by the expression pedal, push the Value encoder when
it displays “EP SET” and it will then display “HEEL”.
Turn the knob(s) to the position desired at heel
down on the expression pedal. Then, turn the Value
encoder right to display”TOE” and set the knobs to
their desired values at the toe down position on the
expression pedal. An expression pedal can control all
of the knobs simultaneously.

A full featured Chorus with 5 distinct modes. dBucket, Multi and
Vibrato all utilize our dBucket variable clock technology for classic
analog bucket brigade style chorusing. dBucket utilizes a single LFO
while Multi utilizes multiple LFOs simultaneously for a distinctly rich
sounding chorus. Vibrato is a pitch modulation effect reminiscent of
bucket brigade style pitch modulation effects. The Detune and Digital
modes are clean digital chorus effects reminiscent of the rack effects
of the ‘80s. Detune applys a “thickening” effect to your signal while
Digital is a crystal clear chorusing algorithm.
PARAMETERS:
MODE: Selects the current Chorus algorithm. Each algorithm
is completely unique in its sonic character.

MIX: Sets the Mix of the wet Chorus signal relative to the

Mod Machines: Chorus Continued
TIPS & TRICKS:
dBCKET mode covers the sounds of the classic analog choruses
from the 1970’s. Turn the DEPTH Knob to 12:00 and the MIX
parameter at around 80% for the coveted large-box chorus sound.
Turn the MIX back to half-way to experience the sound of the first
compact chorus pedal.
MULTI mode’s three dBucket modulated-delay- lines allow for
super-lush modulation at high mix and depth levels without
excessive ‘warble’. If you have a stereo rig, you owe it to yourself to
check this out. Try preset 00A for starters.
VIBRTO mode uses our dBucket and variable-clock technology to
capture the warmth of old-school stomp circuits. Set the MIX param
to maximum for pure vibrato. Reduce the MIX to add some dry signal
to give a vibrato-influenced chorus.
DETUNE mode mixes a pitch-detuned signal with the dry input to
create a chorus that doesn’t use an LFO. The SPEED knob controls
the pitch shift from -25 cents to +25 cents, while the DEPTH knob
adds a widening or doubling effect as it is turned up for a distinctive
‘80s feel. Set MIX to 50% for the fullest effect.
DIGITL mode uses a classic modulated digital delay line to produce
clean, pristine, unadulterated chorus tones. Set MIX to 50% for
traditional digital chorus sounds.

MANUAL: Controls the delay time of the flanger. Higher settings

Mod Machines: Flanger Continued
TIPS & TRICKS:
SILVER mode creates textured, airy flanging. Turn up the Depth and
Regen params to add color to stacatto rhythm parts, or turn back for
a mellower chorus-like effect.
GREY mode’s logarithmic LFO creates a dramatic sweep that lingers
at the higher registers when the DEPTH knob is high and the speed
is slow. Increase the REGEN parameter to intensify the effect.
BLACK mode’s super-wide sweep creates a signature ‘swoop’ at
high depth settings. At fast speeds, this mode will get crazy.
In the ZERO modes with the MANUAL parameter at minimum, the
‘top’ of the sweep just passes through zero. Increasing the MANUAL
parameter moves the sweep even further past zero. Increase the
DEPTH to add lower frequency flanging at the ‘bottom’ of the sweep.

A recreation of the late ‘60s “vibe” circuit which was one of the first
modulation effects of its time. A staple in classic rock lead guitar of
the era and originally intended to be a recreation of a rotary speaker
sound, the vibe has its own unique niche in the world of modulation.
PARAMETERS:

and duty cycle.
HEADROOM: Adjusts the amount of distortion within the vibe
circuitry. Set to maximum for the cleanest vibe tones,
and dial back to add the feel and grit of dirtier vibe
tones.
MODE: Toggles the vibe mode between vibe (vibrato) and
chorus.
Vibrato
Chorus
|||||||||
+ | | -
LOW END CONTOUR: Allows for shaping the low-end from full low-
end to progressive high-passing.
TIPS & TRICKS:
The DEPTH knob changes the character of the VIBE from a smooth
pulsing to a warbled undulation, most noticeable at slower speeds.
For maximum throb, set the LO END param to the ‘+’ side.
The quintessential VIBE sound occurs in the VIBE machine’s
CHORUS mode. This mode combines the input signal with the wet
effect signal, producing the psychedelic phasey sound. The vintage
vibe effects had a switch that removed the unaffected dry signal from
the output, which results in a unique ‘phase-shift vibrato’. Select the
VIBRTO mode for this vibrato effect. Try setting the WAVSHP param
to maximum to get some vintage-amp-inspired vibrato mojo.

TIPS & TRICKS: With the MODE set to WAH and the DEPTH knob

When using the Env+ or Env- waveshapes, adjust the DEPTH knob
to set the response of the filter to your playing dynamics. Try higher
DEPTH for weaker input signals, or back it off with hotter inputs.
The SPEED knob controls how quickly the filter follows the envelope.
Set high for funky single line riffs, or lower for smoother response
for rhythm work. Add some dry signal to make more subtle filtering
effects.
