The Pentavocal Tremolo is simply that - a tremolo with five different voices to choose from. You can select the frequency
response by turning the rotary selector to the desired setting. From a delicate, shimmery, flutter trem to a pulsy low end
throb they're all there.
Velocity - This dial allows you to select the speed of the
tremolo. From Super Slow to Super Fast.
Depth - Allows you to control the depth of the effected
sound (how ironic).
Volume - This enables you to never be faced with the
heinous volume drop that many trem pedals have when they're providing
really deep tremming.
Bottom - The Bottom control allows the user to dial in the
amount of mid range and hi frequency cut that occurs as the volume
decreases in the trem cycle. Simply put: Turn the bottom control all
the way to the left and the volume just increases and decreases as per
a normal trem, but set it all the way to the right and you'll find that
as the volume decreases all of the hi end and midrange disappears.
Turning the Bottom control fully clockwise whilst having the depth
fully clockwise also allows you to access an asymmetrical wave, which
sounds incredibly pretty at high velocity.
Voicing - A five way rotary switch that lets you choose
from 5 differently voiced tremolo settings.
Tremulate Footswitch - Bring the effect into the signal
path by clicking this one. True bypass switching.
Wave Footswitch - Allows you to jump from a lovely smooth
tremolo over to a hard square chop by simply depressing your foot. Bad
foot, ugly, good-for-nothing foot.
Power - The Pentavocal trem can be powered from either a
nine-volt battery or an external nine-volt adapter (Boss PSA styled is
ideal - though anything with a 2.1mm barrel plug with a negative center
pin is fine.).
