RIDDLE: Q BALLS
FOR GUITAR
Congratulations on your purchase of the Riddle: Q-Balls envelope
controlled filter for guitar! This is a very powerful tool for musical
expression that opens a new horizon of sonic potential for your
guitar. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the
Riddle's controls and how they work.
Envelope controlled filters are a unique type of sound modifier
where the intensity of the effect is controlled by the user's playing
dynamics. The volume and dynamic of the incoming audio signal is
used to control a swept filter. As the volume increases or decreases
so does the frequency of the filter.
With 3 selectable filter modes, along with START, STOP, ATTACK,
DECAY, Q and SENSITIVITY controls, all of the classic Q sounds are
available to the user. Also, many new sounds and vivid textures
can be achieved like never before. A new analog distortion circuit
was created specifically for the RIDDLE, and adds a dynamic edge
to the filters sound. With the addition of an expression pedal input
(expression pedal not included), the RIDDLE provides manual
control of the filter sweep.
