DVK Technologies Silver Top User manual

CONTROLS
Rate: The Rate knob controls the rate/speed of the modula-
tion in the vibe/chorus circuit. Turning it clockwise will make
the rate faster.
Depth: The Depth knob lets you dial in the amount or ‘depth’
-
pronounced.
Chorus/Vibe toggle: This switch lets you choose between
about the chorus sound you may be thinking of; this one has
more to do with swishy psychedelia than 80’s pop hits. ;)
Drive: The Drive knob lets you determine how much
dirt or drive you want to add to your signal. In the fully
anti-clockwise position it will be almost transparently
clean. Winding it clockwise will increase the amount of
drive or distortion.
Level: The Level knob controls the overall output of
the overdrive circuit only.

THE SILVERTOP is a dual function pedal featuring our take on a classic overdrive and vibe. The circuits can be engaged
separately or used together for some great modulated drive tones. Additionally, we have provided a toggle switch that lets

wider tonal pallet. It can be used as an almost clean boost or medium crunch machine and everything in between. Of course,
the amount of drive it generates will depend largely on the pickups in your guitar. For instance, low output single coil pickups
will yield less distortion than high-output humbuckers.

cally voiced for the SilverTop. You may be aware of the SilverTop’s sister pedal, The GoldTop. The GoldTop’s vibe has been
well. While similar, both have been optimized to compliment their respective distortion circuits.
Because The SilverTop features two circuits (overdrive and vibe) you can combine the two, in any order, at your whim. Doing
so will avail you a huge array of sonic possibilities that stretches from Woodstock to Wollongong (Google it). You’ve just got
to experiment and have fun!

swoosh and kick in the Overdrive for grind. Keeping
the tone down low will give it some darkness.
NECK FREAK
Use your guitar’s neck pickup on this one for some
psyched blues licks. Bring the Vibe to take it to that
other dimension..
BLUESVILLE
Cranking the Overdrive’s Level and keeping the Drive
and Tone down low will result in a nice loud but not
too dirty bluesy tone. Ride your guitar’s volume for
even more dynamics and kick in the Vibe/Chorus to
take it to another place.
