GOOD VIBES

Analog Modulator

Congratulations on your purchase of the Good Vibes, a re-creation of classic
1960’s era Chorus/Vibrato! This circuit’s original foundation is preserved
through the use of photocells and internally-boosted power-rails. The result
is anything from wiggly vibrato, to subtle leslie and ultra-lush chorus that is
out of this world! True Bypass and LED indication have also been added,
along with an expression pedal input for selectable control over speed or
intensity.

WARNING: Your Good Vibes comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200
power supply (same as used by Boss® & Ibanez®: 9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The Good
Vibes requires up to 45mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Using the wrong
adaptor may damage your unit and void the warranty. The Good Vibes does not
accept batteries.

VOLUME Knob – controls the output volume. Maximum setting is slightly
above unity-gain.

SPEED Knob – controls the speed of modulation. As you turn SPEED
clockwise, the modulation rate increases. The LED to the left of the SPEED
knob flashes at the modulation rate (even in bypass).

INTENSITY Knob – allows you to set the depth of modulation sweep. As
you turn INTENSITY clockwise, the modulation depth increases.

CHORUS-VIBRATO Switch – when this switch is set to Vibrato, the Good
Vibes delivers pure pitch-modulation. When this switch is set to Chorus, the
Good Vibes delivers a lush, vibe-like chorus.

FOOTSWITCH and LED – The Footswitch toggles the Good Vibes between
effect and True Bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED is lit.

INPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the audio input for the Good Vibes. The input
impedance is 500kΩ.

OUTPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the effect output for the Good Vibes.

EXP Jack – This ¼” EXPression jack accepts a TRS expression pedal

connector or a Tip-Sleeve 0-5V control voltage input. Some suggested
Expression Pedals include: EHX Expression Pedal, M-Audio® EX-P, Roland®
EV-5 or Boss® FV-500L. The polarity of the expression pedal’s plug must
connect the Sleeve to the heel position, Ring connected to the toe position,
and the Tip connected to the wiper. The nominal expression pedal
impedance is 10kΩ, but it can accept impedances ranging from 6kΩ –
100kΩ.

EXP SPEED-INTENSITY Switch – when this switch is set to SPEED, the
connected expression source controls the speed of modulation (toe-down is
fastest rate). When this switch is set to INTENSITY, the connected
expression source controls the modulation depth (toe-down is maximum
depth). Furthermore, the panel-knob of the selected function works in
conjunction with the expression pedal to set the maximum sweep of the toe
down position.

9V Power Jack – Plug the output of the supplied AC adaptor into the 9V
power jack located at the top of the Good Vibes. The Good Vibes draws up
to 45mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The Good Vibes accepts Boss®
and Ibanez® style AC Adaptors. Please do not exceed 10VDC at the 9V

power jack!
