| The Nick Nitro is two
separate effects in one box. It is an octave fuzz and fuzz, each
of which can be used together or separately.
INPUT
Plug your guitar, or whatever pedal you plan
on using in front of the Nick Nitro, in here. (Phase shifters sound
great here.)
OUTPUT
Plug this into your amp's input, or whatever
you plan on using after the Nick Nitro. (Flange, chorus, reverb, and
delay units sound great here.)
FUZZ CONTROLS
The volume sets the amount of output. Fuzz
sets the level of distortion. Try starting out with the fuzz at 3:00
and the volume at 12:00. Then turn the volume control down on
your guitar (down to 3 or 4). You should get a clean sound, providing
your amp is clean. This feature keeps you from being trapped behind
your pedal board as you're able to control clean and dirty sounds from
your guitar.
OCTAVE CONTROLS
The volume sets the output level of the
Octave section. The tone control is a thin-o-fat knob (clockwise is
fat; counterclockwise is thin.) Starting out with the volume at 10:00
and the tone up full, use the neck pick up on your guitar and play
some single notes at the 12th fret. Once you get a feel for it,
experiment with different settings and pick up combinations. Try using
both octave and fuzz at the same time and use the volume on your
guitar to get different tones. |
