Über Metal Pilot’s Handbook

You can,

of course,

feed your

ToneCore

with

another

effect pedal

instead of a

guitar.

Output your ToneCore to your

amplifer, or route it through

another effect pedal.

Conect your guitar

using a standard

cable.

Greetings and salutations! Thank you for inviting the

mighty Line 6 Über Metal high gain distortion pedal

into your life.

Effect On-Off / Power Indicator Light

The Power Indicator Light on your ToneCore uses two

colors to indicate the pedal’s state:

• Light not lit – Effect is bypassed (off)

• GREEN – Effect is engaged (on)

• RED (flashing) – Batteries should be replaced

This low power indication will override all other states

Connections and Power Indicator Light

In Jack

Here’s where it all begins. Use a standard guitar cable

to connect your guitar, or the output of another effect

to use in combination with your ToneCore. Like most

pedals, inserting a plug into this jack will turn on

the power to your ToneCore. Disconnect the plug

from this jack when the ToneCore is not being used.

Out Jack

Use a standard guitar cable to connect to the input of

a guitar amp, or the input of another effect that will

feed your amp.

Power Jack

Connect an optional ToneCore-compatible Line 6

power supply like the DC-1, and you'll never need a

9-volt battery again!

Foot Switch

Stomp on this to turn Über Metal’s effect sound

processing on and off.

Über Metal Pilot’s Handbook

Level

Higher levels will hit the amp or effect fed by the Über

Metal with more signal level, giving you more volume.

If the level is high enough, it may also cause unwanted

distortion within the receiving amp or pedal.

Mid & Scoop

Mid chooses a frequency from 250Hz to 4kHz. Scoop

then removes sound at this frequency, with maximum

scoop at the fully clockwise setting. Turn it fully

counter-clockwise for a slight Mid boost.

Drive

This controls the amount of distortion created within

your Über Metal. Especially when you've got it set high,

you may need to use the Gate to tame unwanted noise.

Bass & Treble

Bass and Treble are more/less controls for your low and

high frequencies. Point the knob straight up to leave

your tone unaltered.

Model Switch

Give this a flick to reconfigure the virtual circuitry

inside your Über Metal, and enjoy three distinctly

different sound “flavors”.

Metal creates screaming distortion, from heavy grind

to molten metal! Bow down, infidels.

Pulverize gives you a distortion similar to a high gain

tube amp. Mmmm, it’s warm and meaty!

Insane has more skin-peeling gain and sustain than

anything else available, and boy does it sound good.

Gate

Off – Disables the Gate.

Gate 1 – A soft and mild noise gate, self-adjusting to

your current Drive knob setting (cool, huh?).

Gate 2 – A heavy, fast-clamping gate. Great for those

aggressive metal chords and palm muting.

Controls

Battery Access Instructions

1) Depress pedal fully.

While holding pedal,

squeeze both sides of

hinge as shown.

Squeezing hinge,

raise pedal to

reveal battery.

2)

3)

Power Supply

Connect an optional Line 6 DC-1 power supply and

you'll never need a 9-volt battery again! It is also

compatible with most popular 9 Volt DC stomp boxes.

Using the power supply will disconnect the battery.

Example Tones

Early Metal

Journey back with us to the world

of vintage metal. Large numbers of

smoke pots and 4x12 cabinets are

highly recommended.

80’s Metal

Squeeze into your Spandex and pull

out the AquaNet—this is hair

metal at its best! You’ll want to use

a guitar with humbuckers for best

results. Perhaps a dayglo yellow one

would do the trick.

Monster Metal

It slices, it dices, it shears off body

parts! The aggressive gate setting is

perfect for choppy chordal rhythms

a n d o t h e r f o r m s o f N u M e t a l

madness.
