CHORUS
CC-1
Features
TheCoolCat Chorus gives youall of the classic chorussounds,
andmore-with more control than you’ve hadbefore.
CONTROLS:
DEPTH: Controlsthe intensityof theChorus, from minimum
(fullycounter-clockwise) to maximum (fullyclockwise). The
Depthcontrolinteractswith theSpeedcontrolin thisfashion:
slower speed settingscan takehigherdepth settings.As Speed
increases,Depth mayneedtobe reduced.
Higher settings maycause light-headedness!
SPEED: Controls the speed of the Chorus, from
minimum (fullycounter-clockwise) to maximum (fully
clockwise). This control willhaveno effectunless the
Depthcontrolis sethigher than minimum (off).
MIX/EQ: These controlsare stacked, the innercontroladjusts
mixand the outer control adjusts chorus eq.(These controlshave
no effect unlessthe pedal ison.) Turning the Eqknobcan be
tricky, here’s howto do it:turnbothknobs at thesametimeuntil
theEq iswhere youwant it, then adjustthe Mixcontrol.
When theMix control isfullycounter-clockwise, thereisno
chorus effect– it’s100% dry. When theMix control isset to
CHORUS FEATURES CONTINUED:
maximum,all you’ll hear is theeffected signal–100% wet. By
setting this control in-betweenminimumand maximum you can
choosethe perfect drytowetratio. A normal setting wouldbe at
12:00 (50% dry, 50% wet).Lowering theMix control makes
theChorusmoresubtle;raising theMix takes thesoundtowards
vibrato.
TheEq control adjusts to tone ofthe chorusonly, leaving your
drysignalunaffected. Think ofitas a highfrequencyroll-off for
thewetsignal.If theChorus soundstoo “sparkle-y”, tryturning
down theEq control.
BYPASS: Thetruebypassfootswitch engages anddisengages
thepedal.

This maycause complaints from your band,as theClassicChorus
sound has beenusedto extremes.Let’sbea bit more creative:
“Sky BlueSky” (Great forrhythm players, so subtlethe band
mightlet youleave it on allnight…)
Depth–9:30
Speed – 10:30
Mix/Eq – 9:30/ Min. (7:00)
“Spin-Cycle”
Depth–9:00, mayneedto be reduced athighest speed setting
Speed – 4:30 to Maximum (5:00)
Mix/Eq – 12:00/ Wide open (Bonus:
change theMix setting to maximum
andyou get Vibrato, otherwiseknown
as the difference between a trombone and a lawnmower.)

TRANSPARENT
OVERDRIVE
CTO-1
Features
TheTransparent Overdrive letsmore of your guitar’s voice shine
through,evenat highoverdrivesettings.Very useful for
everything from modern Country to Americanand British Rock.
CONTROLS:
GAIN: Sets theamount ofoverdrive
appliedtothe signal, counter-clockwise
is minimum overdrive, turnclockwise to
increaseoverdrive. Asoverdriveincreases,
lowfrequencieswill“bloom”slightly.
TREBLE / BASS:Adjusts thetoneof the overdrive
sound. Thetwo controlsare stacked;the inner control is for
Treble,the outerfor Bass.Thesecontrols cut and boost – theyare
flat (noeffect)at 12 o’clock. Tuning theTreblecontrolcounterclockwisefrom12:00 cuts the treble, advancingthe Treble control
beyond 12:00booststhe Treble. The Bass control operates inthe
same fashion. Turning theBassknobcan be tricky, here’s how to
do it: turnboth knobs at the same timeuntil theBassiswhere
youwant it, then adjustthe Treble control.Don’t besurprised if
youleave thesecontrols setnearlyflat.
VOLUME: This control adjusts overall volume when the
Transparent Overdrive isturned on.Usually, the Volume control is
TRANS.OVERDRIVEFEATURES CONTINUED:
setto be a little louder than thebypassed signal,orloudenough
to serveas a solosetting. There islotsof volume boost available,
so you canget even lowgain settingsloudenough.Withhigh
gain settings, theVolume control adds anotherdimension of gain
that will generate even more overdrive.Becareful – thispedal
goes way beyondeleven!
BYPASS: Thetruebypassfootswitch engages anddisengages
thepedal. HINT:Don’t forget to trysettingyour guitar’svolume
andtonecontrols lowerthantheir maximum: theTransparent
Overdrive won’t “collapse” on you likeother pedals.
