Frequently Asked Questions - Bones Texas Radial Engineering
How do I power the Bones Texas pedal?
Use a standard 9V DC power supply with center negative polarity and 2.1mm barrel connector. Alternatively, insert a 9V battery (alkaline recommended) by opening the bottom plate.
What is the current draw of the Bones Texas?
The pedal draws approximately 15 mA. Avoid daisy chaining with high-current pedals to prevent noise.
How do I achieve a clean boost versus distortion?
Set the Gain control low (7-9 o'clock) for a clean boost, and higher (2-3 o'clock) for overdrive/distortion. Adjust Level to match volume.
Is the Bones Texas true bypass?
Yes, it features relay-based true bypass to preserve your guitar signal when the effect is off.
What type of tone does the Texas model produce?
It delivers a warm, bluesy overdrive with emphasis on midrange frequencies, inspired by classic Texas blues tones.
Can I use the pedal with active pickups?
Yes, the high input impedance (500 kΩ) works well with both passive and active pickups. Adjust the Gain accordingly.
How do I clean or maintain the pedal?
Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use chemicals. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
What if the LED does not light up?
Check the power connection or battery. Ensure the power supply is 9V DC center negative. Replace the battery if depleted.
Can I use the pedal with a line level signal?
It is designed for instrument level (guitar/bass). For line level, reduce input gain to avoid clipping distortion. Not recommended for line-level mixing.
Where can I find spare parts or service?
Contact Radial Engineering authorized service centers or visit their website. Spare parts like knobs, switches, and jacks are available.
