Tech Notes:

1.

Compression setting: Be sure to try out the different compression settings by setting the switch as described
in the user manual. The DD offers a less compressed, more raw setting as well as more of a classic
overdrive sound with longer sustain. We've found the classic setting works best with Marshall master
volume amps like the JCM800.
