Rate

 - The Rate knob sets the speed of the main LFO. Set lower for long gentle movement, and 

higher for wild and fast modulation.

Depth

 - The Depth knob determines the amount of modulation heard by setting the amplitude 

of the main LFO. Go from no modulation at minimum to seasick, mind-bending effects at higher 
settings. 

Tweak

 - The Tweak knob and switch offer creative control over three different key modulation 

parameters as well as three “lo-fi” effects. These allow you to creatively shape each modulation 
program to taste. The lo-fi effects can add character and unique movement to your sound.  

Tweak Switch

 - To adjust the main parameters, simply move the toggle below the knob to select the 

parameter you want to control, then use the Tweak knob to dial in the preferred Shape, Tap Division, 
or program Type. To adjust the lo-fi parameters, move the toggle below the knob to select the lo-fi 
parameter you want to modify and adjust the Tweak knob while holding down the Bypass switch.

Note: If you aren’t hearing any effect from the lo-fi parameters, check to make sure the main lo-fi 
knob is turned up as it serves as the master level knob for all lo-fi parameters.

 • 

Shape

: Set the switch to Shape and use the Tweak knob to choose sine, triangle, or square LFO  

   wave shapes to modulate your signal. 

• 

Division (Div)

: Set the switch to the Div position and use the Tweak knob to adjust the tap division  

  used by the M1 to set the LFO speed when tapping a tempo. Choose between quarter, quarter note  
  triplet and eighth note.

 
 • 

Type

: Set the switch to the Type position and use the Tweak knob to choose between three  

  different effect types within each program. See the program section for a description of each  
  program type.

CONTROLS

Prog (Program)

 - The Program (shark) knob selects the desired M1 modulation program. Choose 

between classic chorus sounds, sweeping phaser tones, throbbing tremolos, warm vibrato, throaty 
rotary speaker, and expressive filters. See the program section for a more detailed description of each. 

Tune

 - Like the Tweak knob, the Tune knob and switch offer creative control over three additional 

modulation parameters and three “lo-fi” effects. These allow you to further shape each modulation 
program to taste. The lo-fi effects can add additional character and movement to your sound. 

Tune Switch - 

To adjust the main parameters, simply move the toggle below the knob to select the 

parameter you want to control, then use the Tune knob to dial in the preferred Tone, Symmetry, or X. 
To adjust the lo-fi parameters, move the toggle below the knob to select the lo-fi parameter you want 
to modify and adjust the Tweak knob while holding down the Bypass switch.

Note: If you aren’t hearing any effect from the lo-fi parameters, check to make sure the main Lo-Fi 
knob is turned up as it serves as the master level knob for all lo-fi parameters.
