CRY/TALK Toggle Switch – The UP position selects the CRY setting. CRY
simulates the type of filter found in a typical wah pedal circuit. The DOWN
position selects the TALK setting. This setting as its name implies produces — —
throaty/vocal vowel sounds.
PRE/FUZZ OFF/POST Toggle Switch – The PRE position places the fuzz
before the filter. Use this position for a vintage Hendrix vibe. FUZZ OFF removes
the fuzz from the signal path. The POST position places the fuzz after the filter
and yields a more modern sound.
BIAS Knob – This knob controls the amount of bias voltage supplied to one of
the transistors in the fuzz circuit. Turn the BIAS knob fully clockwise to supply a
nominal voltage and create a normal fuzz sound. Turn the bias control down
(counterclockwise) to decrease the bias voltage to get the “dying battery” sound.
This type of sound is characterized by a decrease in sustain and by notes that
get choked off you play with less force as .
Footswitch & Status LED – The Footswitch toggles between effect and
buffered bypass. The status LED lights when in effect mode.
INPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the audio input for the Cock Fight.
OUTPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the audio output for the Cock Fight.
EXP Jack The expression/CV input controls the frequency knob. The position –
of the FREQ knob sets the maximum sweep range of the expression/CV input.
Expression input jack accepts a TRS expression pedal connector or a Tip-Sleeve
0-5V control voltage input. The expression pedal should ideally use a 10k
potentiometer with linear taper. It must have the wiper connected to TIP and
toe-down connected to RING. Some manufacturers do not conform to ’ pedals
this convention and require a special cable/adaptor to swap RING and TIP.
Suggested Expression Pedals: EHX Expression Pedal, M-Audio® -P, MoogEX ® EP-
2 & EP-3, Roland® -5 or BossEV ® -500L. FV
- CHANGING THE BATTERY -
To change your 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of
the Cock Fight. Once the screws are removed, take off the bottom plate and
change the battery. Please do not We recommend alkaline batteries9V .
touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a
component.
FUZZ ON/OFF Switch –On the PCB there is a small DIP switch that changes
FUZZ OFF to FUZZ THROUGH mode. In FUZZ THROUGH mode the filter section
is bypassed and removed from the signal path. In this mode the knobs FREQ,
BOTTOM and switch CRY/TALK have no effect on the sound.
