Flickinger Tone Boxes The Chimera
Versatile Clean boost
LEFT FOOTSWITCH - CLEAN:
The left footswitch engages The Chimera. If the MEAN footswitch is on, both stages are engaged.
If the MEAN footswitch is off, only the CLEAN is engaged.
RIGHT FOOTSWITCH - MEAN:
The right footswitch engages the MEAN stage.
If the CLEAN footswitch is off, this will have no effect until the other footswitch is turned on.
CLEAN KNOB:
This controls the overall output volume of The Chimera. Be aware, this device is capable of a very large volume boost to your signal, especially with the MEAN switch engaged.
Make sure not to overload other effects or your amplifier!
TONE KNOB:
This is a passive low-pass tone control. Very similar to what is on your guitar/bass. Most of the time you will leave it wide open (full clockwise), just like most players do with their tone control on their instrument.
However, it can be very useful to tame the highs on a very bright amp, or if you just want a darker tone at higher gain settings.
