EAST RIVER DRIVE

Congratulations on your purchase of the East River Drive, a classic overdrive in a

compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. The East River Drive maintains the

character of your guitar and playing style while adding an edge to your tone that

ranges from mild overdrive to gritty distortion. True bypass switching keeps your

tone intact when the pedal is bypassed.

- CONTROLS -

the overdrive ranges from mild edge to classic distortion.

TONE Knob – Emphasizes a range of tones; from bass to treble as the TONE

knob is turned clockwise.

VOL Knob – Sets the output volume of the EAST RIVER DRIVE.

FOOTSWITCH and LED – The footswitch selects whether the EAST RIVER

DRIVE is engaged or in true bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED

will be lit.

INPUT jack – This ¼” jack is the audio input for the EAST RIVER DRIVE. The

input impedance is 375k.

AMP jack – This ¼” jack is the audio output from the EAST RIVER DRIVE. The

output impedance is 250.

9V Power Jack – The EAST RIVER DRIVE can run off of a 9V battery or you

can use an optional 9VDC AC Adapter capable of delivering at least 25mA to the

9V power jack, such as the EHX9.6DC-200. The AC Adapter must have a center

negative plug. The battery may be left in or taken out when using an AC

Adapter. The EAST RIVER DRIVE has a current draw of 6mA at 9VDC.

To change the 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of

the EAST RIVER DRIVE. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the

bottom plate and change the battery. Please do not touch the circuit board while

the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a component.
