  • Дууны эзлэхүүн: Эффектийн нийт гаралтын түвшинг хянадаг.
  • TONE товчлуур: Shapes the tonal character of the fuzz, from dark and thick to bright and cutting.
  • FUZZ товчлуур: Adjusts the intensity and saturation of the fuzz effect.
  • SUB OCTAVE Knob: Controls the output level of the sub-octave signal. Turn clockwise for more sub-octave.
  • OCTAVE Switch: Toggles the fuzz signal into an electrifying octave-up mode when engaged.
  • SERIES Switch: Selects the routing of the sub-octave signal. In Series mode, the sub-octave signal runs directly into the fuzz circuit for subterranean saturation. In Parallel mode, the sub-octave signal runs alongside the fuzz for a split-channel effect.
  • ХӨЛСӨГЧ: Engages or bypasses the effect. The pedal features true bypass switching, ensuring your dry signal remains unaffected when the pedal is off.

4. Sound Exploration & Usage Tips

The MXR Sub Machine Fuzz offers a wide tonal palette. Experiment with the controls to discover your preferred sounds:

  • Винtage Fuzz: Start with the SUB OCTAVE knob fully counter-clockwise (off) and adjust FUZZ and TONE to dial in classic fuzz tones. Engage the OCTAVE switch for searing octave-up fuzz.
  • Subterranean Saturation: Engage the SERIES switch and gradually increase the SUB OCTAVE knob. This routes the sub-octave directly into the fuzz, creating a thick, heavy, and saturated sound.
  • Split Channel Effect: Disengage the SERIES switch and blend the SUB OCTAVE with your fuzz tone. This creates a distinct, layered sound where the sub-octave retains more clarity alongside the fuzz.
  • Sub-Octave Only: Turn the FUZZ knob fully counter-clockwise (off) and adjust the SUB OCTAVE knob for a clean sub-octave effect.

5. Засвар үйлчилгээ

  • Зай солих: If using a 9-volt battery, replace it when the LED indicator dims or the sound quality degrades. To replace, remove the four screws from the bottom plate of the pedal. Carefully lift the plate and disconnect the old battery. Connect a new 9-volt battery, ensuring correct polarity, and reattach the bottom plate.
  • Хадгалах: Ашиглаагүй үедээ дөрөөг сэрүүн, хуурай газар, нарны шууд тусгал болон хэт өндөр температураас хол хадгална уу.
