  2. Èrè Títúnṣe: Start with the GAIN knob at a low setting. Slowly turn it clockwise to increase the amount of distortion, from a subtle crunch to heavy saturation.
  3. Adjusting Tone: Use the TONE knob to shape the frequency response of the distorted sound. Turn it counter-clockwise for a warmer, darker tone, and clockwise for a brighter, more cutting sound.
  4. Adjusting Level: The LEVEL knob controls the overall output volume of the pedal when the effect is engaged. Adjust it to match the volume of your bypassed signal or to boost your sound for solos.
  5. Idanwo: The interaction between GAIN, TONE, and LEVEL allows for a wide variety of distortion sounds. Experiment with different settings to find your desired tone.
