USER MANUAL Blues Hotone

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING A HOTONE PRODUCT!

BLUES is an overdrive stompbox for both guitarists and bassists. It has full range frequency response to create that classic blues tube-drive tone: clear, transparent, and detailed. With the FAT button, you get a richer tone with more low end. Of course, it sounds great on bass too!
