22. Vibrato
< Miscellaneous >
This algorithm shifts the pitch of the sound up and down to create a vibrato effect. It can go from
really subtle to extreme wide vibrato. It has 2 operation modes :
 Standard : static vibrato effect.
 Dynamic : intensity (depth) of the vibrato is surpressed as signal level is high, and then comes
back up when signal level ceases. This is a very powerful mode, as it allows you to apply deep
vibrato only on the tails of a phrase, leaving the main part of the phrase much less affected.
We have also added the Rise Time parameter, similar to that of the vintage Boss VB‐2 pedal. This
parameter controls the time it takes for the vibrato to reach full intensity when the algorithm is
activated, in some scenario gradually intensifying vibrato gives a more natural result.

[ Tweak ] = Sensitivity
Controls how sensitive the algorithm is
to your picking dynamics.
In Dynamic mode, adjust Sensitivity to suit your guitar's pickup output level. Dial it up of you
feel the algorithm is not responding enough to your picking dynamics, and dial it down if you
feel the algorithm is over‐reacting to you picking dynamics.
Tips : use the Stompbox Mode and the momentary action feature to get 'vibrato‐on demand'.
