FEED VOLUME MIX
(RAMP)
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FEED (RAMP)
Simply put, this is a magical knob. When you don't
have any dip switches assigned for ramping, this knob
functions as a "Drive" control. "Drive" is a bit of a
misnomer here, as it is the gain control of a very clean,
beautiful and transparent boost. If you want more
headroom and output out of the pedal, 18V operation
is advised. Due to the digital control of this pedal, you
can set this knob to control any of the five parameters
individually or simultaneously (volume, tone, rate, depth,
sway) and have it either modulate or ramp-and-hold
(rise or fall) via dip switches in the back of the pedal.
Essentially, this knob controls the ramp time in which
this takes place.
VOLUME
Sets the level of the effect. This pedal has an internal
voltage doubler and a nice boost circuit, so there is
massive boost and head room. Of course, the ramp
knob or an expression pedal can control this knob. This
control acts almost as a gain control, and is a little more
"sluggish" to respond if controlled by expression.
TONE
Dial this in for 100% wet phase vibrato, 100% dry,
or anything in-between. Parking this somewhere
in the middle introduces the classic phase chorusing. It's
really rare for a phaser to have a control that goes from
all the way dry to all the way wet phase vibrato.
RATE
This controls the rate of the phase effect –
mkII allows very slow rates. Tap tempo overrides
this control.

OVERVIEW
The sonic experience of the womb, now in pedal form. They just
don't make phasers like they used to, until now. This analog phaser
pedal features an all-analog signal path with smooth, vintage
tones that harken back to the 70's while retaining the ability to get
plenty weird and psychedelic. Wombtone mkII has a few upgrades,
including a rare mix control that moves from full dry signal to pure
phase vibrato as well as the ability to switch between 2, 4, and 6
stages of phase for all flavors of phase from barely audible to that
full, syrupy swirl. Further, every knob and switch is connected to a
little digital brain while your guitar signal stays 100% analog the
entire time and never gets digitally processed. Since the control of
the effect is digital, it opens up unprecedented effects and features
that have never been heard or offered in analog stompboxes.
1/2/4 (3/6/8) STG:(2/4/6) TOGGLE
If the "Stages" dip switch is engaged, this toggle
transforms into the "STG: (2 – 4 – 6)" switch. This allows
selection of 2, 4, or 6 phase stages for more subtle or
extreme options. Otherwise, this toggle controls tap
divisions. A dip switch in the back of the pedal lets you
access the "3 – 6 – 8" divisions, rather than "1 – 2 – 4"
if you so desire. You can also select tap divisions for the
RPM or for ramping parameters dependent on where the
"tap control" dip switch is set. Note that divisions are 2x
slower for ramping.
DEPTH
This controls the range of the phaser. Crank it clockwise
for a very wide frequency spectrum.
FORM
This controls the center point of the modulation. Crank it
to counterclockwise, the wave is going to ramp up quickly
and ramp down gradually. If you crank it clockwise, the
wave will ramp up gradually and ramp down quickly. If
this knob is straight up and down at 12:00 it will give a
perfectly symmetric wave.
LEFT WAVE SHAPE TOGGLE
This controls the shape of the first half of the wave
modulation. Left for sine, middle for triangle, and right
for square.
RIGHT WAVE SHAPE TOGGLE
This controls the shape of the second half of the wave
modulation. Left for square, middle for triangle, and right
for sine.
