The stuff on the inside is usually set to what the builder thinks sounds best. Always depends on your gear though.

Turn it too much and it will stop working, it doesn't damage the pedal but it doesn't work.

What you want for Rarity is the Tone Factor Hellbaby (25 Made) or Eleven (Less than 20 made with number 11 being in black sparkle)
