Controls

  • Knob 2 - "Drive": This knob sets the overdrive level of the pedal. Turning the knob clockwise increases the overdrive.
  • Knob 3 - "Tone": This knob is a treble-bleed style tone control. Full clockwise is full treble. Turn counter-clockwise to remove highs from the signal.
  • Footswitch 1 - "On/Off": This switch turns the 855 Drive on or off.

Phase Inversion

From our examination of the schematic below, the 855 Drive appears to not invert phase on the output as compared with the signal that goes into the pedal.

Electronic Part Action Phase State
Q1 Does not Invert Buffered-in Original Phase
IC1a Inverts Inverted
IC1b Inverts Reverted
Q2 Does not Invert Buffered-Out Reverted Phase

This conclusion will need to be born out by testing and observation.
