B) TUBE CIRCUITRY:
When driven at higher levels, tubes generate a very soft and musical brand of distortion. The response of tubes to the level of input signals is highly complex - they compress signals and generate a rich spectrum of overtones.
effect. In Dual Head mode, controls the level of the first simulated head. FEEDBACK: Controls the intensity of feedback and thus the number of repetitions that the delay generates. VINTAGE FACTOR: Simulates the complex sound-shaping effects of magnetic tape recordings and controls their intensity. The more you turn the knob, the more intensely these factors will color the sound. SINGLE HEAD TIME: In Single Head mode, controls delay time. In Dual Head mode, controls delay time of the first simulated head. DUAL HEAD TIME: Controls the delay time of the second simulated head in Dual Head mode. DUAL HEAD VOLUME: Controls the level of the second simulated head in Dual Head mode.
2. JACKS AND CONTROL FEATURES
2.1. CABLE CONNECTIONS
NOTE: The best point in the signal chain at which to connect the REPLEX to your amp is immediately before it. While it is theoretically possible to insert the REPLEX into a post-preamp effects loop, doing so would make little sense in tonal terms.
INPUT: Plug your guitar into this input jack. OUTPUT: Connect the output jack of the REPLEX to the guitar input jack of your amp.
2.2. KNOBS
DRIVE: Establishes the input impedance (gain) and thereby the degree of tube distortion. SAT: The SAT LED lights up when the tube is driven to its saturation threshold and the signal is just beginning to break up. OUTPUT: Controls the output level of the REPLEX. REVERB VOLUME: Controls the level of the reverb effect. VOLUME: In Single Head mode, controls the level of the delay
2.3. SWITCHES
Note: The pedal�s Reverb and Delay sections operate independently, i.e. you cannot operate both at the same time.
BYPASS: Switches the effect on and off. This is a true hardwire bypass. That is, when the Replex is switched off (green LED off), the signal at the input is routed directly to the output, absolutely unaffected by the internal circuitry. REVERB: Switches the reverb effect off or on.
