STEREO CLONE THEORY
Congratulations! You have just purchased the CLONE THEORY, one of the
most lush, deep and warm CHORUS/VIBRATO ever made, now in stereo.
The CLONE THEORY’s depth and rate controls swing from one extreme to
the other, giving the user an entire realm of possibility for tone. Use both
stereo outputs and completely surround yourself with sweet warm Electro-
Harmonix tone.
-CONTROLS-
MODE SWITCH – The CLONE THEORY has two CHORUS modes and one
VIBRATO made. IN CHR 1 mode, you can control the rate of modulation
using the RATE control, but the DEPTH is preset to what we consider the
perfect chorus. This means the DEPTH control is inactive. IN CHR 2 mode
you have full control of your chorus tone. The RATE control adjusts the rate
of modulation and the DEPTH control adjusts the depth of modulation. In
VIBR mode, the dry voice is taken away, changing the effect from CHORUS
to VIBRATO. In VIBR mode you have full control. The RATE control adjusts
the VIBRATO’s rate of modulation and the DEPTH control adjusts the
VIBRATO’s modulation depth.
RATE CONTROL– Adjusts the RATE of modulation.
DEPTH CONTROL– Adjusts the modulation depth. Inactive preset) in CHR
1 mode.
FOOTSWITCH – Selects whether the CLONE THEORY is engaged or in True
BYPASS. The corresponding LED will be lit when the pedal is engaged, and
dark when True Bypassed. In True Bypass, the input signal is connected
directly to both the MAIN and STEREO output jacks.
INPUT JACK – This ¼” jack is the audio input to the CLONE THEORY.
MAIN OUTPUT JACK – This ¼” jack is the main audio output from the
CLONE THEORY. Use this jack from mono operation. When the CLONE
THEORY is in True Bypass mode, the MAIN OUTPUT jack is connected
directly to the INPUT jack.

STEREO OUTPUT JACK – This ¼” jack is the second audio output from the
CLONE THEORY. When the CLONE THEORY is in True Bypass mode, the
STEREO OUTPUT jack is also connected directly to the INPUT jack.
A NOTE ABOUT STEREO OPERATION: The STEREO OUTPUT is 180o out
of phase from the MAIN OUTPUT. This means that the extremes of the
modulation will be heard at opposite moments at each output. Try plugging
the CLONE THEORY in to two amplifiers one from each output) and notice
the panning effect between the two amplifiers. Control the panning using
RATE and DEPTH.
-OPERATION AND WARNINGS-
Power, from the internal 9-volt battery or external battery eliminator, is
activated by plugging into the input. The input cable should be removed
when the unit is not in use to avoid running down the battery. The input
impedance presented at the Input Jack is 480 kohms. The output impedance
at both the Main and Stereo Output Jacks is 300 ohms.
The barrel connector on the front of the CLONE THEORY is for a 9-volt
battery eliminator capable of delivering 100 mA of current. The inner ring of
the 9-volt battery eliminator must be negative, the outer ring positive. The
unit’s battery may be left in or taken out when the eliminator is in use.
To change the 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom
