The Dark Mouse pedal offers two distinct distortion modes and flexible controls to tailor your sound.
ການມີສ່ວນຮ່ວມຜົນກະທົບ:
ກົດ ໂຟກັສ (9) to toggle the effect on or off. The ຕົວຊີ້ວັດ LED (8) will illuminate when the effect is active.
Selecting Distortion Modes:
ໃຊ້ ໂມດໂມດ (2) to select between the two distortion modes:
- ຄລາສຊີກ: ຜະລິດຄວາມອົບອຸ່ນ, vintage distortion sound with a subtle fuzz characteristic.
- HYPER: Offers a more powerful and aggressive sound with enhanced edges and low-end response.
Figure 4: The mode switch allows selection between Classic and Hyper distortion.
Adjusting Tone and Gain:
Utilize the three control knobs to fine-tune your distortion sound:
- LEVEL Knob (3): Adjust this to set the overall output volume of the pedal. Start with it at a moderate level and adjust to match your bypassed signal volume.
- DIST Knob (5): Turn this knob clockwise to increase the amount of distortion, from subtle crunch to heavy saturation.
- FILTER Knob (4): This control acts as a tone shaping filter. Turning it clockwise will increase the brightness and treble content of the distortion, while turning it counter-clockwise will result in a darker tone.
Figure 5: The Level, Dist, and Filter knobs provide flexible control over the effect.
True Bypass:
The pedal features true bypass circuitry. This means that when the effect is disengaged, your guitar signal passes directly through the pedal without any electronic interference, preserving your original tone. The LED indicator will be off when in true bypass mode.
Figure 6: True bypass ensures a clean signal when the effect is off.

- ການສະຫນອງພະລັງງານ: Always use a 9V DC center-negative power adapter with a minimum of 500mA current. Disconnect the power supply when the pedal is not in use for extended periods.
- ການດູແລທາງດ້ານຮ່າງກາຍ: The pedal features a durable aluminum alloy casing. Avoid dropping the pedal or subjecting it to excessive force.

- ບໍ່ມີສຽງ:
- ກວດສອບການເຊື່ອມຕໍ່ສາຍໄຟທັງຫມົດ (guitar to input, output to amp).
- Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and providing power.
- ກວດສອບວ່າ guitar ຂອງທ່ານແລະ ampເຄື່ອງໃຊ້ໄຟຟ້າເຮັດວຽກຢ່າງຖືກຕ້ອງ.
- If the LED is off, press the footswitch to engage the effect.
- Weak or Distorted Sound (when bypassed):
- This pedal features true bypass, so a weak or distorted bypassed signal usually indicates an issue with cables or other equipment in your signal chain, not the pedal itself.
- ສິ່ງລົບກວນທີ່ບໍ່ຕ້ອງການ / Hum:
- Ensure you are using a regulated 9V DC center-negative power supply. Unregulated power supplies can introduce noise.
- ກວດສອບສໍາລັບສາຍໄຟຜິດພາດ.
- Move the pedal away from power transformers or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
