Using the DigiTech Boneshaker Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal is easy. First, connect your guitar to the input and the output to your amplifier using ¼” instrument cables. You can use a 9V alkaline dry battery or an optional power supply to power the pedal. To get an overdriven sound, adjust the settings on the pedal to drive your amp's front - end into overdrive. If you want to shape your fuzz tone, play around with the 3 - band semi - parametric EQ to make it cut through in a mix. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedal in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're using a battery, replace it regularly to ensure proper operation. And that's it! Enjoy using your Boneshaker pedal to create amazing guitar sounds.
