VARY: Adjusts the envelope control of the ladder filter. Beyond noon on the VARY knob,
the input signal opens the filter in direct response to the strength of your signal dynamics.
From noon to fully counterclockwise on the VARY knob, the filter reacts in the opposite
way – it closes in response to your playing dynamics. The further from noon on the Vary
knob, the more the filter responds to the envelope (input signal). Set VARY to noon
exactly for zero envelope involvement – a static or LFO-controlled filter.
FILTER: Adjusts the center-point frequency of the ladder LPF, which is fully closed when
FILTER is turned all the way to the right, and fully open (no audible filtering) when Filter is
turned to the left.
Bandwidth Switch: Switches between 3 pre-set Q (narrowness) options for the ladder
filter. The narrower the Q, the more dramatic, resonant and “peaky” the filter will sound.
OPTION Footswitch: Tap to switch the Delay effect ON/OFF.
VINYL
Drop the needle on yesteryear. This classic vinyl emulation wouldn’t be complete with
scratches and surface noise. Use the BANDWIDTH toggle to go from “180-gram vinyl
through a hi-fi receiver” to “old school Gramophone from your parents’ attic”. Add some
distortion and randomness with the VARY knob to get a more damaged sound. MOD
controls adjust the amount of warping and the RPMs. Tap the OPTION footswitch to be
reminded of what it sounds like to walk too close to your turntable.
DESTRUCT: Adjusts the noise level of the scratch & surface noise. Turn right for deeper
scratches and a dustier stylus.
VARY: Adjusts the amount of distortion and random quality of the modulated noise.
Maybe your record is warped in a few different places and sat out in the sun too long, but
you just can’t stop playing it.
FILTER: Adjusts the level of Treble in the signal. Noon on the dial is a flat treble response.
Bandwidth Switch: Limits the frequency response, altering the overall voicing of the
effect. Right = full bandwidth (no limiting), Center = some high-cut & low-cut, Left =
extreme high-cut & low-cut.
OPTION Footswitch: Tap to cause a skip in the vinyl player. Maybe you walked too close
to your turntable, or maybe your clumsy guest bumped into the tonearm.
