STEREO TALKING MACHINE
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Stereo Talking Machine, a
highly customizable envelope-controlled digital vowel filter. The Stereo Talking
Machine (STM) utilizes multiple moving filters to turn your guitar in a growling,
gurgling, snarling monster.
- Special Features of the Stereo Talking Machine -
•
Nine selectable voices: Seven human vowel filter combinations, a classic wah-wah filter,
and the legendary dual band filter of the EHX Bassballs
•
Ability to reverse the sweep of each voice, doubling your sound options
•
Attack/Decay knobs to separately control the rise and fall speeds of the filter sweep
•
Sensitivity control to adapt the effect's response to your playing style
•
Stereo Outputs for true stereo imaging and panning
•
Expression Pedal option to manually control filter sweep
•
Programmable distortion to make your guitar really growl
•
Programmable internal LFO for automatic filter modulation
•
Effects Loop side-chain
•
9 fully programmable presets
WARNING: Your Stereo Talking Machine comes equipped with an Electro-
Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply (same as used by Boss
DC 200mA / Center Negative). The Stereo Talking Machine requires 185mA at
9VDC with a center negative plug. The STM does not take batteries. Using the
wrong adapter may damage your unit and void the warranty.
Each voice option in the STM sweeps between two distinct filter settings, mimicking
the way a human mouth moves to form particular vowel sounds. The direction of the
filter sweep can be reversed using the SENSITIVITY knob.
The WAH and BB voice options simulate a classic wah-wah pedal filter and the EHX
Bassballs filter respectively.
