1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Voodu Valve™ Online!
The Voodu Valve Online features presets created and uploaded by Rocktron users from
all over the world to Rocktron's World Wide Web site. These presets can be easily updated
from the "Patch Bay" at Rocktron's web page. In addition, you can also upload your own
custom presets to share with other online users. For instructions on downloading and up-
loading Voodu Valve presets, please visit our web site at "http://www.rocktron.com" and
click "Patch Bay".
The Voodu Valve™ Online is a 24 bit DSP professional tube guitar preamp providing 12
unparalleled effect algorithms and superb sound quality never before heard from a digital
tube guitar preamp. Complete programmability and full MIDI implementation are coupled
with a user friendly operating format to ensure that designing unique and useful preset
sounds is as simple as possible.
In addition, the Voodu Valve™ Online also features:
• Advanced Speaker Simulation provides a strikingly realistic ap-
proximation of a miked speaker cabinet at line-level for direct mixer
input or headphone listening.
• Full parametric Pre and Post EQ gives the user complete EQ
control over each preset.
• HUSH ® Noise Reduction provides noise reduction while playing
and complete silence when not.
• "Variac" Simulation, like a conventional Variac, adjusts the level
at which the preamp begins to distort. This provides more gain in
high-gain applications, and allows for full-bodied cleaner presets
which just begin to distort when the strings are attacked harder.
• Internal Wah-Wah allows the player to use an expression pedal
for Wah-Wah effects instead of running long audio cables out to a
conventional Wah-Wah pedal.
• High-quality Digital Effects, including:
-Reverb -Phasing -Tremolo -Flanging
-Pitch Shifting -Compression -Chorus -Delay
• XLR Outputs for direct mixer input.
