Dear Customer! Thank you for choosing our product. G LAB Tidy Chorus (TCH-1) is a classic chorus effect with wide range of chorus tone settings. In the device is applied the G LAB MAX ANALOG technology what means that in the signal path are used discrete components and classic LFO and VCO analog circuit innovatively controlling the 24 bits DSP processor.
Power supply The TCH-1 should be supplied from external regulated 9V DC power supply, with capacity of 90 mA or more. It is recommended to use separated source e.g. G LAB PB-1 in order to avoid ground loop. Before connecting please check if the connector’s polarization is CTR –...
Way of connecting It is recommended to connect the TCH-1 to the amp effect loop before delay and reverb type effects. This connection mode is required if you play on amp overdriven channels.

If you use for overdriven tones only the stompboxes the TCH-1 should be connected after overdrive and distortion effects and before delay and reverb effects.
GAIN switch GAIN switch with help of PEAK indicator enables to match the chorus sensitivity to the signal. It is recommended to set GAIN switch to HIGH position, switch on the chorus effect and check if PEAK indicator lights while playing (especially on clean tone).

decreasing the DEPTH. The FAT +X and FAT +XX switches enable to match the „weight” of the chorus tone by changing the delay time of the modulated signal. The RATE regulator sets the speed of the modulation and the DEPTH regulator enables to set the depth of the modulation.
MIDI controlling To set the MIDI channel on which the TCH-1 receives the commands serves the MIDI CHANNEL rotary switch. To set the channel it is needed to use a small, flat screwdriver and to turn right or left the middle part of the switch. The arrow-head indicates selected channel.
