At maximum, the output is entirely the fuzz signal. As the knob is turned down, more of the dry signal is blended into the output. At the minimum position, the signal is completely dry.[/nectar_hotspot][nectar_hotspot left=”43.37183718371837%” top=”45.85793121149898%” position=”right”] FUZZ Knob Controls the input gain of the fuzz circuit.

The status LED lights when the effect is engaged and is off when in bypass. The Bender Royale employs True Bypass with a mechanical relay. The footswitch includes a momentary action when you press and hold the switch for more than half a second. The momentary footswitch action may also be disabled, see the section Footswitch Latching and Momentary Action.[/nectar_hotspot][/nectar_image_with_hotspots][/vc_column][/vc_row]
