Chorus

 - From subtle chorus to vibrant, and lush tri-chorus that will instantly teleport you to the  

  80s. Type I is a traditional chorus great for tight smooth chorus tones. Type II adds a second chorus  
  with an offset rate and depth. Thanks to the constructive interface, it has a more dramatic character  
  caused by essentially running two chorus pedals in series. Type III finds its roots in the classic tri- 
  chorus effect running three chorus units in parallel for a lush multi-dimensional chorus.

X

:

 Lag - Sets the maximum allowed amount of detuning. Set shorter for tight chorus sounds and  

      higher for a more dramatic chorus.

Phaser

 - Classic 70s phaser sounds we all know and love, with added features that you wouldn’t  

  expect. Type I is a 2-Stage Phaser that produces a single notch to the classic mild phaser. Type II is a  
  4-Stage model producing 2 notches for a stronger effect. Type III is a phaser modeled after the  
  unique tuning and LFO shape found in a Uni-Vibe.

X

:

 Feedback - Determines the amount of phase-shifted signal that is fed back to the effect  

      input. Set lower for a more mild phaser sound and higher for a more aggressive resonate  
      phaser effect.

Tremolo

 – This program emulates tremolo with three different algorithms containing all the bells,  

  whistles, and even a cherry on top. Type I is excellent for traditional sounds similar to optical and  
  bias tremolos that raise and lower the entire frequency range – similar to the Monument in standard  
  mode. Type II is a warm and cozy harmonic tremolo – similar to the Monument in harmonic mode.  
  This unique sound is formed by raising and lowering your high and low frequencies opposite each  
  other. Type III offers several predefined patterns for rhythmic sequenced pulsing tremolo.

X

:

 Stereo Phase - Controls the phase of the right output in relation to the left output. As you  

      turn this control up, the volume modulation on the right channel will become more and more  
      out of phase compared to the left output. Note: this effect is only heard when using both  
      outputs.

 – Pattern Group: Use the Shape knob to select one of three pattern groups.  

      Each group contains five unique patters.

 – Pattern Select: Use the Sym knob to select one of five patterns in the selected  

      group.

Vibrato

 - Make good parts great with detuned, warbly, and vintage sounds that harken back to the  

  60s. Type I focuses on traditional vibrato sounds. Old record players inspire a digital take in  
  type II. With classic RPM’s on the rate knob and some noise character you’d find in your dad’s  
  old dusty Speedwagon LPs. The rate knob can select 33rpm, 45rpm, and 78rpm speeds in this mode.  
  Type III is a modern take on the wow and flutter pitch characters found in old tape players. Warm  
  and charming with a hint of nostalgia.

Type 2:

 Vinyl Vibrato

Type 3:

 Tape Vibrato

   o 

Rate:

 (Vinyl) Record RPM - Selects one of three speeds of a record player to modulate the pitch –  

      33RPM at min, 45RPM at noon, and 78RPM at max.
   o 

X:

 (Standard and Vinyl) Stereo Phase - Controls the phase of the right output in relation to the  

      left output. As you turn this control up, the pitch modulation on the right channel will become  
      more and more out of phase compared to the left output.
   o 

X:

 (Tape) Flutter - Determines the amount of “flutter” applied to your signal. This is a higher  

      frequency warble similar to that found on old tape machines.
   o 

Shape:

 (Vinyl and Tape) - Control the shape of the sine wave LFO. Sine will be a standard sine  

      wave, but triangle and square will be curvy variations of a sine wave instead of their usual shape.  
      This is to mimic different types of vinyl and tape motor wear.
