I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

EFFECTS
Phaser
Vintage Phaser The Vintage Phaser utilizes four all-pass filters. These filters create comb-looking characteristics. When the filtered sound is mixed with the direct sound the �phasing sound� occurs. Smooth Phaser Where the Vintage Phaser utilizes 4 all-pass filters the Smooth Phaser uses an 8 all-pass filter structure. This gives a much smoother and subtle phasing sound.
Vibrato
An effect deriving from minute and rapid variations in pitch. This is the classic expression know from many vocalists.
Chorus
A Chorus/Flanger is basically a short Delay that is modulated by an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). The modulation of the short Delay gives very small variations in pitch. These pitch changes blended with the direct sound gives you the Chorus/Flanger sound. A Chorus effect is typically used as a smoothing effect. Soft Chorus/Lush Chorus The Soft Chorus is ideal for silk-smooth softening of the signal. The Lush Chorus is a better choice for more significant and hearable chorus sounds.
Phaser - controls
DELAY/TIMING knob In the Phaser algorithm the TIMING knob sets the speed of the Phaser. FEEDBACK/DEPTH knob In the Phaser algorithm the FEEDBACK/DEPTH knob sets the depth of the phasing effect.
Tremolo
Hard Tremolo/Swell Tremolo A Tremolo is basically a repeated level change controlled by an LFO. The G-Sharp offers a Hard Tremolo that used a �square� wave-shape and Swell Tremolo that use a �triangular� wave shape. Please see the illustration below. The difference is quite obvious. Listen and enjoy! Hard Tremolo - Square shape
Flange
The basics of the flanging sound are identical to the chorus (see above), but the delay time is longer and the feedback control has a wider range. Where the chorus typically is used as a smoothing effect the Flanger is more in the genre of �special effects�.
Swell Tremolo - Triangular shape
Tremolo - controls
DELAY/TIMING knob In the Tremolo algorithm the TIMING knob sets the speed of the Tremolo. FEEDBACK/DEPTH knob In the Tremolo algorithm the FEEDBACK/DEPTH knob sets the depth of the Tremolo effect.
Chorus/Flanger - controls
DELAY/TIMING knob In the Chorus/Flanger algorithms the TIMING knob sets the speed of the effect. FEEDBACK/DEPTH knob In the Chorus/Flanger algorithm the FEEDBACK/DEPTH knob sets the depth of the effect. 23
