INTENSITY: Controls
the intensity or Depth of
the tremolo effect. This is
accomplished by varying
the amplitude of the LFO
that controls the tremolo. At
minimum position,
the LFO is off and no
tremolo effect is heard,
but the signal still
travels through the
tremolo ‘circuit’.
SPEED: Varies
the tremolo LFO
frequency from slow
to fast. The slow
range is extended
to give lower trem
speeds than were
generally available
in the vintage
offerings.
DECAY: Varies the reverb time from
short to long. The ‘70s and ‘80s verbs will
approach ‘infinite’ decay at maximum.
TREMOLO SWITCH:
Switches between 3 tremolo types
‘61 Harm - Harmonic band filtering
‘63 Tube - Power Tube Bias
‘65 Photo - Photocell

COLOR: Varies the
reverb tone from
darker at low settings,
to brighter at higher
settings. This is critical
for dialing in the sweet
spot in front of a variety
of amps.

the +/- 3dB
boost or cut
when Tremolo
