Improper use of this equipment could result in increased RF emissions, which may or may not interfere with other electronic products. To insure against this possibility, always use good shielded cables for all audio input and output connections. [. . . ] This unit is designed to operate between 32 F and 104 F (0 C and 40 C). This unit may not function properly under extreme temperatures. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Pulse Tremolo. The Pulse Tremolo pedal provides a very economical way to get that expensive classic tube tremolo sound in a small box. The Pulse creates an amazing tremolo with modulated light and static light. Yes, you read that correct, we use light to create the tremolo effect!Using light for creating signal modulation via a photoresistor, an LED lights up and the photo-resistor changes the output volume on the Pulse in relationship to the light intensity. An LFO (low frequency oscillator) pulses the LED at a given rate and a given wave form, the light travels to the photo-resistor causing it to change resistance value, which in turn changes the gain output of the internal amplifier (op amp). The result is a smooth non-symmetrical tremolo which closely approximates classic tube tremolo properties. A SPEED control varies the rate of the tremolo, while an INTENSITY control determines the amount of the effect. A switch is provided that lets you choose triangle or square LFO pulse modulation waveforms. The easy access battery compartment will make changing batteries during a gig a breeze. We have also equipped it with a super bright blue LED so you will know when the pedal is on. . . it is also just plain cool!Enjoy Connection 1 Controls Controls 1 Speed Control - Adjusts the speed at which the tremolo signal modulates (or increases or decreases in volume). Active LED - When lit the pedal is "active" or "on" Intensity Control - Adjusts the amount of modulation for the tremolo signal. Lower Intensity settings will produce more subtle tremolo effects, while higher settings will result in a more extreme tremolo effect. DC 9V Input - To use external power (not provided) use only a 9-Volt DC adapter Waveform Select Switch - This switch determines the "waveshape" of the tremolo signal. [. . . ] When the Pulse is placed after the distortion, when active, you will hear the tremolo effect without volume ducking artifacts. If using multiple pedals such as delays and other modulation effects, try the Pulse Tremolo in different parts of the signal chain until you find the sound you like best. If you have an effects loop in your amplifier - try putting the Pulse in the effects loop for a different sound (please follow all instructions in your amplifier manual when connecting to your effects loop).
