GUIDED TOUR
The following steps guide you through the sonic palette of Gloamer and show you how to get at the
range of tones that it has to offer.
1. Set all of the controls fully counter-clockwise and set the toggles to the right. The Ready light should
be lit, but the other LEDs should be off. The Gloamer is in bypass mode. Play your instrument and
make sure a clean sound is passing through the pedal.
2. Turn the Volume and Sensitivity controls up to 3:00. Click the Engage footswitch to turn the Gloamer
on. Play your instrument.
3. Turn the Blend knob up cull clockwise.
4. Turn up the Compression control to hear the compressor/sustain effect.
5. Set the Attack dial to 12:00. Play a chord and notice how it swells in from silence up to full
volume.
Note: Once the attack cycle has been triggered, the musician must mute their instrument in order
to reset the attack cycle. When the instrument is muted, the Ready light comes on, letting the
musician know that the attack function is armed. The touch sensitive nature of the attack function
lets the player control the threshold between the volume attack effect and a pure compression
sound with playing dynamics and muting technique.
Note: Lower Sensitivity settings will require less muting, however the attack function can reset
prematurely if the Sensitivity is set too low.
6. Turn the Blend knob down to 12:00 and listen to the volume swell in parallel with the clean sound.
7. Turn the Blend knob back up to full clockwise.
8. Turn on the Decay footswitch and set the Attack and Decay dials to 9:00. Play a chord and notice
how the audio swells in and then fades out based on the knob settings. Try different combinations
of Attack and Decay settings in conjunction with various settings of the Blend knob.
