Controls

LEVEL: Adjusts output signal

SENSITIVITY: Amount of compression being applied

FUZZ: Well, you know, level of distortion. Set low for boosting overdriven amps or dirt pedals and work your way up to see how far you can go.

LEVEL: As expected, controls the output volume. Plenty of volume on tap, even with the Fuzz knob set to minimum.

BASS: A pre gain control so more bass equals more fuzz. Play with it and you will find the perfect balance between tight/precise and bold/buzzy.

TREBLE: Rolls off highs post gain at variable frequencies.

BIAS TOGGLE: Selects one of three bias settings (individually set for each pedal):

UP: High headroom setting, least amount of fuzz and compression, tight and precise

MIDDLE: The almost too low bias – dirty, buzzy, can get into velcro fuzz territory…fun!

DOWN: The golden middle

BUFFER TOGGLE

UP: Buffered mode. Don’t worry about the placement in your signal chain, just activate the HG’s special buffer and you’re set. Gives a little extra edge and presence in the mix compared to

DOWN: Unbuffered mode. If you prefer the classic way, just connect your guitar straight to the HG without the buffer. Slightly darker, more resonant tone, better cleanup with the guitar volume.
