Like the Iguana that’s malleable to its environment,
blending in to its surroundings for harmonious
balance or standing out with vibrant confi dence, the
Polychrome Flanger is a uniquely colorful tool for
adding modulated textures to great songs.

The Polychrome Flanger is a true bypass, analog
Flanger pulling in familiar layout controls from the
Julia and Lillian. Dial in a wealth of colorful fl ange with
the D-F-V (Dry, Flange, Vibrato) blend knob and the
shape and voice switches.

RATE– Sets the LFO rate from a super slow 0.1hz at minimum to about 8hz at maximum.

DEPTH– Sets the depth of the LFO, which determines the width of the fi lter sweep. It is also interactive

with the sweep knob. The higher the depth knob setting, the less effect the sweep knob will have.

SWEEP– The sweep knob shifts the frequency range to which the fi ltering is applied. Set to higher

settings for tighter, more traditional fl ange tones. Set to lower settings for deeper fl ange tones.

Fun trick: If you set the depth knob to zero, you can control the “parked” position of the fi lter using the

sweep knob for cool notched fi lter effects. Increase the feedback for an even more dramatic effect.

Make sure the D-F-V knob is at noon to achieve this effect.

FEEDBACK– The feedback knob determines the amount of affected signal cycled back through the

circuit.Higher settings will result in a more serious, more dramatic fl anging effect, while lower settings

will sound more subtle and similar to a traditional chorus effect.

SHAPE SWITCH– The shape switch lets you select sine, triangle, or random LFO wave to modulate the

delay line.

VOICE SWITCH– The voice switch lets you select

between two voices for the fl ange effect. In the

down position, the fl anger is more traditional and

full frequency. In the up position, you get a more

complex and notched fl ange effect with less low

end.

D-F-V (Dry, Flange, Vibrato)– The D-F-V knob lets

you blend the dry and delayed signal from full dry

at minimum (no effect), to traditional fl ange at

noon to full pitch vibrato at maximum. Don’t sleep

on the vibrato sounds in the polychrome. Set the

D-F-V knob to maximum, feedback to a minimum,

and the voice switch up for some unique pitch

vibrato.

SMART MOMENTARY BYPASS SWITCH - When the

bypass switch is in the off position, press and hold

to temporarily activiate the effect. Releasing the

switch turns the effect off.
