In Blues Mode all controls are operational and the Bluesbreaker II will give your guitar a wonderfully creamy, natural sounding bluesy overdrive. This mode is great when using a clean amp but can also be used with an amp that is already distorting for extra Marshall mayhem.

3. Drive

This increases the amount of distortion, taking you from vintage breakup, ideal for big crunchy chords and sweet singing blues, to full on overdrive.

N.B. This control is only operational when on Blues mode.

4. DC Input

For input of a 9V DC adaptor should you not wish to use batteries.

5. LED

Indicates when the Bluesbreaker II is in operation.

6. Tone

The Bluesbreaker II features pre-set bass and mid controls, for optimum response. This Tone control effects the treble region of your tone adding brightness and cut.

N.B. This control is only operational when on Blues mode.

7. Volume

Controls the volume of the pedal.

When in Boost mode this governs the level of the signal driving into the amplifier. The more the level is increased the more you will push the amp into distortion.

When in Blues mode this control allows you to set a different volume level for solos etc.

8. In Jack Socket

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

9. Foot Switch

For switching the Bluesbreaker II on and off.
