This stomp box emulates high gain modded amplifiers to deliver heavily saturated and compressed 'brown sound' guitar tones. It works as both a lead and rhythm distortion in a single unit, so you can cover a lot of ground without adding more boxes to your board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo footswitches sit on the front. One handles effect on\/off, while the other switches between two independent sets of Gain and Volume settings, giving you two separate distortion voicings ready to go. Both switches can also be operated remotely through a rear jack input, which is handy if you run a controller or want to keep foot travel to a minimum. A line of four tone-shaping controls (Bass, Treble, Presence and Tight) lets you set the overall frequency content, and you can pick between buffered or true bypass to suit your signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor extra headroom, a switch on the rear multiplies the internal voltage to 18V, increasing the dynamic range when you need it. The pedal runs on an external 9Vdc, 150mA (min) pin-negative power supply, which is not included; the compatible adaptor is part number 173.290UK. It measures 115 x 105 x 58mm and weighs 460g, so it fits neatly alongside your other pedals. If you want a genuine high gain unit that doubles up on your board, the Fireman earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGain 1+2, Volume 1+2, Bass, Treble, Presence, Tight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9Vdc, 150mA (min) pin-negative (not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitch selectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffered or true bypass, internal 9V-18V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115mm x 105mm x 58mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.46KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/173373UK.pdf?v=1784994134\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the NDS-5 come with a power supply?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It needs an external 9Vdc, 150mA (min) pin-negative supply, which is sold separately.
