Connecting
Input jacks - Use MONO for mono input and both MONO
andSTEREOifconnectingastereosource.
If you run the pedal on battery, we recommend removing
the mono input jack to preserve battery power when you
don’t play.
Output jacks – Connect to another pedal or directly into
an amp or mixer. Use MONO for mono setups and both
MONOandSTEREOforstereosetups.
Notice that it is possible to select between true bypass and
buffered bypass mode via a dip switch located under the
battery cover.
Power in–Usea9VDCpowersupplywiththefollowing
symbol:

The Controls
FX LEVEL
Controlstheintensityofthechorus.Thechorusingeffectoccurswhenapitchmodulatedsignal–think
vibrato–isplayedadjacenttoacleansignal.Thereforethemaxchorusintensityisachievedata50%
wet/dry mix. With Corona, this is achieved by setting the FX level fully clock-wise.
SPEED
TheSPEEDknobsetsthechorusspeed–fromslowsmooth“Hi-Fi”tomuchmoresignificant“Leslie”
types at high speed.
DEPTH
DEPTHsetstherangeofthemodulation.ExperimentwithboththeSPEEDandDEPTHcontrolstoget
the effect you are looking for.
TONE
By adjusting the tone you can set how warm you chorus should sound. When using high settings on
bothspeedanddepthforthat“leslie-type”soundyoumightwanttoemphasizethelowerfrequencies
overthehigherones.TryturningTONEcounterclockwise.
CHORUS TYPE selector
TheChorusTypeselectorallowsyoutoselectbetweenthefollowingtypes:

TheTri-ChorusisavariationoftheregularChorusthatusesthreestereoChoruseswithvariousoffsets
for both depth, speed, phase, and chorus delay time to produce a unique, very broad and lush Chorus
sound.
