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.
