INTENSITY: Controls
the intensity or Depth of
the tremolo eect. This is
accomplished by varying
the amplitude of the LFO
that controls the tremolo. At
minimum position,
the LFO is o and no
tremolo eect 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
oerings.
DECAY: Varies the reverb time from
short to long. The ‘70s and ‘80s verbs will
approach ‘innite’ decay at maximum.
TREMOLO SWITCH:
Switches between 3 tremolo types
‘61 Harm - Harmonic band ltering
‘63 Tube - Power Tube Bias
‘65 Photo - Photocell

COLOR: Varies the

spot in front of a variety
of amps.

the +/- 3dB
boost or cut
