Electro-Harmonix CRAYON User manual

CRAYON

Full-Range Overdrive

Congratulations on your purchase of the Crayon, a colorful overdrive in a

compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Unlike many mid-focused overdrive

pedals, the Crayon is a

full-range

overdrive with rich harmonic content and a full

bodied tone allowing you to dial in the perfect overdrive for any situation. The

GAIN knob ranges from just a touch of dirt to full-on distortion while individual

BASS and TREBLE controls open up the frequency response capabilities of the

Crayon yielding a wide range of versatile overdriven sounds.

- CONTROLS -

GAIN Knob –Controls the amount of input gain. As you turn GAIN clockwise,

the overdrive ranges from just a touch of grit, in the fully counter-clockwise

position, to classic distortion, in the fully clockwise setting.

TREBLE Knob –As you turn TREBLE clockwise, the overdrive’s high end is

accentuated, making your tone brighter. Turn TREBLE counter-clockwise for a

darker sound.

BASS Knob –As you turn BASS clockwise, the low end is boosted. Turn BASS

counter-clockwise to reduce low end.

VOL Knob –Sets the output level of the Crayon. As VOL is turned clockwise, the

output volume increases.

FOOTSWITCH and LED –The Footswitch selects whether the Crayon is

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

INPUT Jack –This ¼” jack is the audio input for the Crayon. The input

impedance is 315k.

AMP Jack –This ¼” jack is the audio output from the Crayon. The output

impedance is 50.

9V Power Jack –The Crayon 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 Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply. The AC Adapter

must have a center negative plug. The battery may be left in or taken out when

using an AC Adapter. The Crayon has a current draw of 10mA at 9VDC.

- CHANGING THE BATTERY -

To change the 9V battery, remove the four screws on the bottom of the Crayon.

Once the screws are removed, take off the bottom plate to change the battery.

Please do not touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk

damaging a component.
