Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Faustus EF103 Guitar Disruptor!
The EF103 Guitar Disruptor is a hybrid overdrive/octave/oscillation pedal. Sit back as your guitar signal is massaged
and manipulated by copious amounts of digital mayhem.
- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ?
1. Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack
2. Connect your amplifier to the OUTPUT jack
3. Connect your Power Supply to the power supply jack. The EF103 will work using a standard ‘Boss’ style power supply
(not included). This is a 9V, center negative, regulated power supply. The EF103 can also run off a 9V battery.
4. To turn the unit on, simply press down on the BYPASS foot-switch. When activated, the center LED will light up.
Pressing the BYPASS switch again will turn of the unit. When off, your guitar tone will completely bypass the circuitry for
a clean sound. The EF103 is True Bypass
5. The 0/2 switch controls the level of frequency division. Set to 0, the EF103 does not divide at all. You will just hear the
guitar not at its original pitch. Set to 2, the guitar frequency will be divided by two. All the notes you play will be brought
down 1 octave. This will produce a considerably lower sound. If used on a bass, this could lower the frequency so much
all you’ll hear is clicking! Hey, we called it a Guitar Disruptor.
6. The FLUX knob controls the amount of oscillation that gets injected into the signal. Turned fully counter-clockwise,
there will be very little oscillation. Turned fully clockwise, it will be 100% oscillation.
7. EXP. Plug an expression pedal into the EXP jack with the Flux Control turned fully counter-clockwise. Moving the
pedal up and down will simulate sweeping the Flux control. This produces an oscillating wah effect which is very cool.
A few tips.
- Because the Disruptor adds so many under/over tones, playing chords can sound a bit messy. Try playing single note
riff first.
- Adjusting your guitar’s tone knob can have a profound effect on the Disruptor. Dialing down the tone knob all the way
will bring out the octave down sound.
