SPECIFICATIONSPOWER 9V DC, 30mA minimum. 2.1mm center-neg-ative connector.INPUT IMPEDANCE very high.OUTPUT IMPEDANCE very low.BYPASS transparent active bypass system with propri-etary electronic switching. No clicks, no pops, will neverbreak.FOOTPRINT 122 mm x 101 mmThe Chromatron is the result of 10 years tweaking, refining and reimagining the state variable filter circuit. It is anoptically-controlled analog filter that can switch between envelope control and manual control via expression pedalwith the push of a button. The envelope detector is an original design, producing a musical filter response that spans abroad range of tones from vintage quack to future-synth psychedelica.TIPS FOR GREAT TONEA good starting point is to put the MIX knob full on, allother knobs at 12 o'clock, RANGE and BAND down,SWEEP up. From there, try turning each knob all the waythrough its range and listen to the way the sound changes.For a classic envelope filter sound, try short attack anddecay times.Another fun setting is slow attack, fast decay and lowresonance, and setting the RANGE switch to the downposition. You can get sort of a slow gear-type sound withthis setting, where each note seems to apprear out of no-where.Octave and/or fuzz -> Chromatron is my favorite com-bination, especially on bass. Use an expression pedal tomodulate the filter cutoff for huge synth-like sweeps.Chromatron -> distortion is great for psychedelic rocktones. The resonant peak of the filter will accentuate thedistortion around cutoff frequency.Distortion -> Chromatron is perfect for dramatic, synth-like filter sweeps. The filter will lop off the high frequen-cies of the distortion as it sweeps down.Chromatron -> delay is great for ambient textures, espe-cially when using an expression pedal to sweep the filter.Delay -> Chromatron is also very cool, as the delay re-peats will be swallowed by the filter. |
