Introduction  
More than a remarkable achievement, HardWirerepresents a collection of  
significant improvements in effects pedals for guitar. HardWire pedals pro-  
vide a suite of well-known effects, each with superior tone and control. But  
these pedals go above and beyond their peers to provide such distinguishing  
features as true bypass and high voltage operation, making them essential  
additions to the signal chain of players who know about sound quality and  
demand the utmost in performance.

What Does This Do?  
1. Level Knob - Controls the distortion output level. Turn the knob  
clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the output  
level.  
2. DC Adapter Jack - Connect (an optional) Harman PS200R  
power supply to this jack. Use the proper supply for your area’s  
mains line voltage.  
3. High Knob (center) - Controls the level of high frequency (tre-  
ble) boost/cut in the distortion effect.Turn the knob clockwise to  
increase and counter-clockwise to decrease treble level.  
4. Low Knob (ring) - Controls the level of low frequency (bass)  
boost/cut in the distortion effect. Turn the knob clockwise to  
increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the bass level.  
5. Mid Knob (center) - Controls the level of midrange boost/cut in  
the distortion effect. Turn the knob clockwise to increase and coun-  
ter-clockwise to decrease the mid frequencies.

6. Freq knob (ring) - Controls the Midrange frequency that the Mid  
knob boosts and cuts. Range is 200 Hz to 5.0 kHz.  
7. Gain Knob - Controls the overall distortion gain. Turn the knob  
clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease the  
amount of distortion gain.  
8. Voicing Switch -This switches between the Metal Distortion’s  
two voicings. Tight provides a punchy articulated low-end response.  
Loose creates a thick heavy low end for grinding rhythm playing.  
9. Input - Connect your instrument or the output of another pedal  
to this jack.This jack enables battery power to the pedal when con-  
nected.To prolong battery life, disconnect the cable from the Input  
jack when not in use. If the optional Harman PS200R power supply  
is used, cables can remain connected.  
10. Foot Switch Release Pins -These two pins are spring loaded  
4
 
hinges that hold the Foot Switch in place. See page 7 for informa-  
tion on accessing and changing the battery.  
11. Indicator LED - Lights when the effect is turned on.When bat-  
tery power is low (approximately 15 minutes before it dies), the  
Indicator LED begins to dim giving you advanced warning that very  
shortly you will need to replace the battery.  
12. Foot Switch -Turns the effect on and off.  
13. Output - Connect this output to the input of your amplifier or the  
input of another pedal.  
Note: Use unbalanced mono instrument cables only.

Battery Operation  
In the event that battery power is completely depleted, HardWire pedals  
automatically switch into bypass.This eliminates the need to remove the  
pedal from your pedal chain if the battery is dead. To replace the battery, do  
the following:  
1. Using the tip of a 1/4” guitar cable, push in one of the Release Pins in on  
either side of the Foot Switch, and remove it from the pedal chassis.  
2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment and disconnect the  
battery cable.  
3. Connect a new battery to the battery cable and put it back in the bat-  
tery compartment. Make sure the battery cable does not interfere with  
the spring or pedal switch arm.  
4. Place one hole of the Foot Switch over its corresponding pin.  
5. Push the opposite pin in and lower the other side of the Foot Switch  
into place over the depressed pin. Release the pin.When the Foot

Switch is properly fastened, both Release Pins are flush with the outer  
side of the pedal.
