3.1. Level Knob
Controls the overall output volume of the pedal. Adjust this to achieve unity gain (output volume matches bypass volume) or to boost your signal.
3.2. Tone Knob
Adjusts the treble content of the distorted signal. Turning it clockwise increases brightness, while turning it counter-clockwise reduces treble for a warmer sound.
3.3. Distortion Knob
Determines the amount of gain and saturation applied to your signal. Rotate clockwise for more aggressive distortion and counter-clockwise for lighter overdrive or crunch tones.
3.4. Clipping Toggle Switch
This three-position toggle switch selects between different clipping diode configurations, altering the pedal's compression and overall feel:
- Левая пазіцыя: Provides a moderate amount of compression.
- Сярэдняя пазіцыя: Offers a wide-open, uncompressed signal, resulting in a more raw and dynamic distortion.
- Правільная пазіцыя: Delivers a higher amount of compression, leading to a more saturated and sustained tone.
3.5. Bypass Footswitch
Engages or disengages the distortion effect. When engaged, the LED indicator will illuminate.
4. Настройка
- Падключэнне сілкавання: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (center-negative) to the power input jack on the pedal. The Iron Horse V2 requires a minimum of 10mA.
- Уваходнае злучэнне: Connect your guitar or other instrument to the INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal.
- Выходнае злучэнне: Падключыце раз'ём OUTPUT з левага боку педалі да вашага ampвыратавальнік або наступная педаль у вашым сігнальным ланцугу.

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне
- Уборка: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's enclosure. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- крыніца харчавання: Always use a regulated 9V DC, center-negative power supply. Incorrect power can damage the unit and void the warranty.
- захоўванне: Захоўвайце педаль у прахалодным, сухім месцы, удалечыні ад прамых сонечных прамянёў і экстрэмальных тэмператур, калі яна не выкарыстоўваецца.
- Сувязі: Ensure all cables are securely connected to prevent signal loss or intermittent operation.
7. Выпраўленне непаладак
- Няма гуку:
- Check all cable connections (guitar to input, output to amp).

- Ensure the pedal is engaged (LED illuminated).
- Слабы або перарывісты сігнал:
- Праверце кабелі на наяўнасць пашкоджанняў.
- Пацвердзіце аб'ём сілкаванняtage and current are adequate (9V DC, at least 10mA).
- Clean input/output jacks if corrosion is visible.
- Непажаданы шум/гудзенне:
- Ensure you are using a high-quality, isolated power supply.
- Праверце наяўнасць зазямляльных контураў у сігнальным ланцугу.
- Move the pedal away from power transformers or other sources of electromagnetic interference.
