1.Depth – “How much tremolo would you like?”This wide-range control smoothly varies the tremolo effect from a subtle shimmer to an intense rhythmic pulse.

2.Shape – “When should the rise and fall occur?”This amazing control allows for the variation of tremolo rise and fall time (how fast or slow the volume increases and decreases) for unique percussion and “reverse decay” effects.

3.Wave – “What should the tremolo wave look like?”This continuously variable control takes you from a smooth sine wave of your favorite vintage amps, to a choppier triangular wave to an abrupt on/off pulse square wave.

4.Rate/Ratio Knob – “How fast am I going?”This knob carries two functions. When in “Rate” mode, this knob simply adjusts the rate of the tremolo effect. From one pulse per second to more than twenty per sec- ond, this is a continuously variable control. When in “Ratio” Mode, this control takes you through four tempo subdivisions: 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4x, or quarter-notes, eighth-notes, triplets, and sixteenth-notes.This is not a continuous control, but corresponds to the four distinct ratios marked on the outer band.

5.Rate/Ratio Mode Switch – “What will the Rate knob do?”This switch governs how the Rate/Ratio knob operates (see Rate/Ratio Knob description above).

6.Rate/Ratio Indicator Turns on when in “Ratio mode”.

7.TapTempo Footswitch – “Let me set the tempo.”This switch lets you match the tremolo rate to any song or groove on the fly by simply tapping along in time. Even if you’re in Rate Mode (as selected by the Rate/Ratio Mode Switch), you can override the Rate setting by tapping in a new tempo at any time (the default setting is eighth-notes, or two trem cycles per tap). If you’re in Ratio Mode, entering your tempo on theTapTempo Footswitch will default to the rhythmic subdivision the
