• Push: Cascades extra gain into the main stage, increasing drive, brightness, & nastiness (the last turn going compressed and splatty). On lower-gain settings, Push is more subtle, but adds extra drive, brightness, and responsiveness.
• Thick: Adjusts overall gain, thickness, overdrive, and sustain.
• Highs: Smooths to dampens highs activity; most highs to the right.
• Lows: Increases lows as you turn right.
• Headroom: Reduces clipping and opens up as you turn right, adding clarity & definition, letting your guitar shine through. Higher headroom is also excellent for chords & low tuning.
• Level: Volume.
— Thick changes voltage levels, making a scratching sound as the components adjust.. If you twist Thick quickly, you may hear a quiet whoosh sound, or a split-second lag before the knob’s effect kicks in.
— The Doom Bloom’s controls interact with each other, and Voltage-altering controls (like Thick) can especially affect the range or character of other controls.
