Introducing the DELUXE61
The DELUXE61 is an all-analogue amp recreation which captures the thick overdrive tones and beautiful bias
tremolo of the revered Fender®Brown Deluxe amp. We have gone to great lengths to recreate every detail
of this iconic amplier, bringing you the tones, feel and response of this classic combo in one industrial-grade
pedal.
First released in 1961, this modest, little amp is still one of history’s most sought-after guitar tones, thanks
largely to its tremolo circuit. Bias tremolo is considered by many to be the most musical of all the tremolo types
due to its natural, pulsating character. Because the tremolo acts on the amp’s output valves, overdriven sounds
will let you “play through” the tremolo. The eect disappears when you pick hard, slowly fading back in as the
note dies away – you can control the tremolo eect with your picking dynamics or your guitar’s volume knob!
The DELUXE61’s circuit includes an entire push-pull output stage, complete with an output transformer and
reactive load, which means this pedal’s tremolo is every bit as responsive as the real thing – but with the added
versatility of tap tempo and a speed multiplier switch.
With our powerful Post-Drive EQ, the warm cleans and gritty overdrive of the DELUXE61 will always sound
their best, whether it’s plugged into an amp, a at power amp or direct to a recording interface or PA.

Connecting the DELUXE61
9VDC: Connect a 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative mains power adaptor (minimum 100mA).
INSTR: Connect to your guitar, bass or other instrument.
AMP OUT: Connect to your amp or power amp.
F/SWITCH: Connect to an external footswitch or eects switching system to allow control over the following:
Tap Tempo - this sets the tremolo speed remotely by sensing the time between two pulses. The tap
rate will be multiplied by the setting of the MULTI toggle switch.
TREM - the tremolo enable function can be switched from the F/SWITCH jack as well as from the
stomp switch, allowing recall over a range of sounds.
The F/SWITCH input is wired as follows:
CONNECTOR PIN FUNCTION
Tip Tap Function
Ring Tremolo Enable
Sleeve Ground
The Tap Tempo function can also be used by connecting a momentary footswitch via a TS jack.
Effects Switching Systems: When connecting eects switching systems such as the Boss®ES-8 or
The GigRig G2 using a TRS lead, the tip should be congured for momentary operation to send tempo pulses, while
the ring should be set for latching operation. Both functions are activated by shorting the respective pin to the sleeve
(ground) pin.

Main Controls
ON (footswitch): Turns the pedal on and o. When the pedal is engaged, the LED will illuminate. When
the tremolo is active, the LED will ash green (at the tremolo speed). When the tremolo is bypassed, the
LED will light up red. Please note: as the tremolo is part of the emulated amp circuitry, it cannot be activated
independently.
DRIVE: The DRIVE control behaves like the volume knob on a vintage non-master-volume guitar amplier.
Set anticlockwise for clean sounds, or turn it up for more overdrive.
TONE: Turn the TONE knob clockwise for a brighter sound. Turn anticlockwise to tame highs. True to the
simple but eective tone controls found on small Fender® amps from the Tweed and Brown eras, the DRIVE
and TONE controls are highly interactive. At lower DRIVE settings, the TONE knob will boost high frequen-
cies above the 12 o’clock poisition and cut highs below 12 o’clock. With DRIVE pushed past 12 o’clock, the
TONE control progressively loses the ability to boost until, with DRIVE at maximum, it’s essentially a high cut
control.
OUTPUT: The output control sets the pedal’s overall output level. This control comes after the pedal’s
simulated valve amp circuitry, meaning that you can adjust output level without aecting the tone or character
of the overdrive.
SPEED: Turn clockwise to increase the rate of the tremolo eect. The range of the SPEED control is set by
the three-position MULTI switch.
INTENSITY: The INTENSITY knob controls the depth of the tremolo – in other words, how much the
tremolo will vary the amplitude of the signal. Turn clockwise to increase the depth of the eect.

