- මට්ටම: Sets the overall output volume of the overdriven signal.
- ධාවකය: Controls the amount of gain in the overdriven signal.
- මාදිලිය: Selects between the Alpha (tighter, more defined) and Omega (rawer, more aggressive) distortion circuits. The knob blends between these two distinct voicings.
- Growl (Toggle Switch): Engages a bass boost before the distortion stage, adding thickness and low-end saturation.
- Bite (Toggle Switch): Engages a high-mid boost (2.8kHz) before the distortion stage, enhancing presence and attack.
- මාස්ටර්: Controls the overall volume of the pedal, affecting both clean and distorted signals, as well as the headphone and XLR outputs.
