1. Detune Effects This group of effects creates a copy of your input signal shifts the pitch of the copied signal and mixes it back with the original signal As the Expression Pedal is rocked back and forth the amount of this detuned signal is changed With the pedal in the toe up position only the original dry signal is heard As the pedal is rocked forward the detuned signal is mixed with the dry signal This effect can be used in combination with the Drop Tune effect The Detune effects include Aa 3136 ofo Ej o SHALLOW The copied signal is slightly detuned from the original pitch DEEP The copied signal is substantially detuned from the original pitch DETUNE GDO Detune Presets Drop Tune Effects This group of effects allow you to transpose shift your instrument up or down with a range of one octave in each direction for instant drop tuning or raised tuning simulation The Octave Dry effects create a 2 string guitar simulation This effect can be used in combination with the Whammy Harmony or Detune effect Drop Tune effects include SHIFT UP OCT DRY Transposes guitar signal up octave and adds dry signal OCT Transposes guitar signal up octave 7 Transposes guitar signal up 7 semitones 6 Transposes guitar signal up 6 semitones 5 Transposes guitar signal up 5 semitones gaee 4 Transposes guitar signal up 4 semitones SHIFT UP 208 e 3 Transposes guitar2. 21 1 WHAMMY Effect Switch This switch turns the Whammy Harmony or Detune effect on and off 2 Whammy Effect Status LED This LED lights to indicate the Whammy Harmony or Detune effect is on When the Whammy effect is bypassed this LED will be off 3 Whammy LEDs One of these LEDs will light when a Harmony Whammy or Detune effect is selected Harmony effects have dry signal added to the effect signal Whammy and Detune effects do not have dry signal added to the effect signal 4 Whammy Effect Selector Knob This knob is used to select the Whammy bend Harmony intervals or Detune range controlled by the expression pedal Expression Pedal This pedal is used to control the pitch bending amount of the selected Harmony Whammy or Detune effect Rocking it forward toe down increases the amount of pitch bending while rocking it back toe up decreases the amount of pitch bending Drop Tune Effect Selector This knob selects the shift interval for the Drop Tune effect Drop Tune LEDs One of these LEDs will light when a Drop Tune effect is selected Drop Tune Effect Status LED This LED lights to indicate the Drop Tune effect is on When the Drop Tune effect is bypassed this LED will be off DROP TUNE Effect Switch This switch turns the Drop Tune effect on and off MOMENTARY Switch This switch momentarily turns the Drop Tune effect on or off to create hammer on and pull off style shifting effects
