Thanks for purchasing the Hammertone Chorus —
a classic modulation effect that adds depth,
dimension and texture to your sound.
Fine-tune the chorus character with depth, rate
and level controls, and use the Type and Tone
switches to tailor and multiply chorus effects even
more. Chorus is an indespensible effect in the
arsenal of any guitarist and bassist, and the
Hammertone Chorus puts this time-honored
time-shifting effect at your feet in every shade
from subtle to striking.
HAMMERTONE CHORUS

OUTPUT JACK
Low-impedance output connects to amp or next pedal in signal chain.
INPUT JACK
High-impedance input for electric guitar, bass, acoustic guitars with
pickup systems, keyboards and other instruments.
DC POWER CONNECTOR
Connect DC adapter here. Standard center-negative 9VDC jack for use
with appropriate power supplies.
DEPTH CONTROL KNOB
Adjusts amount of pitch shift in the doubled sound, which gives the
chorus effect its signature quavering quality. Set lower for more subtle
chorus effect; set higher for more pronounced chorus effect.
RATE CONTROL KNOB
Adjusts rate, or modulation speed, of chorus effect. Set lower for a
slower and more gradual chorus effect; set higher for faster and more
vibrato-like chorus effect.
LEVEL CONTROL KNOB
Turn to set level of chorus effect. This adjusts the ratio between the
original and doubled signals. Set lower for a less-pronounced amount
of chorus; set higher for heavier chorus effect.
TYPE SWITCH
Three-postion switch for choosing single-, two- and four-voice
choruses. Single-voice mode (up) is most like a traditional analog
chorus. Two-voice mode (middle) adds another voice with more delay
and modulation. Four-voice mode (down) adds two more voices with
additional delay. Base delay times for the four delays are 14mS, 23mS,
29mS and 35mS. As chorus voices are added, pedal automatically
drops level of the other voices so that volume stays the same while
changing modes.

TONE SWITCH
Down position filters low end for a cleaner chorus effect that sits better
in some mixes; up position delivers an unfiltered, thicker chorus sound.
LED
Illuminates when effect is on.
FOOTSWITCH
Turns effect on and off.
