Full Sustain with Harmonic Blends

Sweep the included Control Pedal to
shift the positive energy of Vo Power
in Sustain mode between the bridge
and neck pick-ups to pull both
subtle and dramatic harmonics from
the strings. To have the greatest
amount of sustain, center the
Control Pedal so that both pickups
are giving equal amounts of energy.

Mute Mode - Piezo Pickups

Set Control Pedal in mid position,
halfway between heel and toe for
maximum muting. This setting
gives you an acoustic tone with
muted strings, resulting in a very
organic staccato sound. Use it to
create a plucked dobro/banjo
tonality. Also reminiscent of a
koto or other ethnic instruments.

Mid-Position

Controlled Sustain Mode with
Articulated Filter

The Control Pedal sets the starting
cutoff frequency of the articulated
filter. With the Control Pedal in the
lower half of its range, hard
picking produces a funky auto-
wah effect. Smooth, legato
playing causes the articulated
filter to open and close very
slightly as the amplitude of the
strings rises and falls, resulting in
an almost vocal tone.

In Articulated Moog Filter or Moog
Filter Mode , “Tone” knob becomes
“Resonance”. Experiment with this.
