ON footswitch

Set the effect ON or OFF.

Also while holding the footswitch down,

it works as a SHIFT function button.

Tap footswitch

Tap tempo over the LFO rate.

When holding the TAP and the ON buttons down for 3 sec,

you will save the SHIFT state

Shape Knob

Select an LFO waveform.

This is not a continuous wave-shaper,

but a 5 position selection.

Fade Knob

Fade in and Fade out over the tremolo depth.

Set at 50% to disable this function.

For more info check

the “FADE AND EXPRESSION” chapter

Rate Knob

Manual control over the LFO speed.

Its range is from 20 sec to 220hz,

depending on the DIV

and [SHIFT]+DIV selection

VCA

This controls the pedal’s level,

even if the effect is on a By-Pass mode

CV OUT

Send the LFO out

CV IN

Controls the LFO Rate

DIV Toggle Switch

Here you can set the divisions of the LFO Rate

(or the multiply on the rate indication).

It’s p1-x1 , p1-x3 , p1-x4

Depth knob

Set the Depth of the Tremolo effect

Output

Audio out , send to an amp,

mixer or monitor.

Input

Audio, line or fretted instrument input.

Accepts up to 2Vpp levels.

9VDC center pin negative

standard effect pedals power

Treminator is based on the synthesizer’s last signal flow stage, called the VCA (voltage con-

trolled amplifier). We took this simple circuit and adapted it into a really expressive effect pedal

combined with an LFO, which is controlled by envelope generators. Forget everything you knew

about tremolos and prepare to be amazed...

Main Page Controls

These are the hands on controls,

that you can access without holding down the shift.

On/Off Indicator Signal to Gate Indicator

These are the SHIFT controls, that you can access while holding down

the ON button. Remember, in order to store this so that the pedal remem-

bers them the next time you power it, you must press and hold both

footswitches for 3 seconds!

RATE = THRESHOLD

Controls the signal to gate function. For more info about signal to gate,

check the “FADE AND EXPRESSION” chapter.

SHAPE = RESET

This controls if the Waveform of the LFO will be reset whenever a signal

to gate appears. When at 0-49% sets the LFO waveform reset OFF. At

50-100% sets the LFO waveform reset ON. For more info about LFO

waveform reset check the “FADE AND EXPRESSION” chapter.

FADE = RATE EXPRESSION

This acts as the LFO speedup (0-49%), or slowdown function (51-100%).

At 50% travel this is set to off. For more info about speed expression

check the “FADE AND EXPRESSION” chapter.

DEPTH = RATE EXPRESSION AMOUNT

Sets the amount of speedup/slowdown. For more info about speed

expression check the “FADE AND EXPRESSION” chapter.

DIV toggle switch: extra divisions over the LFO rate. Its p2-x1 , p2-x2 , x4. Those

are multiplied to the main DIV selection, allowing for many combinations

and up to a x16 multiply over the rate control.

Getting started

A. Send an audio signal or an instrument to the input

B. Send the output to an amp or a monitor

C. Power the effect by using a 9VDC center negative power adapter (specialized for effect pedals)

D. Press the ON button to engage the effect

E. Then set an initial preset as followed:

RATE = 50% SHAPE = triangle FADE = 50% (that is off actually) DEPTH = 50% DIVISIONS = 1 (left)

This should result into a “normal” 1 sec tremolo effect. Start from here and try to experiment with the rest of the functions.

In order to enable the secondary controls, press and hold down the ON button. While this is on hold, you have access to different parameters.

If you’d like to save the secondary functions’ settings, press and hold ON+TAP for 3 seconds. The LEDs will flash, indicating that this state is saved and the next
