THE CONTROLS
DEPTH sets the amount, or the modulation
depth, of the chorus effect. Note that when
this control is in minimum position, the
Speed control has no effect.
SPEED controls the speed of the effect. Use this
control in combination with the Depth control
to fine-tune your personal sound.
FLANGE - This mode set can be used for the
typical flanged sound effect. The Red Twister
Flange mode is perfectly suited for guitar.
HEAVY - This position gives the most apparent
chorus effect with the delay time fine tuned
for guitar. This position is useful for creating
sounds with huge, wide chorus timbres,
especially when the pedal is connected to a
stereo system.
SOFT - This is a smooth chorus mode,
especially useful for more subtle chorus
effects.
LED INDICATOR Indicates dynamically the speed
of the chorus, controlled by the Speed knob.
FOOT SWITCH Switches the pedal on or off.

EFFECT MIX LEVEL
The EBS Red Twister pedal is equipped with
an effect mix trimmer, FX MIX, for further
fine-tuning your sound.
This function makes it possible adjust the
amount of the pure chorus signal to mix in
with the normal ”bypassed ” sound. The
range can be set from 0% to 100% mix,
where 0% is off. The factory setting for this
trimmer is set to 50%.
The trimmer is located on the printed
circuit board, and is easily accessible by
removing the bottom plate. When doing
any adjustments, please use a plastic
screwdriver, and turn this trimmer gently.
!If you are not 100% sure on how to do this, please consult your nearest service
center. Excessive force may result in damage to the unit, and the warranty in that
case will be void.
