Features

Volume. Designed to adjust the output volume level from the pedal to your amplifier.

Low. The pedal has a two-way equalizer. The low knob boosts the low frequencies and gives a solid bottom end.

High. This is not a usual high frequency knob. The control acts as a regulator between the middle and the high frequencies. At minimum position the pedal has an incredibly smooth and massive mid end. By turning the control up, the tone acquires more highs and less middle. This type of equalizer allows to get the perfect balance between the low, middle and high frequencies.

Drive 1. A smooth and hard overdrive. At max Drive 1 settings the pedal gives you a thick and solid sound.

Drive 2. From light to medium gain overdrive.

The Drive 1 and Drive 2 are independent of one another, each featuring a different type of an overdrive. The 2 drives can either be used separately or together. By combining the 2 drives together you can easily simulate any type of an overdrive, perfectly suitable for either rhythm or solo parts.

By setting the Drive 1 and Drive 2 simultaneously to near or max position, you will get an incredibly thick and powerful distortion.

Auxiliary High. This control adds gain and boosts the signal, but only in the high frequencies spectrum. In simple terms, the knob makes the tone juicier and more saturated. This works perfect for guitars with darker tone. Also, this control works great as a booster, suitable for any pedal in chain after the Maple Leaf.

The two drive knob system together with excellent and perfectly balanced equalizer allow you to easily make the pedal sound just the way you want it to.
