Both bypass methods have pros and cons associated with them. Buffered bypass provides consistent
input impedance so that if the source is susceptible to variations in input impedance (similar to a
guitar pickup), there won’t be a noticeable change in tone. True bypass has the benefit of providing a
dedicated hardwired bypass signal path. The Vertigo features small-signal relays for true bypass
switching that offer reduced pops and clicks compared to the traditional true bypass switching
method using a mechanical switch.
Stereo Routing
The Vertigo works great as a mono tremolo effect, but its stereo inputs and outputs also make it a
true stereo effect as well as a flexible signal router. It can act as a stereo splitter, merger, or true
stereo effect, and it can also be set up in a number of other unique signal routing modes. By default,
the Vertigo works in true stereo mode (input 1 goes to output 1, and input 2 goes to output 2). To
configure a different stereo routing mode, use the USB editor software or the Neuro App.
A few different routing options are displayed below. The right side of each diagram shows inputs 1
and 2, the left side shows outputs 1 and 2, and tremolo effects A and B are in the center.
Many more routing options are possible. Check the USB Editor or Neuro App for more details.
Parametric EQ
The Vertigo features a built-in 4 band parametric EQ that can be configured using the Neuro App or
the USB Editor. Different EQ settings can be saved for each of the three effect types, as well as for
the user preset.
The EQ consists of four independently configurable bands:
Band 1:
Low Shelf
Band 2:
Peaking (a.k.a. Bell / Band)
Band 3:
Peaking (a.k.a. Bell / Band)
Band 4:
High Shelf
Each band has configurable frequency, boost/cut, and Q (bandwidth).
