A LITTLE HISTORY:
DVK Technologies was conceived and brought to reality largely to satisfy our own longings for certain sounds that
were always available but never inexpensively or in a compact and functional form. This is why we concentrate on
producing dual function pedals that give you a myriad of useful and fun (very important!) sounds that we hope
will assist you in your creation of great music. The combination of these sounds and their accessible features on
while maintaining a small footprint so you still have plenty of room on those ever expanding pedal boards for
your other toys (or more of ours!) The circuits are our own (based on several traditional circuits) and were
designed from the ground up by 'The Doc. ' As we've had to pack a lot into the cases there is no room for a battery
lead deposits than they already are.
THE MRS
is a dual function pedal featuring a compressor and a booster.
The Compressor can be used by itself or in combination with the boost. Its circuit is one of our own based on a few
legendary compressors that we have admired and found useful in the past. It features a 'norm/bright' switch that,
when switched to the 'bright' side, will give your sound bit more zing or top end.
The Booster side will provide up to 25dB of gain ('Level' control) with the added bonus of a 'Gain' control to dial in
a little drive or edge. Another feature of the booster side is the 'Norm/Fat' toggle switch, which, when engaged in
the 'Fat' mode, will give your bottom and low mids a kick in the guts.
Because The Mrs features two circuits (compressor and booster) you can, of course, combine the two. Doing so
harder with the compressor side resulting in some pretty crazy (and loud!) dirt tones. This sort of application is just
the thing to push an amp in near breakup mode right over the edge. In short: Experiment!
CONTROLS:
Level (Compressor side): Controls the overall volume or
output of the Compressor circuit. Use in conjunction with the
'Comp' knob for varying degrees of boost or compression.
Attack: The Attack knob determines the amount of time the
compressor takes to reach the compression threshold set by
the 'Comp' knob. Winding this knob clockwise will result in a
slower attack; you will hear the compressor kick in a little
later. Dialing the Attack knob fully anti-clockwise will result in
an almost instantaneous compressed sound – great for
country or chicken picking.
Norm/Bright: Switch this toggle to 'Bright' for a little more
top end, sparkle and zing in your tone.
Input Impedance:
Output: 100K Ohm | Power Requirements: 9v DC ONLY. 2.1mm Socket/Plug. Tip Negative Class 2 Regulated Supply
1 MEG Ohms
Congratulations and thank
you for purchasing a DVK
Technologies pedal. We hope
your new acquisition brings
you many hours of enjoyment
and use in the way it was
intended – to make music!
Level (Boost side): Determines the amount of level or
volume in the boost side.
Norm/Fat: Switching this toggle to 'Fat' mode will
result in a more bottom to low-mids heavy sound.
Perfect for thickening up your tone.
Comp: Determines the compression ratio of the
compressor circuit. Fully anti-clockwise will give little or
minimal compression. The more you wind it clockwise
the greater your sound will be compressed and
sustained.
