“OUT” jack. If you have a second amp, plug it into the Stereo Out
jack.
Guided Tour:
The following steps guide you through the sonic palette of the
TREMVELOPE and show you how to get at the full range of tones it has to
offer.
Tremolo Controls
1. Set all of the controls fully counter-clockwise and set all of the toggle
switches to the right. All the LEDs should be off. The TREMVELOPE is in
bypass mode. Be sure to turn the volume knob on your guitar all the
way up. Play your instrument and make sure a clean sound is passing
through.
2. Push the right footswitch to turn on the effect. Now turn the DEPTH
and SPEED knobs up to 12:00. You will hear the amplitude of your
sound being modulated. Explore the range of the DEPTH and SPEED
controls to get a feel for the sounds available with the basic tremolo.
3. Switch between Ramp and Sine waves. Ramp wave mode creates a
gradual rise in amplitude followed by a quick transition back down to
quiet. The Sine wave creates a smooth change from loud to soft.
Envelope Controls
4. Push the left footswitch to turn on the Envelope. The LED should now
come on. Turn the SENSITIVITY control all the way up and set the
DEPTH and SPEED controls to 12:00.
5. Play your instrument and notice how the speed and depth both
increase from the current position of the knobs, as you play harder.
6. Turn down the SENSITIVITY to 12:00. The envelope will now have less
impact on the depth and speed of the tremolo. Explore the full range
of the SENSITIVITY control.
7. Turn the SPEED knob up close to maximum and put the SPEED toggle
switch in the Minus position. Now when you play, the speed will slow
down while the depth increases… a very cool effect!
8. Switch the ACCELLERATION control to SLOW mode to hear the
lagging change like ramping a Leslie cabinet up or down.