POST-DRIVE EQ Controls
The POST-DRIVE EQ ensures compatibility with a wide range of ampliers. Instead of altering your amp or
its tone controls to suit the DELUXE61, set your amp for the desired clean sound then use the EQ controls
to tailor the pedal’s output accordingly.
POST-DRIVE EQ switch: This switch oers a choice of three dierent output lters.
P/AMP: Use this setting when plugging into a at-response power amp, mixer or recording interface. Select-
ing the P/AMP setting disengages the ADJ variable lter control (see below).
EQ1: Designed to suit the response of a Black Panel Fender®-style amp, EQ1 applies a low-pass lter to roll
o excessive highs. Use this setting when plugging into a bright-voiced guitar amp.
EQ2: Voiced for connecting to a Marshall®-style amp, EQ2 applies a high shelf cut to gently rein in high fre-
quencies. Use this setting when plugging into a fuller-sounding, mid-rich amp.
MULTI: The MULTI switch multiplies the tremolo speed set by the SPEED knob (x1, x2 or x3). This is par-
ticularly useful when using an external tap tempo footswitch, letting you set tremolo speeds much faster than
your foot can tap.
SHAPE: The SHAPE switch allows you to choose between two dierent LFO waveforms.
SINE WAVE (up) – This is the classic bias tremolo sound – ultra-smooth, rounded and musical.
FULL WAVE (down) – This setting uses an asymmetrical waveform with a ‘choppier’ feel. This
more obvious tremolo sound can be useful at slower speeds or when playing with more overdriven
sounds.

SettingYour POST-DRIVE EQ
Use the tables below to help you set up the DELUXE61 for the rst time with a new guitar amplier or
at-response device. Working through Steps 1 and 2 allows you to “set-and-forget” the POST-DRIVE EQ
controls and move on to having fun dialling in your ideal tone with the main controls.
Step 1: Set POST-DRIVE EQ switch for the connected amp or device.
AMPLIFIER OR CONNECTED DEVICE POST-DRIVE EQ SWITCH POSITION
Power amp & guitar speaker
Mixing desk & cabinet simulation
Recording interface & cabinate simulation
P/AMP
Bright, mid-scooped guitar amplier EQ1
Dark or mid-rich guitar amplier EQ2
Step 2: Fine-tune the POST-DRIVE EQ with the ADJ control*
HOW IS THE DELUXE61’s TONE? ADJ CONTROL POSITION
Too bright or thin Clockwise
Too dark or woolly Counterclockwise
Just right! Leave in this position and enjoy using the pedal!
*Please note: the ADJ control is not active when the POST-DRIVE EQ switch is in the P/AMP position.
ADJ: When EQ1 or EQ2 is selected, the ADJ knob lets you ne-tune the pedal’s output to suit the individ-
ual response of your amp and the way its controls are set. As you turn the ADJ knob counterclockwise, this
proprietary lter design gradually rolls o bass and adjusts the high shelf response. The end result is a very
powerful and intuitive control. If your amp sounds too bright or thin with the DELUXE61 engaged, turn the
ADJ control clockwise. If it sounds too dark and wooly, turn the ADJ control counterclockwise.

Sample Settings
Dynamic Deluxe
Inspired by our original 1961 Brown Deluxe. These
settings deliver a harmonically rich, dynamically
responsive tone. Set the SHAPE switch to the sine
position and the MULTI switch to X2 for an
authentic ‘60s American Tremolo eect.
On the Edge
These settings lend themselves to the interactive
drive tones of the DELUXE61. Vary your playing
dynamics to achieve both expressive cleans and
edge of breakup tones. The full-wave shape pro-
vides a less symmetrical, chopping tremolo eect.
Classic Tremolo
The DELUXE61 cleans up nicely, just like an amp!
In order to achieve a clean tremolo setting, dial
back the DRIVE control and compensate for any
loss of volume with the OUTPUT control. These
specic tremolo settings will deliver a slow, pulsat-
ing eect.
Deluxe Drive
Pure Texas blues rock overdrive. Pushing up the
DRIVE control introduces a harmonically rich,
driven tone that’s almost fuzz-like. Recreate that
‘cranked combo’ feel for chewy rhythm tones and
creamy leads.
