Active Bass and Mids controls join a Treble control that works like the one on the original circuit. Together they let the pedal suit brighter or darker amps. The Normal/Hot toggle adds extra gain at higher settings.

Uses range from a clean boost into a driven amp to a standalone overdrive or an always-on tone shaper. Placed before another drive pedal, it works as a pre-gain boost that thickens the sound.

A side-mounted switch selects the internal buffer or true bypass. True bypass leaves the signal path untouched when the pedal is off. Jacks sit on the top edge to save board space.
