Quick Specs
The Screaming BIRD is an Analog treble booster in a compact Nano enclosure. It was specifically designed for the guitarist who is looking for a simple control to deliver a treble character that cannot be obtained with their guitar or amplifier alone. Up to 20 dB of treble boost is possible allowing you to add a high frequency edge to any instrument. With a little experimenting you will see that The Screaming Bird opens new horizons to the top end of any instrument.
-THEORY OF OPERATION-
CONTROLS
Plug your Guitar or selected instrument into the INPUT jack of your Screaming BIRD and the output to your amplifier. Plug the DC adaptor into the 96DC-200 jack and then plug the DC adaptor into a wall outlet. The 9 volt battery also works. The STATUS LED indicates when the effect is switched on.
There are only two controls on The Screaming BIRD. The on/off footswitch engages and disengages The Screaming BIRD and the rotary Boost knob reacts like a specific high frequency boost control. The higher the Boost knob is turned up the more gain is applied.
The boost knob is really a volume control. At the maximum setting you receive 20 dB of gain above 1.6kHz topping at 2.4kHz. Understanding how your instrument and amplifier react to the Screaming BIRD is important. When setting up for the first time, be careful with the Boost control and experiment with The Screaming BIRD and your amplifier at different settings. At once you will hear the biting top end and potential that The Screaming BIRD provides to your overall tone.
WARNING: For long term use, it is advised that you use an optional Electro- Harmonix 96DC-200 adapter with The Screaming BIRD. Do not use any other DC adapters. Using other DC adapters, even those made by Electro-Harmonix, could cause harm to the unit, the adapter or you. The Screaming Bird can also be used with 9 volt batteries.
