmer and thicker at the bottom end.

4. Deep

This adds an active resonant bass boost to your tone in a way that can’t be replicated with traditional tone controls and has a similar effect to the acclaimed JCM2000 “Deep” switch. Increasing the amount of Deep will add masses of tight bottom end to your tone giving it real low end resonance and incredible fullness.

5. DC Input

For input of a 9V DC negative regulated power supply should you not wish to use batteries.

6. LED

Indicates when the Guv’nor Plus is in operation.

7. Treble

Adjusts the high end frequencies in your tone, an increase making it brighter, sharper and more cutting.

8. Mid

Adjusts the middle frequencies in your tone. Adding more middle will fill out your sound and make it fatter. By reducing the amount of middle in your tone you will make it thinner and sharper.

Cranking the gain (item 2) up and setting the Mid control to minimum will deliver “scooped” sounds, ideal for brutal crunch tones.

9. Volume

Adjusts the volume of the Guv’nor Plus. This allows you to cut or boost your volume when you switch the pedal on and is ideal for switching from rhythmn to higher volume solo levels. The Volume levels of the Guv’nor Plus are greater than previously available on the original Guv’nor to allow you to push the front end of your amp harder for even more overdrive.

10. In Jack

This is the input jack, for connection directly from your guitar or to another effects pedal if you are linking pedals together.

11. Foot Switch

For switching the Guv’nor Plus on and off.
