modulating frequency notches, which create a subtle, undulating sound
similar to that found in a rotating Leslie speaker.

VIBE:

The VIBE effect type was modeled after the Shin-Ei Univibe, the

original rotating speaker simulator (i.e. the original phaser pedal). This
effect contains 2 relatively wide frequency notches spaced farther from
one another than a typical phaser.

VARIABLE STAGE PHASERS:

As a rule, every pair of phase shift stages

creates one notch in the frequency response, so the 4, 6, 8, and 12 STAGE
PHASERS produce 2, 3, 4, and 6 frequency notches, respectfully. As you
progress from the 4 to the 12 STAGE PHASERS, the effect will sound
more complex and pronounced.

TREMOlO

Though TREMOLO is not one of the effects listed around the EFFECT
SELECTOR knob, turning up the Orbital Modulator’s TREMOLO knob can
produce several traditional or non-traditional tremolo effects. For a basic
tremolo, set the MOD SOURCE to a standard sine wave, dial the EFFECT
SELECTOR to CLASSIC, turn the DEPTH and DELAY all the way down
and the MIX to 100% wet, then set the TREMOLO somewhere between 9
and 11 o’clock. For some more unique tremolo effects, try dialing in more
DEPTH and experiment with the different effect types.
