• Switch 1 - "Output Select": When viewing the pedal straight-on, this switch is difficult to see as it is flush with the left-facing side. It can be found near the OUTPUT jack, opposite the RETURN jack. This switch toggles the function of the OUTPUT jack between -10 dB (for a standalone amplifier or another pre-amplifier), and + 4 dB (for a mixer or power amp).
