Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron

Big Crush Compressor Pedal.

The Big Crush Compressor pedal has been specifically

engineered for low noise and super long sustain without

tone compromise. Unlike other compression pedals

that can effect your tone and “fuzzes” as the signal

decays, the Big Crush will ring on.

The Big Crush will allow you to hear every note. Great

for today’s modern guitarist using 7-String guitars or

guitars with super heavy gauge strings - the Big Crush

will allow all notes to be heard in their true glory.

The Big Crush is built into a super tough road worthy

extruded aluminium chassis. This pedal will stand up

to the abuses of time and road wear and tear.

The easy access battery compartment will make chang-

ing batteries during a gig a breeze. We have also

equipped it with a super bright blue LED so you will

know when the pedal is on...it is also just plain cool!

Connection

Level Control - Adjusts the output of compression.

Attack Control - Adjusts the amount of delay before compres-

sion occurs. Full counter-clockwise is a “Faster” attack. Full

clockwise is a “Slower” attack.

Active LED - When lit the pedal is “active” or “on”

Sustain Control - Adjusts the amount of dynamic range

limiting. Full counter-clockwise will produce less sustain. Full

clockwise will produce more sustain.

Output Jack - Using a standard guitar cable with a 1/4” jack,

plug into the input of your guitar amplifier or next stomp box

in the signal chain.

On/Off Switch - This switch determines whether the pedal is

“active” or “bypassed” - When “active” the blue LED will be lit.

When bypassed the LED will not be lit.

Input - Using a standard guitar cable with a 1/4” jack, plug your

guitar into this jack.

DC 9V Input - To use external power (not provided) use only a

9-Volt DC adapter

9-Volt Battery Compartment - to access pull on small tab labeled

“OPEN”. Replace with a new 9-Volt battery. Always remember

to unplug your guitar cords from the pedal to conserve battery

life. Some battery drain may take place when unit is plugged in

(even if the unit is bypassed).

Hints and Tips:

What does the Big Crush do? Answer - The Big Crush Compressor pedal

basically makes loud sounds softer and soft sounds louder. This enables

you to avoid peaks in the sound and keep the volume level even.

For guitar, it is a consistent volume level across all strings. It also give

you more sustain. As a plucked string’s volume dies out the Big Crush

will provide automatic gain control to keep the volume of the note(s) at a

consistent level. For bass it is recommended that you use a slower attack

speed to avoid over-compression.

It is recommended that the Big Crush be placed in your signal chain after

the guitar or bass, but before any other processing. Thus, if you are using

other stomp boxes, put the Big Crush first, then followed by you distortion

pedal, delay and so on.

The Big Crush Compressor is ideally suited for many different types of

music. By adjusting the various controls you can achieve lusher and

richer sounds when combined with other effects such as chorus and

flanger.

Try the Big Crush when playing chords without distortion (clean). By

adjusting the “sustain” control you can help all the strings become clearer

and more distinct. The overall sound will ring with a similar volume

level. The Big Crush can add a tonal texture to your sound that is useful

in many situations. Experiment with it. Sometimes the effect is subtle,

try it in different modes - clean, light crunch, heavy crunch and super

distortion - the differences will be clear.
