1 | OVERVIEW
Chroma Console is a flexible multi-effect pedal that takes inspiration from the eccentricity,
grit, and lively instability of beloved vintage recording technology, combines it with brand
new sounds, and delivers it all through an intuitive user interface that puts wide-ranging
sonic experimentation at your fingertips.
You can easily re-order the effects and experiment with different signal chains—process
reverb through a fuzz, run a reverse delay into a pitch shifter, or run the evocative, gritty
sound of an aging cassette recorder into a stereo double-tracker. You can use one module
to overdrive another, and the entire signal chain can even be pushed into gentle soft
clipping when approaching the headroom limit.
Before you get started, be sure to calibrate Chroma Console to your instrument so that
it can match the effects to your signal level and make experimentation easy. We suggest
starting with Mix at 100%, as that represents the simplest signal path through the effects
modules. Next, try tapping the buttons to advance through the different effects in each
module.
Once you’ve found a signal chain you like, try using the GESTURE feature, a hands-on
sound design tool that lets you record and automate knob movements to quickly and
easily create complex, evolving textures with no additional programming or menu diving
required.
Then try creating ambient pads or layer looped phrases using CAPTURE, Chroma
Console’s combination looper/sustainer.
When you’ve got something interesting happening, you can capture a snapshot and save
up to 80 user presets for immediate recall. You can dive back into your collection of
experiments and happy accidents later, just as you remember them.
