Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and

“IMPORTANT NOTES” (supplied on a separate sheet). These sections provide important in-

formation concerning the proper operation of the unit.

Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good understanding of every fea-

ture provided by your new unit, this manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should

Main Features

●

The ML-2 produces a heavy distortion with a bold attack, making it ideal for massive-

sounding death-metal riffs.

●

The LOW control produces a deep, low sound, even if you don't use extreme downtuning.

●

The HIGH control lets you create guitar-riff sounds with lots of edge (attack) and a crisp

high end.

1. AC Adaptor Jack

This jack accepts the connection of an AC

adaptor (optionally available BOSS PSA-se-

ries). By using an AC adaptor, you can play

without being concerned about how much

battery power you have left.

* Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA-

series), and make sure the line voltage at the

installation matches the input voltage specified

on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors

may use a different polarity, or be designed for

a different voltage, so their use could result in

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

* If the AC adaptor is connected while power is

on, the power supply is drawn from the AC

adaptor.

* If there is a battery in the unit while an AC

adaptor is being used, the ML-2 will switch

over to battery-powered operation should the

line voltage be interrupted due to a power

blackout or power cord disconnection.

2. CHECK Indicator

This indicator shows whether the effect is on

or off, and also doubles as the battery check

indicator. The indicator lights when the ef-

fect is on.

* If you're powering the unit with a battery

and the CHECK indicator goes dim—or

doesn't light at all—when you try to turn the

effect on, the battery is near depletion and

should be replaced. For instructions on

changing the battery, refer to “Changing the

Battery” (p. 11).

* The CHECK indicator shows whether the

effect is being applied or not. It does not

indicate whether the power to the device

is on or not.

3. OUTPUT Jack

Connect this jack to the input of a guitar amp

or another effects processor.

4. Pedal Switch

This switch turns the effect on/off.

5. Thumbscrew

When this screw is loosened, the pedal will

open, allowing you to change the battery.

* For instructions on changing the battery,

refer to “Changing the Battery” (p. 11).

6. INPUT Jack

This jack accepts signals coming from a gui-

tar or other musical instrument, or another

effects unit.

* The INPUT jack doubles as power switch.

Panel Descriptions

Power to the unit is turned on when you plug

into the INPUT jack; the power is turned off

when the cable is unplugged. When not using

the effects unit, be sure to disconnect the plug

from the INPUT jack.

7. LEVEL Knob

This knob controls the volume the effect

sound.

8. LOW Knob

This knob controls the tone of the effect at

lower frequencies. Tuning the knob clockwise

boosts the lower frequencies, while tuning it

counterclockwise cuts the lower frequencies.

9. HIGH Knob

This knob controls the tone of the effect at

higher frequencies. Tuning the knob clock-

wise boosts the higher frequencies, empha-

sizing the picking attack. Tuning the knob

counterclockwise cuts the higher frequen-

cies, producing a tone in which the low-fre-

quency sounds are more prominent.

10. DIST Knob

This knob controls the amount of distortion

applied to the sound. Tuning the knob clock-

wise boosts the distortion effect.

Connections

* Inserting a connecting plug into the INPUT jack

turns on the power to the unit.

* Raise the amp volume only after turning on the

power to all connected devices.

* The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the

unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should

you prefer to use a battery, please use the alkaline

type.

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers

or other devices, always turn down the volume, and

turn off the power on all devices before making any

connections.

* If there is a batteries in the unit while an AC

adaptor is being used, normal operation will

continue should the line voltage be interrupted due

to power blackout or power cord disconnection.

* Some connection cables contain resistors. When

connection cables with resistors are used, the sound

level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For

information on cable specifications, contact the

manufacturer of the cable.

* Once the connections have been completed, turn on

power to your various devices in the order specified.

By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk

causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and

other devices.

When powering up:

Turn on the power to your guitar amp last.

When powering down:

Turn off the power to your guitar amp first.

* Always make sure to have the volume level turned

down before switching on power. Even with the

volume all the way down, you may still hear some

sound when the power is switched on, but this is

normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.

* When operating on battery power only, the CHECK

indicator will become dim when battery power gets

too low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.

A NOTE About Placement

BOSS Compact Pedals have a non-slip rubber pad attached to its bottom cover. Depending on the mate-

rial and temperature of the surface on which you place the Compact Pedal, the rubber pad may discolor

or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the unit to prevent this from happening.

If you do so, make sure the unit will not slip or move accidently during use.
