The WAVE Function –
the WAVE knob sets the waveform of the Single Sideband
Modulators in UB/LB mode. At the center position (12 o’ clock) the modulator is a
sine wave. Turning WAVE counter-clockwise adds a 2
nd
harmonic to the sine wave,
turning the WAVE knob clockwise adds a 3
rd
harmonic to the sine wave.
Using an External Oscillator -
To use an external oscillator (such as another
instrument, recording or mic pre output) as the carrier signal for UB and LB modes,
turn the WAVE knob fully counter-clockwise and plug the output of the oscillator into
the MOD Input jack.
Using an Expression Pedal –
Plug an expression pedal into the EXP ¼” Jack to
control the Modulation Frequency. Turn the FINE knob fully counter-clockwise to
enable the expression pedal. The COARSE knob sets the range at the toe-down
position.
Troubleshooting –
Not hearing the Single Sideband Modulators or just something
unexpected? Check to make sure that the BLEND knob is 50% or higher and that the
FILTER/RATE knob is not turned to full counter-clockwise.
BASIC SETTINGS FOR PITCH SHIFT MODE
–
All incoming notes are shifted by the
same factor in Pitch Shift mode.
1.
Connect the Ring Thing as described in Basic Amplifier Connection Setup.
2.
Press the BYPASS footswitch so the STATUS LED is on
3.
Press the MODE knob so that ALL LEDs are lit: Pitch-Shift.
4.
Turn the following knobs to 50% or 12 o’clock: WAVE and FINE/DEPTH.
5.
Turn the BLEND and COARSE knobs fully clockwise.
6.
Turn the FILTER/RATE knob fully counter-clockwise, internal modulation will be
off.
7.
If an expression pedal is plugged in set it to the toe down position.
8.
To change the Pitch Shift frequency, turn the FINE and/or COARSE knobs. The
COARSE knob has a range of +/- 2 octaves set in discrete steps. Use the FINE
knob to access tunings in between these discrete steps.
Using Internal Modulation on Pitch Shift –
the WAVE knob sets the
waveform of the internal modulator in Pitch Shift mode. To enable modulation in this
mode, the FILTER/RATE knob must be turned up from full counter-clockwise. Once
the FILTER/RATE knob is turned up from zero, the FINE/DEPTH knob changes its
function from FINE to modulation DEPTH. The FILTER/RATE knob sets the RATE of
the modulation and the FINE/DEPTH knob becomes modulation DEPTH. Starting from
full counter-clockwise, the modulation waveforms are: SQUARE, SINE, RAMP DOWN,
RAMP UP, and TRIANGLE.
