EFFECT TYPES:VIBRATO

Vibrato

Introduction

The Vibrato effect modulates the pitch of the incoming signal. The result is similar to the vibrato technique used by vocalists. In contrast to a Chorus or Flanger effect, no direct signal is combined with the pitch- modulated signal.

DEPTH Knob

Use the DEPTH knob to specify the intensity of the effect. The setting represents the amplitude of the modulating waveform.

The higher the amplitude the more the pitch is modulated.

SPEED Knob

Use the SPEED knob to set the speed of the effect.

TIME FILTER Knob

This knob sets the Ramp time in when +VARIATION is activated. Read more below.

SHAPE/FEED Knob

Use the SHAPE/FEED knob to set the frequency of the high-cut filter applied to the signal. Adding high-cut on a vibrato results in a more subtle, vintage sounding effect.

VARIATION Button

With the VARIATION button activated, you can hold the TAP TEMPO switch to activate/deactivate the Vibrato function AND the “Ramp” function. In this mode, the TAP TEMPO button works as a latching switch for turning the effect on/off.

The Ramp Function:

When you have activated the Ramp function, you can press and hold the TAP TEMPO switch to start the vibrato with only little depth and “ramp up” until the maximum vibrato setting is achieved. You can set the maximum vibrato depth using the DEPTH knob. Set the Ramp Time using the TIME/FILTER knob.
