The Smilin' Ghost
The Smilin' Ghost is a versatile Tremolo and Percussion Repeater ef-
fect with a special dynamic control. Completely analog, it is equipped
with an opto-coupler (OCR), selected on our own specifications, dri-
ven by our special wide range LFO. Thanks to a band frequency re-
sponse, The Smilin' Ghost will not affect or change the original sound
of any instrument. Achievable effects range from a classic sweet Tre-
molo, with an LFO wave selectable, to the Percussion Repeat, an ef-
fect conceived during the 60s in electronic organs to emulate the fast

THE SMILIN' GHOST Operating Manual
Pizzicato of a Mandolin, but definitely useful for any kind of electric
instrument.
A special proprietary circuit, called T.R.F.I. (Touch Response Fade In)
allows proportional dynamic control of the effect, depending on the
dynamics used by the musician during the playing of a melody line or
a rhythmic pattern.
T.R.F.I also solves the frequent problem that can occur when the Tre-
molo is activated where the attack melody is "eaten" when the OCR
closes. Combined with an electric piano, the T.R.F.I. function allows
you to discover previously unexplored musical territory.
