Do you play a high-powered clean amp such as a Twin and can’t get a good cranked response at the real world gig volumes you have to play at? Do you play a smaller amp at home but it’s still too loud to give you a great amp response? Do you have a two-channel amp but hate the dirty channel? Or maybe you can playas loud as you want but you crave more touch-sensitivity in your rig. Or maybe you’re having trouble integrating fuzzes into your rig; maybe they get too loud or they just don’t sound right because your amp tone is too clean and the dirty channel of your amp makes the fuzz sound thin, farty, and pinched-o. Adding the Formula 5F6 to your rig will solve all these problems and will become the foundation of your pedalboard, the pedal that will enhance the response of all your other pedals. The Formula 5F6 lends itself to almost any musical style, from the classic Strat - Bassman blues tones of Buddy Guy and Otis Rush to artists like Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robbie Robertson, Robben Ford, all the way to heavier styles by stacking boost, overdrive, or fuzz pedals into it. Don’t worry, the Formula 5F6won’t just make you play old music! It will take you where your imagination takes you! Controls Best clean and on edge-of-breakup response, turn the Volume all the way up and start with the Gain control at minimum and then slowly bring up the Gain control to the desired response. This will give you the most authentic Bassman experience! In general, for best results the pedal should be set to be *slightly* louder when on compared to bypassed. you’ll get those great sparkly cleans, turned up midway or so and you’ll get that elusive touch-sensitive response where you can play clean or dirty just by varying your picking attack. And cranked all the way up you’ll get the gain structure of a Bassman on 12, thick and overdriven, but still sounding very California. Internal Controls There is a trimpot (accessible by removing the bottom plate) that allows you to fine-tune the amount of presence or high treble frequencies that the pedal produces. It is factory set to provide the best tone in most circumstances. However, everyone has different guitars, amps, and tastes so we've given you control over the final brightness of the pedal. We recommend that you don't adjust the presence trimpot until you've spent a good amount of time with the Formula 5F6 in your rig. After playing it at home, at rehearsal, and at the gig, you'll know better if you need to adjust it or not. You may find after a while that the pedal isa bit too bright with your rig or for your tastes. If that's the case, you can adjust the trimpot to reduce the brightness a bit. This is different than adjusting the Treble knob. The Treble knob is in the tone stack section of the circuit and it actually adjusts upper midrange frequencies. The presence trimpot is a final brightness control and adjusts around the 3khz range. Or if you find that you need a bit more brightness to cut through your band and the drummer's cymbals, go ahead and adjust the presence trimpot to be a bit brighter. The factory setting is exactly halfway on the trimpot. Mode Switch Ahh! It’s time to talk about the Secret Lead mode! There’s a switch inside that switches between Stock Bassman (S. Bass) and Secret Lead (S. Lead) mode! It will transform the Formula 5F6 from vintage low-gain goodness into a re-breathing monster from California! The gain gets pushed way up and the tone stack is reconfigured to a new voice that has a bright edge with plenty of fullness. Now, the astute among you will say, “So it turns it into a Marshall?” Good thinking, but that’s not what we did here. The goal was to supercharge it while still making it sound “American”. It’s anew unique voicing and a hell of a good time! Warning: It might get loud ;-)The mode switch can be accessed by removing the four screws of the bottom plate. It is located up at the top corner of the pedal. It's a tight fit to get fingers in there so a small flat blade screwdriver can be used to access the switch.
