Connecting and powering:
The power supply needs to be 9V/100ma center negative like the common BOSS power supplies
Make sure the polarity of your power supply is correct or it will damage the pedal. Do NOT run at higher voltages.
Since the pedal has a digital microprocessor operating with high frequencies, you might hear some high pitched noise if
you use it together on the same power supply with other pedals (daisy chained) even when it is off. The noise can bleed
through the power supply into the other pedal’s signal. This is normal for such devices. It might not be the case in your
particular setup but if you notice that, I would suggest using an isolated power supply for the tremolo.

Controls:
ON : Turn on the effect or bypass it.
TAP: Tap in the desired tempo
Tremolo Type
Classic : Bass and treble modulated in phase
Harmonic : Bass and treble modulated out of phase
Bass Only : Bass modulation only, with fix treble
Treble Only :Treble modulation only, with fix bass
Tone adjusts the balance between the bass and treble portions. Turn it fully CCW and only the bass comes out. Turn it
fully CW and you get only treble. In the middle you get both. If you turn down the depth completely you can use the
tone knob as a sort of EQ
epth Allows setting the depth of the modulation
Rate Sets the speed of the modulation

Symmetry Allows changing the ratio between the upper and lower wave of the LFO signal For example, when using the
square wave, you can set whether the “off” or the “on” periods are the longest.

Shape This knob allows selecting one of the 8 available modulation wave shapes

Multiplier allows to select the multiplier that will be applied to the tapped tempo

Biasing:
The pedal was biased to provide the best possible sweep and no volume difference between bypass and effect. You may
want to adjust the overall volume to suit your needs though.
It can be done with this internal trimmer
Please do not touch any of the other trimmers. There is no benefit to be had from that as they were set up with a careful
bias process. You might make your pedal stop working correctly. So promise, only touch the trimmer marked in the red
square ;-)
Notes about the pedal:
As with any tremolo pedal, if you are after choppy on/off action, you will get better results placing it after dirt pedals.
That is mainly for the classic tremolo mode.
Given the filtering nature of the harmonic mode, you might find that it sounds more natural before dirt.
The bass and treble only modes might be perceived as being slightly louder than the other modes. You can compensate
that with the tone knob.
But all that is just a matter of taste and you should experiment and find out what works best for you.
