Tips

To get the most out of your Rushing Train, start with the Drive control at noon and adjust to taste. For a classic British crunch, pair it with a slightly overdriven amp and roll back your guitar's volume knob to clean up the tone. Use a quality isolated power supply to minimize noise, and remember to unplug the input cable when not in use to preserve battery life if using a 9V battery (not included).
