EQ: This is a detented control. The center position is flat, no frequencies are affected. The EQ control is a tilt style with the center frequency at 900Hz. When rolled up, this knob boosts everything above 900Hz and cuts everything below. When rolled down, the knob boosts everything below 900Hz and cuts everything above. The maximum boost and cut is 10dB on either side.

LOUD: This control is very aptly named. When the Blend knob is rolled all the way back, full Loud will give a slightly boosted signal. But when the Blend and Loud knobs are all the way up, everyone within a one-mile radius will call the cops.

MIDS: This is a detented control. The center position is flat, no frequencies are affected. The Mids control is an active mids boost or cut at 900Hz, with up to 10dB of boost or cut. This helps the fuzz jump out of the mix with ease. The bandwidth of the mids boost is wide enough to interact with the EQ knob in interesting ways. Try it!

BLEND: This knob blends between clean and fuzz sounds, from 100 percent dry to 100 percent wet. This lets you preserve some natural guitar tone or pre—dialed frequencies which lets your tone breathe. Be aware that you will have to adjust the volume accordingly when turning this knob.

FUZZ: Goes from ”a little” to ”a lot." There are a ton of different flavors on tap, and the Giygas is equipped with a small ”treble retention circuit” that keeps the chime present even when Fuzz is at zero. Rolling the Fuzz control back brings all sorts of lower-gain garage rock textures to the surface.

The Gigas requires a 9VDC supply with 18mA of current. You can, of course, give the Gigas more current than it needs. However, because of the charge pump circuit, do NOT run the Giygas on anything higher than 9V. Bad things will happen, including and not limited to your warranty being voided.
