VibroPan ()
A vibrato is an effect that modulates the pitch of the incoming signal. This will take the whole
signal slightly in and out of tune at a steady pace. The DigiTech
®
VibroPan also incorporates an
automatic panner with the vibrato effect that creates a lush chorus-like sound.
Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn
counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post
(appears after the Noise Gate effect).
Speed - Knob 3 adjusts how fast the signal is being modulated.
Depth - Knob 4 adjusts the amount of pitch change.
Vibrato/Pan- Knob 5 adjusts the amount of panning incorporated with the vibrato effect.
When set at , this effect is a standard vibrato. As the parameter is turned up, the phase
difference of the vibrato signal sent to the two channels is changed until a full stereo image
is obtained at .
Waveform - Knob 6 selects a waveform: , , or .

Based on the Unicord
®
Uni-Vibe
TM
pedal, Uni-Vibe adds a lush chorus or rotary speaker (vi-
brato) effect to your tone.
Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn
counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post
(appears after the Noise Gate effect).
Speed - Knob 3 adjusts the rate (Speed) of the chorus modulation or spinning speaker
(vibrato) effect. Ranges from  to .
Intensity - Knob 4 controls the intensity of the effect. Ranges from  to .
Chorus/Vibrato - Knob 5 selects either the chorus or vibrato effect. Turn counter-
clockwise for Chorus, or clockwise for Vibrato.
Volume - Knob 6 adjusts the volume of the effect.
Tremolo/Panner
A Tremolo effect modulates the volume of the signal at an even rate. The RP500 includes the
following Tremolo types:  (the DigiTech
®
Tremolo),  (DigiTech Scattertrem

Bias Tremolo), and  (the DigiTech Panner).
Pre/Post Amp - Knob 2 determines where the effect appears in the effects chain. Turn
counter-clockwise for Pre (appears before the Distortion effect), or clockwise for Post
(appears after the Noise Gate effect).
Speed - Knob 3 adjusts the rate (Speed) at which the volume modulates. Ranges from 
to 
Depth - Knob 4 adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulating volume. Ranges from 
to .
