Selecting Effects

Use the large rotary knob on the right side of the pedal to select between the different effect modes: האַרמאָניע, וואַממי, און דעטונע. Each mode has multiple sub-settings indicated by LEDs. The active setting's LED will illuminate when selected.

• Harmony Modes: These modes add a harmonized note to your original signal. Examples include Octave Up/Down, 4th, 5th, and various 3rd/7th combinations.
• Whammy Modes: These modes shift your original note up or down by a specified interval as you move the expression pedal. Common settings include 2 Octave Up, 1 Octave Up, 5th Up, 4th Up, 2 Octave Down, Dive Bomb, and Drop Tune.
• Detune Modes: These modes create a subtle chorus-like effect by slightly detuning your signal. Options include Shallow and Deep detune.

Using the Expression Pedal

The expression pedal is integral to the Whammy effect. In Whammy modes, rocking the pedal forward (toe down) or backward (heel down) will sweep the pitch through the selected interval. For Harmony and Detune modes, the expression pedal typically controls the wet/dry mix or the intensity of the effect.
