Program Descriptions
TREMOLO
Tremolo is a rhythmic change in loudness, commonly
employed as an expressive technique by vocalists and
wind instrument players. It is also one of the oldest
electronic effects, frequently used with electric guitar,
electric piano, and occasionally vocals. Different tremolo
effects are largely determined by the rate (fast or slow)
and waveform shape (smooth or sharp) of the change in
loudness. If the effect is used in a stereo mix, the left and
right can be synchronized to produce dramatic side-to-
side motion.
The Tremolo programs offer classic tremolo shapes, such
as square, sawtooth, triangle, sine, and rectified sine. The
synchronization of the left and right channels can be
adjusted to produce mono and stereo effects. The Tap
button sets tremolo rates, making it simple to match the
tempo of the music. The Adjust knob (phase) sets left
and right channel waveforms out-of-phase, resulting in a
panning motion.

Set the front panel Mix knob to Wet for all program
variations. Mix can be used to effectively set the depth of
the Tremolo program when more dry is added to the
wet-to-dry mix. (Turn the knob to the right, moving its
setting closer to Dry.) It is recommended to make the
rate work with the tempo of the music, as Tremolo is
essentially a rhythmic effect.
The Adjust knob can function as a four-
position switch, selecting the amount of
phase shift. When a setting is selected in the
0 range, no phase shift is applied. When a
setting is selected in the other ranges, the
indicated amount of phase shift is applied.
Numbers indicate phase shift in degrees.
