The Pentavocal Tremolo
My heartiest congratulations to you for purchasing a Red Witch Pentavocal Tremolo!
The device you are now holding in your hands offers several unique features, which you cannot
find anywhere else. I strongly recommend that you read on to discover the full potential of your new pedal!
Controls
Velocity
‐ This dial allows you to select the speed of the tremolo. From Super Slow to Super Fast.
Depth
‐ Allows you to control the depth of the effected sound (how ironic).
Volume
‐ Select from zero output to well above unity gain ‐ this enables you to never be faced with the heinous volume drop
that many trem pedals have when they're providing really deep tremming.
Bottom
‐ Yes
–
we’ve labeled one of the controls bottom –
not out of homage to a British comedy series or to the shapely
derrière of the fairer sex, but as a totally new option for tremolo users.
The Bottom control allows the user to dial in the amount of mid range and hi frequency cut or low frequency cut that occurs
as the volume decreases in the trem cycle. Simply put; Turn the bottom control all the way to the left and as volume decreases
all the low end disappears, but set it all the way to the right and you’ll find that
as the volume decreases all of the hi end and midrange disappears. Set it to the center and you’ll find that it operates a
normal trem would
–
the volume drops across all frequencies. You can of course dial in as little or as much of this effect as you
like. Turning the Bottom control fully clockwise whilst having the depth fully
clockwise also allows you to access an asymmetrical wave which sounds incredibly pretty at high velocity.
Lucky old you.
Voicing
‐ A five way rotary switch that lets you choose from 5 differently voiced tremolo settings. Low and throbby to high
and shimmery.
Tremulate Footswitch
‐ Bring the effect into the signal path by clicking this one. Truebypass switching.
Wave Footswitch
‐ Allows you to jump from a lovely smooth tremolo over to a hard square chop by simply depressing your
foot
….
Bad foot, ugly, good for nothing foot..stinky foot.
Power
‐ The Pentavocal trem can be powered from either a nine volt battery or an external nine volt adapter (Boss PSA
styled is ideal ‐ though anything with a 2.1mm barrel plug with a negative center pin is fine.). This pedal uses some sneaky
circuitry to lift the internal voltage up to 17 regulated volts ‐ the benefit of
this is far greater headroom. You must not run any DC power supply with an output of more than 11 volts into the unit. The
unit is current hungry
–
we recommend using a power adapter rather than batteries.
Keep it clean ‐ only use a soft dry cloth on your pedals finish ‐ abrasives will ruin the chrome and speed up the wear on the
lettering. The lettering will wear off eventually, be prepared for this ‐ ensure you have enough canned goods and fresh
drinking water
Do Not Treat it rough ‐ This includes; immersing it in beer or other liquids, throwing it at stuff or people, rewiring it, setting it
on fire or using it as a weapon. It is a tough pedal but everything lasts a little longer with a little love.
