AUTO SWELL
Rate:
Attack time of the swell: CCW is slow, CW is fast.
Depth:
Depth of modulation: CCW no modulation, CW high modulation.
Variable:
Volume (pick attack) sensitivity: CCW is low sensitivity, CW is
maximum.
Blend:
Mixes the dry with the wet: CCW is fully dry, CW is fully wet.
Volume
:
Overall volume of effect: CCW -6db, middle is 0db, CW +6db
INTERESTING STUFF:
This one is all about finding the balance with your attack
time (RATE) and pick attack (BLEND) response. When you hit it right, you will be
able to control the speed it comes in and make your playing dynamic, find the
sweet spot on the pick attack (VARIABLE) to the point where you can bring in
beautiful chord pads by playing softer, and have the notes arrive quicker when
playing single notes.
ROTARY
Rate:
Controls the maximum speed of the horn (higher frequencies): CCW
is slow, CW is fast.
Depth:
Controls the maximum speed of the woofer (lower frequencies):
CCW is slow, CW is fast.
Variable:
Horn and woofer acceleration, or ‘ramp speed’: CCW slow, CW
fast.
Blend:
Balance between woofer and horn: CCW 100% woofer, CW 100%
horn.
Volume
:
Overall volume of effect: CCW -6db, middle is 0db, CW +6db
TAP TEMPO:
Activates ‘ramp’ (the time between fast and slow speeds, as
controlled by the
VARIABLE
knob).
INTERESTING STUFF:
The power of the ROTARY is in the ramp. Switching between
the ‘resting state’ (which is lots of rotations a second) on slow and ‘BOOM’ (which
is lots more rotations a second) on fast, is what makes it sound so awesome.
Finding that ramp speed is key, once you have found it, you can make your chord
changes pop as the rotary speeds up or slows down as you do move across the
song. With a little natural speaker compression and grit thrown in as well, you
have that full ROTARY cabinet at your feet, but without the backache.
U VIBE
Rate:
Controls the speed of the effect: CCW is slow, CW is fast.
Depth:
Filter depth: CCW is small range, CW is high
Variable:
Waveshape: CCW maximises the higher part of the throb,
maximum emphasises the lower
Blend:
Mixes the dry with the wet: CCW is fully dry, CW is fully wet.
Volume
:
Overall volume of effect: CCW -6db, middle is 0db, CW +6db.
INTERESTING STUFF:
Finally, a Wampler Vibe effect. We’ve made this as wet as
possible, with the control over the thump that we all know and love. When you
have the VARIABLE control set up towards the CW position, that classic Vibe
thump is there. Perfect for running into a dirty signal. When it’s more CWW, the
higher part of the wave is bought forward, making it a much cleaner and more
subtle effect. Find your place. Turn up the Vibe and party like it’s 1967, baby.
PHASER
Rate:
Controls the speed of the effect: CCW is slow, CW is fast.
Depth:
Stereo “width”: CCW is mono, CW is wide stereo.
Variable:
‘Chorus’ depth: CCW is no chorus, CW is maximum.
Blend:
Mixes the dry with the wet: CCW is fully dry, CW is fully wet.
Volume
:
Overall volume of effect: CCW -6db, middle is 0db, CW +6db.
INTERESTING STUFF:
The one to tweak here is the BLEND control. A lot of your
favorite PHASER tones are NOT a straight 50/50 between dry and wet, or even a
100/0 balance, finding the right point on your BLEND control allows the PHASER
to sit within your tone, now… it can sit right on top, in the background or just
peeking out from behind the tone curtain to give you some movement.
