Manufacturer's Description from Flickinger

The Cranky Atom Tone Box is a JFET overdrive with a three band tone-stack.  The Atom simulates the sound of an overdriven dual triode.  The drive control adjusts from a clean boost all the way to sound of a 15W “tweed” amp pushed to an inch of its life.


VOLUME:

This controls the overall output volume of your Cranky Atom.  Be aware, this device is capable of a very large volume boost to your signal.  Make sure not to overload other effects or your amplifier!

TONE-STACK:

The Atom’s tone-stack is a three band passive EQ that is interactive.  In order to get the results you want, keep in mind that the controls only subtract from the signal.  The tone-stack is basically removed from the circuit with all controls at full clockwise.  Also, the Middle control will assume more of the high and low frequencies as you reduce the Treble and Bass controls.  Think of what frequencies you want to add, and reduce the other controls.

DRIVE:

Halcyon – clean to slightly pushed
Caustic – classic overdrive sounds
Bedlam – don’t try this with your actual vintage tweed amp!

9V:

Your Crank Atom can use a standard 9V battery.  Also, the jack on the rear accepts a standard 2.1mm (BOSS type) AC adapter.  Make sure the center pin is negative.  Using the wrong polarity will not harm the pedal, however it will not function.
