BOOST LEVEL Trimmer Knob:sets the amount of gain in the Boost circuit. Turning Level clockwise increases the
Boost level. The Boost Level control is only active when Boost mode is enabled as indicated by a lit Boost LED.
BOOST Footswitch and LED: pressing the Boost footswitch activates Boost mode causing the signal level after the
EQ circuit to be boosted or increased. The Boost footswitch can be used to give your sound extra volume and
drive with the push of your foot. Use the Boost footswitch to toggle in and out of Boost mode. When lit, the LED
in the Boost block indicates that the Boost function is activated. When Boost is inactive, the Boost LED is off.
When GAIN is set to high settings, activating the Boost function will only yield a boost in saturation or distortion,
not a volume boost.
MID Knob: is part of the Boxidizer’s EQ section. Turning the Mid knob clockwise will increase the level of the
middle frequencies of your signal. To obtain a “scooped” sound turn the Mid control down below 12 o’clock.
BASS Knob: also part of the EQ section, turning the Bass knob clockwise will increase the level of your signal’s
bass or low frequencies.
TREBLE Knob: the last control in the EQ. Turning Treble clockwise increases the level of you signal’s treble or high
frequencies.
VOL Knob: is the master volume control, controlling the output volume at the Main Output jack. The Vol knob
has no effect over the output volume at the D.I. Output Jack.
EFFECT Footswitch and LED: the Effect footswitch is used to toggle the Boxidizer between Effect mode and True-
Bypass. When the LED in the Effect block is lit, the Boxidizer effect is activated. When the LED is off, the Boxidizer
is in True-Bypass mode. In True-Bypass mode, the Input jack is connected directly to the Main Output jack; the
D.I. jack is therefore muted.
Connections
INPUT Jack: is the audio input connection for the Boxidizer. Plug your instrument or effect output into this jack.
The input impedance presented at the Input jack 1MΩ.
MAIN OUT Jack (Unbalanced): is the Boxidizer’s main audio output jack. Plug a standard, mono, ¼-inch
instrument cable into this jack. The Vol knob adjusts the volume of the signal present at the Main Output jack.
We recommend connecting to the Main Out jack when using the Boxidizer as a standard effects pedal where
its output is connected to other pedals or to a guitar amp. In True-Bypass mode, the Main Output jack is
connected directly to the Input jack and nothing else.
D.I. OUTPUT Jack (Bal/Unbal): is a balanced/unbalanced audio output at fixed volume. If using the Boxidizer as
a pre-amp before a power amp, connect D.I. Output directly to the power amp. The Vol knob has no effect on
the signal level at the D.I. Output jack. To change the volume of the signal out of the D.I. Output jack use the
Gain knob, Boost footswitch or Boost Level control. The D.I. Output jack is muted when in True-Bypass mode.
PWR Jack: connect the output plug from a 9VDC, center-negative, Boss style AC Adapter into the PWR jack.
The Boxidizer’s current draw is approximately 15mA and works fine sharing power with other pedals in a daisy-
chained configuration. One example of an AC Adapter that works with the Boxidizer is the Visual Sound 1-Spot.
The Boxidizer does not come supplied with an AC Adapter.
9V Battery: to access the Boxidizer’s 9V battery, detach its bottom plate by removing the four screws on the
bottom of the Boxidizer. When installing a new battery, first connect the 9V battery clip then place the battery
between the two footswitches.
