The Cool Cat “Vibe” is like a prehistoric chorus that has emerged

from a swamp. Funky, inspiring, and addictive.

CONTROLS:

INTENSITY: Controls the intensity (or depth) of the Vibe,

from minimum (fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully

clockwise). When the Intensity control is set to minimum, the Vibe

sound will remain static, regardless of the Speed control.

SPEED: This controls the speed of the Vibe, from minimum

(fully counter-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise). The

Speed control will have no effect unless the Intensity control is set

higher than minimum (off).

MIX: When the Mix control is fully counter-clockwise, there is

no Vibe effect – it’s 100% dry. When the Mix control is set to

maximum, all you’ll hear is the effected signal – 100% wet. By

setting this control in-between minimum and maximum you can

choose the perfect dry to wet ratio. Notice that adjusting the

Mix control subtly alters your tonal balance.

NOTE: The Cool Cat Vibe adds a touch of saturation to your

sound – this is normal. It’s also possible to make it break up by

using super hot pickups or clanging your guitar. If this happens, try

a lighter touch, or turn down your guitar’s volume control.

BYPASS: The true bypass footswitch engages and disengages

the pedal.
