Footswitches:  

8.

 

ENGAGE – This footswitch turns the entire TREMVELOPE on and off. 
When the engage light is turned off, the TREMVELOPE is bypassed. 

9.

 

ENVELOPE – This footswitch turns on Envelope control of the Tremolo 
effect. 

If both the SPEED and DEPTH toggle switches are set to OFF, the 

envelope mode will cause no change.

 

Knobs: 

10.

 

SENSITIVITY – This dial determines the amount of signal it takes to 
trigger the envelope. It should be used to determine how much the 
tremolo changes in response to picking dynamics. This control has a 
wide range of adjustment to accommodate signal levels ranging 
from wimpy single coil pickups up through active basses and line level 
recording equipment.  

11.

 

DEPTH – This controls the amount of LFO modulation

 

12.

 

SPEED – This dial controls the rate of the LFO  

Toggle Switches: 

13.

 

ACCELERATION – Determines how quickly the tremolo will change 
depth and speed based on your playing. 

14.

 

DEPTH (MINUS / OFF / PLUS) – Determines how the tremolo depth will 
change when the envelope mode is selected 

15.

 

SPEED (MINUS / OFF / PLUS) - Determines how the tremolo speed will 
change when the envelope mode is selected 

16.

 

WAVEFORM – Selects Sine wave or Ramp wave shapes for the LFO 

 

Getting Started:

 

Basic Hook Up 

 

1.

 

Unpack your TREMVELOPE and place it on a flat, stable surface. 

2.

 

Make sure you are using the 18-Volt DC (negative center) power 
supply that came with your Pigtronix TREMVELOPE.

 

3.

 

Plug the power cord into the 18VDC jack on the back of the 
TREMVELOPE and then plug the power adaptor into an electrical 
socket.  The TREMVELOPE is now powered up.  To turn the device off, 
unplug it from the wall or turn off the power going to the 18VDC 
supply. 

We recommend that you do not leave your TREMVELOPE 

powered up for long periods of time when it is not in use.
