Mosky BROWN Distortion Dual Toggle with Boost Option Hand-Wired

Vintage/Modern Switch

This control essentially sets the overall voicing of the pedal’s frequencies, to be either darker with a classic tonality or brighter and more modern if you’d prefer that. Setting this up first will give you a good ‘starting point’ for your tone, but it’s also useful if you’ve adjusted everything else and feel the overall tone needs to shift in a larger direction.

Contour

This adjusts the frequency emphasis overall. It interacts substantially with the Tone knob, and is affected by the Vint./Modern switch as well. At noon, this knob gives you a balances presentation of the overall frequencies; counterclockwise it becomes very midrange – forward, and clockwise it takes the mids out pretty heavily, contouring the sound for a very ‘scooped’ tone. A little adjustment goes a long way with this control. The best approach would be to start with the Contour knob at noon, and adjust from there. Of course, making such broad tonal changes, you’re going to want to adjust the Tone control in conjunction with the Contour knob

This control adjusts the output level of the BROWN. There’s plenty of volume on tap in either standard or Boost mode, so whether you want to go farther than you input level or just make sure it can do unity volume (the same level of signal going out as you feed it, when active), you’re covered. The Gain, Tone and Contour knobs, and the Boost Toggle (or for Pinnacle Deluxe owners, footswitch) all have an impact on total output volume level, so you’re probably better off waiting to adjust the Volume until you’ve dialed in the other controls. Re-adjustment might be necessary if you get it to the desired level and still need to tweak the sound.

Boost ToggleThis switch alters the internal gain structure of the pedal to bring much more drive, heavier and more aggressive distortion when engaged.
