User manual MARSHALL EFFECT PEDAL VT-1 VIBRATREM

[. . . ] For over 40 years the Marshall name has been synonymous with the greatest guitar tones in music. We have worked hand in hand with guitarists from all levels throughout the world to maintain and improve that special ingredient, `The Marshall Sound. ' WARNING Do not expose the apparatus to rain or moisture. Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. [. . . ] It should be remembered though that these are only suggested settings and you should really take the time to experiment. If you take the time to explore the different effects within the Vibratrem, you won't be disappointed. Although it may seem obvious the first action in achieving a good effected sound (be it duration / compression etc. ) is to find the perfect bypassed sound. This will then allow the correct level to be set with the effect unit to allow a cut or boost in volume and a realistic tone. On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume) to a setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to get unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal shaping on the amplifier preamp. Features 1. `Out 2' Jack Socket The Vibratrem is a stereo footpedal. If you are using the Vibratrem in a stereo configuration this Jack socket is for your second output. 2. `Out 1 - Mono' Jack Socket This is the main output of the Vibratrem and is for connection to the amplifier or to another effects pedal. 3. Mode Setting Up Always use good quality shielded leads. Always use 9V regulated DC supply with centre negative. 2 3 ENGLISH This allows you to switch between the Vibratrem's two modes, Vibrato and Tremolo. Tremolo - refers to change in signal volume. In Tremolo mode the signal increases and decreases at a role governed by the speed control. The tremolo on the VT-1 is specially designed to recreate the natural swell and decay of a valve-based tremolo as found on many vintage valve amplifiers. Vibrato - By phase shifting the effected signal with respect to direct, uneffected signal, a subtle pitch shifting vibrato is created. The vibrato on the VT-1 has been developed to closely mimic the vibrato settings on certain vintage valve amplifiers. Note: the stereo output remains unchanged (i. e. Speed Alters the speed of the modulation of the effect. Turn the control anti-clockwise and the effect will slow down. Conversely, turn the control clockwise and the modulation of the effect will increase in speed.
