WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Here's everything you will need to upgrade your Quaverato with the MIDI mod kit. In this assembly
manual, we are assuming:
1. you have a Quaverato Harmonic Tremolo pedal, as a kit underway, or already assembled and
in-service;
2. you know how to solder and how to use tools safely; but
3. you have no other particular experience with electronics.
SOFTWARE
Quaveratos shipped after November 16, 2018 come loaded with the latest MIDI-enabled software
(version 2.3.6 or higher). If you are modding an older unit, you will need to update the software.
Updates are easily obtained with the free
hardware called a
