The DCX BOOST is a tone-shaper and drive,
inspired by the UA 610 studio preamp.
1. GET CONNECTED
INSTR - Plug in your guitar or other instrument.
AMP - Connect to your amp or modeller.
9VDC - Insert 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative
power supply (minimum 90mA).
2. MATCH THE CONTROLS
Match the pedal's controls to the image shown.
3. SELECT YOUR MODE
EQ MODE - This is the lower gain setting,
featuring our Adaptive Circuitry (see: VOICE
SWITCH). This ranges from clean boost to subtle
overdrive, with a very fl at and neutral frequency
response.
OD MODE - This is the higher gain setting, with
a tighter low end response. This setting ranges
from classic overdrive to fuzz-like, cranked vintage
console tones.
4. BALANCE THE DRIVE AND LEVEL
DRIVE - Turn clockwise to increase the amount
of overdrive. For clean boosts in EQ mode, keep
this control set low. Higher settings will result in
vintage sounding saturation, all the way to fuzz-
like tones in OD mode.

LEVEL - Sets the output level from the pedal.
Turn clockwise to push the input of your amp.
Keep this control set lower if you want to get all
your overdrive from the pedal.
5. TWEAK YOUR EQ
DCX BOOST's LF and HF controls are opti-
mised for electric guitar and possess the rare
ability to deliver powerful EQ shaping, without
sacrifi cing low-end clarity or overemphasising
upper harmonics.
L.F. - This cuts low frequencies when turned
counterclockwise, boosts when turned clockwise.
Completely fl at in the noon position.
H.F. - This cuts high frequencies when turned
counterclockwise, boosts when turned clockwise.
Completely fl at in the noon position.
6. VOICE SWITCH
The VOICE switch selects between three treble
roll-o levels: FLAT, MED, DRK.
In EQ MODE, the pedal's Adaptive Circuitry
increases this roll-o as the pedal begins to break
up. The VOICE settings are subtle when playing
quietly but become more audible as the pedal is
pushed harder. This allows a smooth transition
from bright cleans to warmer overdrive tones
when playing dynamically or cleaning up from the
volume knob.
In OD MODE, the adaptive behaviour is disabled.
The VOICE switch is always active and does not
vary with overdrive.
