A Closer Look at the Chrome Tone Stack
The Chrome Tone Stack configuration is a combination of the
Wah, Tremolo, Amp, and Chorus configurations, grouped into
pages of controls. Each control page is setup exactly as the
individual configurations. Page selector and bypass controls
are found in the upper left hand corner of the user interface.
Clicking the Page labels displays the controls for that page.
Clicking the LED under each Page label enables (or disables)
that section of the Stack configuration.
The Chrome Tone Stack’s Wah, Trem, and Chorus sections use the same Dynamic and Auto sections found in the
individual configurations to modulate the gain in its tremolo circuit. For a detailed description of the Dynamic and
Auto sections, refer to the ‘Closer Look at the Chrome Tone Wah’ portion of this manual.
The Chrome Tone About Box contains information on the Stack and Amp configuration flow diagrams. The About Box
can be accessed by clicking the version text in the user interface of any Chrome Tone configuration.

Note how the Low Cut Filter and Noise Gate
from the Amp section are still the first effects in
the signal chain. Removal of unwanted noise
is critical before such a long series of effects is
processed. The Wah and Tremolo sections are
placed in front of the Compressor and Sustainer
sections, as well as the Distortion and EQ
sections. The Chorus and Reverb are last in the
signal chain.
