Installation

Connexion électrique

Connect the included 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter to the 9V jack on the pedal. Ensure the power source matches the pedal's requirements.

Connexions audio

• Mono Input/Output: For standard mono operation, connect your instrument to the MONO/L INPUT and your amplifier to the MONO/L OUTPUT.
• Sortie stéréo : For stereo effects, connect your instrument to the MONO/L INPUT and connect two amplifiers or channels to the MONO/L OUTPUT and R OUTPUT.
• Entrée/sortie stéréo : For full stereo processing, connect your stereo source to the MONO/L INPUT and R INPUT, and connect to your stereo amplifier setup via the MONO/L OUTPUT and R OUTPUT.

External Control (Optional)

The pedal supports external tap tempo and clock synchronization via the TAP/CLK IN jack. An expression pedal can be connected to the EXP jack for real-time control over various parameters.

Principales caractéristiques et modes

Adjustable Modulation Waveforms

The WAVE knob allows selection of classic sine, triangle, and pulse waveforms. Additionally, nine rhythmic patterns can be selected and customized.

Tap Tempo and Tap Divide

Synchronize the tremolo rate with your music using the TAP footswitch. The TAP DIVIDE buttons allow for precise rhythmic subdivisions.

Stereo Phase Adjustment

The RT. PHASE knob enables fine-tuning of the right channel's phase relative to the left, creating dynamic stereo movement.

Envelope Follower Modulation

The ENV DEPTH and ENV RATE controls allow the tremolo's depth and rate to respond dynamically to your playing dynamics.

Stockage et rappel des préréglages

Save and recall up to eight customized preset programs for instant access to your favorite tremolo settings.

Contrôle de la pédale d'expression

Connect an expression pedal to control parameters like Rate, Depth, Shape, Phase, or Volume in real-time for expressive performance.

Ring Modulation (xRATE)

Engage the xRATE switch to push the tremolo into extreme speeds, creating unique ring modulation effects.

Reverse Tremolo

By manipulating the WAVE and SHAPE controls, you can achieve a reverse tremolo effect, creating unique swells and backward-sounding textures.

Rhythmic Tremolo

The RHYTHM knob allows you to create complex rhythmic tremolo patterns with up to 16 steps, adding intricate movement to your sound.
