Aside from its obvious function, controlling speed, the SPEED control has a
few different modes.

The speed pedal jack allows you to hook up a remote
pedal, or potentiometer to control the speed. A passive expression pedal is recom-
mended. Check with your dealer for recommended models. Also, a special cable is
required for hooking up a standard volume pedal. The cable needed is a Y cable
with a STEREO 1/4” TRS connector at one end which brakes out to two MONO 1/4”
TS plugs - one with its TIP going to the TIP of the Stereo connector, the other with its
TIP going to the RING of the Stereo connector. This type of cable is commonly used
for interfacing signal processors with channel inserts on mixing consoles, and is avail-
able at most music stores.
This circuit offers better performance when compared to other pedal-controlled vibe
effects. In addition, the SPEED control can be used to set the maximum speed that the
pedal will reach when pressed down all the way. If you hook up a speed pedal and
you notice that it won’t go fast, check the SPEED control and make sure it’s turned up.
Protection circuitry is used, making it almost possible to damage the speed control cir-
cuit by improperly wiring the speed control.

The Provibe has two basic modes, CHORUS
and VIBRATO. In CHORUS mode, the phase-shifted signal is mixed with the dry sig-
nal, resulting in the phasing sound that the Vibe is famous for. In Vibrato mode, only
the phase-shifted sound is sent to the output, without being mixed with the dry signal.
The result is a pitch vibrato with no phasing qualities. The Vibe effect is most famous
for the CHORUS sound. Vibrato mode is rarely used, however it is the only way to get
certain vintage sounds. When playing around with Vibrato mode, you can get the
best sounds by choosing a medium speed and a pretty low WIDTH setting. The CEN-
TER control does very little in VIBRATO mode.
