1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron MultiValve

™

guitar effects proces-

sor! The MultiValve

™

is a 24-bit DSP processor providing tube warmth to a host of high

quality digital effects, as well as a number of practical features to enhance any guitar rig.

• Audio Glassics 12AX7 tube, which can be inserted into the signal path

on any preset, with 2 gain settings for added tube warmth.

• Preset Spillover allows for reverb and delays from a current preset to

carry over into the next preset and continue decaying when a new preset
has been selected.

• Dual Channel Switching allows for programmable channel switching of

amp heads, combo amps or preamps and eliminates the need for a
separate channel switching device.

• Real Time Control of delay times and modulation rates through tap

tempo and rate parameters. Delay times and modulation rates can be
changed instantly by tapping either a momentary footswitch or the front
panel Tap Delay/Rate parameter.

• High quality digital effects include chorus, delay, auto pan, tremolo,

rotating speaker, pitch shift, flanger, reverb and phaser effects.

• HUSH

noise reduction operates only on incoming preamp noise, and

does not affect the digital effects - which are already ultra quiet.

• Also provides compression, a four band full parameteric EQ and

complete mixing capabilities.

For a thorough explanation of the MultiValve

™

and all its features, please read this

manual carefully and keep it for future reference. After removing the MultiValve

™

from the

box, save all the packing materials in case it becomes necessary to ship the unit.
