BASS / GATE:
- In Overdrive and Distortion modes, this knob functions as a Bass control, allowing you to boost or cut low frequencies.
- In Fuzz mode, this knob functions as a GATE control, adjusting the noise gate threshold to eliminate unwanted noise and feedback.
TREBLE / TONE:
- In Overdrive and Distortion modes, this knob functions as a DAMBUDZIKO control, allowing you to boost or cut high frequencies.
- In Fuzz mode, this knob functions as a TONE control, specifically a Low Pass Filter, for extreme tonal variations and shaping the fuzz character.

4. Drive Modes Explained

The Pico Triboro Bridge offers three distinct drive modes, each with its unique sonic characteristics:

Overdrive Mode (Green LED): This mode provides a gain spectrum ranging from low to mid-level saturation with an open voicing. It is ideal for use as a subtle "always-on" drive, adding warmth and grit, or as a solo boost to push your amplifier.
Distortion Mode (Orange LED): Engaging this mode provides additional gain-staging, delivering tones from crunchy rhythms to fully saturated leads. It offers a more aggressive and compressed sound compared to the Overdrive mode.
Fuzz Mode (Red LED): This mode transforms the pedal into a high-gain fuzz effect with over-the-top saturation. The BASS knob becomes a GATE control, and the TREBLE knob becomes a Low Pass Filter, allowing for unique and extreme tonal variations specific to fuzz.
