electro-harmonix 28689 Good Vibes Analog Modulator User Manual
Analog Modulator
Congratulations on your purchase of the Good Vibes, a re-creation of classic 1960’s era Chorus/Vibrato! This circuit’s original foundation is preserved through the use of photocells and internally-boosted power-rails. The result is anything from wiggly vibrato, to subtle leslie and ultra-lush chorus that is out of this world! True Bypass and LED indication have also been added,along with an expression pedal input for selectable control over speed or intensity.
WARNING:
Your Good Vibes comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply (same as used by Boss® & Ibanez®: 9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The Good Vibes requires up to 45mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Using the wrong adaptor may damage your unit and void the warranty. The Good Vibes does not accept batteries.
VOLUME Knob – controls the output volume. Maximum setting is slightly above unity-gain.SPEED Knob – controls the speed of modulation. As you turn SPEED clockwise, the modulation rate increases. The LED to the left of the SPEED knob flashes at the modulation rate (even in bypass).INTENSITY Knob – allows you to set the depth of modulation sweep. As you turn INTENSITY clockwise, the modulation depth increases.CHORUS-VIBRATO Switch – when this switch is set to Vibrato, the Good Vibes delivers pure pitch-modulation. When this switch is set to Chorus, the Good Vibes delivers a lush, vibe-like chorus.FOOTSWITCH and LED – The Footswitch toggles the Good Vibes between effect and True Bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED is lit.INPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the audio input for the Good Vibes. The input impedance is 500kΩ.OUTPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the effect output for the Good Vibes.
EXP Jack –
This ¼” EXPression jack accepts a TRS expression pedal connector or a Tip-Sleeve 0-5V control voltage input. Some suggested Expression Pedals include: EHX Expression Pedal, M-Audio® EX-P, Roland® EV-5 or Boss® FV-500L. The polarity of the expression pedal’s plug must connect the Sleeve to the heel position, Ring connected to the toe position,and the Tip connected to the wiper. The nominal expression pedal impedance is 10kΩ, but it can accept impedances ranging from 6kΩ – 100kΩ.
EXP SPEED-INTENSITY
Switch – when this switch is set to SPEED, the connected expression source controls the speed of modulation (toe-down is fastest rate). When this switch is set to INTENSITY, the connected expression source controls the modulation depth (toe-down is maximum depth). Furthermore, the panel-knob of the selected function works inconjunction with the expression pedal to set the maximum sweep of the toe down position.
9V Power Jack
– Plug the output of the supplied AC adaptor into the 9V power jack located at the top of the Good Vibes. The Good Vibes draws up to 45mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The Good Vibes accepts Boss® and Ibanez® style AC Adaptors. Please do not exceed 10VDC at the 9V power jack!
