Using the BOSS SD - 1 - B50A overdrive guitar effects pedal is easy. First, connect your guitar to the 1/4 - inch input jack and your amp to the 1/4 - inch output jack. You can power it with a 9V carbon - zinc or alkaline battery or an AC adaptor (which you need to buy separately). Turn on the pedal switch and start adjusting the Drive, Tone, and Level knobs to get the sound you like. For a clean or slightly driven amp, it can add a great overdrive effect. If you have a high - gain amp, it can make the sound tighter and more defined. You can also stack it with other boost, overdrive, or distortion pedals for even more unique sounds. When not in use, turn off the pedal switch. Keep the battery in a cool, dry place if you're using battery power. If you're using the AC adaptor, make sure it's properly connected and the voltage is correct. Wipe the pedal with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Don't expose it to extreme heat, cold, or moisture.
