TREMOLO
The PLASMA RACK features a diverse TREMOLO
section that affects both the DRY and the WET signals.
To start off - set the BLEND Knob to the middle position and
turn the TREMOLO mode ON. By adjusting the DEPTH
knob all the way to the Right, you will hear a hard tremolo
effect on both the DRY and the WET signals. By reducing
the DEPTH knob towards the middle position (marked “0”),
the tremolo effect will become softer. When the DEPTH
knob is turned below the “0” position, the tremolo effect is
out of phase - instead of pulsating together, the DRY and
WET signals will now alternate.
The tremolo speed is adjusted by the RATE knob. As the
RATE knob is turned above 12 o’Clock, the pulsation will
become so fast that it will enter Ring Mod territory.
TIP:
Use OVERSATURATION mode to bring out the high-har-
monics produced by the Flickering PLASMA Tube.
DYNAMIC
DYNAMIC mode is a special kind of Tremolo effect, specifically designed for the
PLASMA Rack.
In essence - DYNAMIC Mode makes the Tremolo Depth sensitive to the
dynamics of your playing.
Turn DYNAMIC Mode ON, and set the DEPTH knob all the way to the Right. Now
the Tremolo or Ring effect will only be triggered momentarily by loud peaks in the
signal, such as strums, drum-hits, note attacks, etc. Other than the transients, most
of the signal will stay unaffected.
As you bring the DEPTH Control closer to the 12 o’Clock position, the tremolo effect
will stay on for a longer time, but it will start disappearing as the signal levels drop.
When the DEPTH Control is in turned below 12 o’Clock, the Dynamic effect is
reversed - the Tremolo will be triggered as the signal levels drop down. This allows
you to Strum a chord and let it ring out for a while, and have the tremolo rise up only
on the chord’s trails.
Various GAIN settings may cause DYNAMIC mode to respond differently.
