SPEED Knob: Depending on the modulation source, the SPEED knob controls

either the rate of the LFO, the attack and decay times of the envelope followers, or

the “Smoothing” of the Hot Hand.

When using the LFO modulation ( , , , or ), turning the SPEED

knob clock-wise will increase the modulation rate.

When using the Slow Attack Envelope Follower ( ), turning the SPEED knob

clock-wise shortens the time of the Attack and the Decay, which is the rise and fall

of the control signal. In this setting, the Attack and Decay are set proportionally to

each other. When using the Fast Attack Envelope Follower ( ), turning the

SPEED knob clock-wise lengthens the time of the Decay only. The Attack is

programmed at a “fast” rate, which matches the fastest setting of the Slow Attack

Envelope Follower.

While Hot Hand is engaged, the SPEED knob controls the amount of “Smoothing”.

Turning the SPEED knob clock-wise increases the “Smoothing”, and makes Hot

Hand less responsive and less jittery sounding.

Discovering Preset Knob Positions
Since the STINGRAY preset values can differ from the physical knob positions, it

may be useful to determine the positions of the preset knob values. To start the

process, put the pedal in bypass mode and set all the knobs to their full

counter-clockwise positions. Next, enable the preset, and slowly turn each knob

up one at a time, until the preset indicator LED begins to blink rapidly. This rapid

blinking indicates that the current position of the knob matches the saved value.

EFFECT TYPES

Filter effects are used to enhance or remove certain frequencies as they

modulate your instrument’s signal. The STINGRAY features a wide variety of

filter types that can create dramatically different sounding effects. In some

cases, the STINGRAY combines multiple filter types to create a single filter

effect.

By default (Normal Mode), there are 12 filter effects found on the EFFECT

SELECTOR knob. This can be expanded to 24 filter effects by using the

Extended Mode. This addition allows users to access all of the effect types

from our popular Soundblox Bass Envelope Filter, Soundblox Guitar Envelope

Filter, Soundblox Poly-Mod Filter Pro, and Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter.

Extended Mode uses the same filter types as Normal Mode but integrates an

additional 12 filter effects that are indicated by two adjacent LEDs lit

simultaneously on the EFFECT SELECTOR knob.
