Sorry, I couldn't contain myself.
I vowed not to make a thread about this until I had a proper review and some decent soundsamples (but that is going to take a few days.)
But I just want to share my initial impressions on this pedal:
This is one insane tremelo.
It's a tremelo and rhythmic machine.
With the left knob you choose the tremelo shape. Also some programmed settings A B C D E but I haven't figured that out yet.
With the right know, wave/depth, you control the depth like on any other tremelo.
Closed there is no effect, open the tremelo is from zero to full peak.
The 4 knobs in between each are to control the rate of when the sequence is at that spot. Going from 1 amplitude in that quarter spot of the sequence to 16 amplitudes. Or F meaning no tremelo effect in that spot of the sequence or M meaning silence in that spot of the sequence.
By this you can create sort of a macro tremelo by the differents settings between the knobs. And micro tremelo by setting the rate for a quarter of the sequence.
Sounds complicated... but there is an easier way to explain this.
Each of those four knobs can also be dialed to ">>", meaning scratch this part out of the sequence.
So you can have a sequence divided into 4 parts max, or 3 parts, or 2 parts... or 1 part.
1 part is just like a normal tremelo.
So if you set knob 2, 3 and 4 to ">>" you have a normal tremelo and work your way up from there.
So, for example: if all other knobs are in the off (>>) position you use knob 1 to set the rate.
Waveshape form for example: sinewave.
For example set it to 1 amplitude of a sine-wave. Then use the tap tempo switch to set the temp to 1 second.
You now have one sine-wave tremelo effect over 1 second.
If you know turn the knob to 2 amplitudes, you have 2 sine-waves over 1 second. You can set it to 16 max.
You can set the tap tempo as slowly as 6 second, than you can choose from 1 sinewave over 6 seconds (it's like a auto-swell effect) or 16 sinewaves over 6 seconds.
Changing tap tempo again you can go as fast as 16 waves over a very fast tempo.
Now, here comes the fun part:
if you turn up the second knob, dialing it out of >> means putting it in the sequence, than you can divede the sequence into two different rate tremelos.
For example: tap tempo 1 second, knob 1 set to 1 amplitude, knob 2 set to 3 amplitudes.
Now you get 1 wave over 1 second followed by 3 waves over 1 second and the the sequence begins again (: 1 wave 1 second, 3 waves one second)
And now you have more to put in the sequence.
Let's turn up knob 3 to F (I think it mean infinity amplitude, basicly your dry signal with no tremelo effect) and knob 4 to M (meaning minimum... no amplitude... total mute.)
Now you have: 1 wave over 1 second, 3 waves over 1 second, dry signal over 1 second, mute over 1 second... and back to the beginning all over again.
Now, set the tempo much faster so this whole sequence happens over half a second and you get very interesting tremelo effects.
If you only use a 2 part sequense, and set the first knob to F (dry signal) and the second knob to M (mute) you have your basic square wave tremelo... this is what I mean by the macro tremelo.
Set the first knob to 2 amplitudes and wave to Squarewave, you have a micro squarewave withing a macro squarewave.
This thing is insane.
I promise I'll try to get some soundclips over the weekend, but I'm a dummy when it comes to recording.
And I still need to play around with this pedal some more fore a proper review.
