Zorg Effects Zorgtaver User manual

Zorgtaver
user's manual.
Please read carefully this manual, there's some hidden features you must know and important
information to help you protect your ears.
Please feed the pedal with a 9v center negative power supply. It'll need 130m maximum.
About the Zorgtaver sound:
The Zorgtaver has been designed to be a fat and acid octaver. It can generate smooth octaves, but
also edgy, raw, saturated octaves, or 8bits-like sounds, and be pretty bad. The key is to experiment
in between different mix and filtering of the octaves.
The Zorgtaver is good for any instrument: bass, guitar, trumpets, synths, flutes...
Oh, you should know that the Zorgtaver is 100% analog. Thus there might be some slight bad
triggering with low frequency input. Remember: You'll get the best triggering with a clean sound
from the neck pickup on stringed instruments.
A loop??? WTF!?
So you'll get the best triggering with a clean sound. But what if you want to add octaves to... let's
say... a fuzz sound!? This is what's the loop is for: plug you favorite fuzz in the loop and you'll be
able to trig on a clean sound ND add the octave to the sound out of your fuzz. But there's a
drawback: your fuzz will be available only for the Zorgtaver and will be bypassed when bypassing
the Zorgtaver...

What are these knobs for?
VOL: Sets the overall volume of the pedal.
TONE: This is a low pass filter, it will smooth the sound or remove the treble. It affects only the
sum of the two octaves and square signal and not the dry signal.
TRIG: djusts the trig sensibility to your pickups/input with this knob. It'll also shape an envelope
to the Sq/-1/-2 signal. Low values may cause some gate on the octaves signals. High values will
cause endless sustain on octaves but it may trig to the octave up and be glitchy. The perfect value
is in between depending on your pickups and taste. Use your ears to get what you like. Remember
triggering is better with a clean neck sound and can be shitty with low frequencies notes.
Then the others four knobs are used to mix the octaves and dry signal together:
DRY: Set the amount of dry signal in the mix. If there's a pedal in the zorgtaver's loop, the dry
sound is what comes out of it. If there's no pedal, the dry sound is what arrives at the input of the
Zorgtaver
SQ: Set the amount of square signal, or fuzz in the mix. Think of the square signal as a heavily
distorted version of the input signal (I mean NOT the one from the loop).
-1: Set the amount of the signal one octave below.
-2: Set the amount of the signal two octaves below.
-1LPF, -2LFP, SLPF switches: these switches toggle separatly a low pass filter on each one of the 3
corresponding signals: square, -1 octave, -2 octaves. The thing is, the square and octaves are
square signals, and thus can be really rich in harmonics: the sound is fat and yet can be very nasty.
Turning the LPFs on will smooth the sound (The signal will be almost a triangle). Classic octavers
sounds are achieved with these LPFs on.
