The effect knob selects the type

of phaser to be used. The effect

knob also allows you to select the

CALIBRATE mode for calibrating the

signals from a Hot Hand sensor. See

the Use with Hot Hand section for

details on calibration.



The frequency knob sets the center

frequency of the phaser sweep. Turn-

ing the knob counterclockwise will

result in the phaser notches moving

over lower frequencies. Turning the

knob clockwise will result in the

phaser notches moving over higher

frequencies. This control is also use-

ful for adjusting the frequency range

to match another instrument such

as a bass guitar or keyboard.

The depth knob is a multi-purpose

control on the Tri-Mod Phaser. It

controls the depth of the effect and

additionally controls the type of

modulation being used. The control

is broken down into two regions. To

the left of the ‘0’ position (12 o’clock)

the effect will be driven using an

envelope follower. Turning the knob

further to the left will increase the

depth of the envelope. To the right

of the ‘0’ position the effect will be

driven using an

LFO. Turning the

knob further to the right will increase

the depth of the

LFO. This way you

can easily switch back and forth

between using the envelope or

LFO to

drive the effect.

Note: If you plug a Hot Hand sensor

in the

SENSOR IN jack both the enve-

lope and

LFO modes will be disabled

and the unit will be put into Hot Hand

Mode. See the Use with Hot Hand sec-

tion for more details.



In envelope mode, the speed knob

controls the attack and decay time

of the envelope with ‘-‘ being the

slowest and ‘+’ being the fastest. In

LFO mode, it controls the speed of

the oscillator again with ‘-‘ being the

slowest and ‘+’ the fastest. In Hot

Hand mode, the knob controls the

response of the motion sensor. See

the Use with Hot Hand section for

more details.

Note: The envelope follower signal

can be reset to zero by a very brief

moment of silence, allowing the next

note played to experience the full

sweep of the envelope all the way

from zero.

The ON/OFF switch engages or dis-

engages the effect. When the effect is

engaged, the

ON/OFF LED will be lit.

The

LED will be off in bypass mode.

The

ON/OFF switch is also used to

start the calibration routine when the

EFFECT knob is set to CALIBRATE.

See the section on Use with Hot Hand

for more details.

Here are some brief descriptions of

the effects included in the Tri-Mod

Phaser. The type of modulation used

to control the effect, either Envelope,

LFO, or Hot Hand, can create dramat-

ically different sounds for the same

effect setting. We encourage you to

experiment with different combina-

tions to nd what you like best.

 A model of one of the oldest

rotating speaker simulators.

2 notches, but one is such low

frequency as to be nearly inaudible.

No resonance.

Standard 2 notch. Some reso-

nance.

Standard 3 notch. No resonance.

Standard 4 notch. Some reso-

nance.

Standard 6 notch. Some reso-

nance.

6 notch, but shifted signal sub-

tracted from input rather than added.

Produces a hollow sort of sound.

No resonance.

2 notch, but 6 peaks. More

resonance.

12 notches. Why? Because we

can. Hollow sound, more resonance.

3 notches, more resonance.

The feedback loop that creates the

resonance peaks has some extra

delay in it, giving a more complicated

frequency response curve, with

more peaks.

6 notches, more resonance.

Longer delay in feedback loop.

12 notches, more resonance,

hollow sound. Very long delay in

feedback loop.

Noise:

Low Power Change batteries or plug in a DC power supply.

Near noise source Move pedal away from power supplies and other

equipment.

Other equipment Remove other effects from signal chain,

see if noise persists.

Bad cables Swap out audio cables.

Low volume:

Low power Change batteries or plug in a DC power supply.

Hot Hand doesn’t work:

Low power Change batteries or plug in a DC power supply.

Not calibrated properly Calibrate the Hot Hand (see Use with Hot Hand).

Not connected Check Hot Hand connections.

Knobs don’t work /light up:

Low power Change batteries or plug in a DC power supply.

Wrong power supply Use correct power supply (see Quick Start).

Corroded input cable plug Check input cable plug for corrosion on sleeve,

swap out cable if necessary.

TRS (stereo) cable used Only use mono cable for input cable.

To power the unit, insert 4 AA batteries (included) or connect a

Source Audio SA150 9 Volt DC power supply to the 9V DC jack (A).

Note: Power supply must be REGULATED, minimum 200mA, and use a

negative tip plug. Use of a non-Source Audio power supply may cause

damage and void the warranty.

Next, plug your guitar (or other instrument) into the jack labeled

GUITAR IN (B) via a standard ¼-inch cable. Connect your amp (or

other audio device) to the GUITAR OUT (C) jack, again with a standard

¼-inch cable. Both input and output are mono signals.

Note: The unit will not power up until a MONO ¼-inch plug is inserted into

the guitar input. This is to conserve power when the unit is running on bat-

teries. Don’t forget to unplug the cable from the input when the unit is not in

use—otherwise the batteries will continue to drain.

To use your Tri-Mod Phaser with a Hot Hand sensor: Connect the

sensor to the SENSOR IN (D) jack and follow any instructions sup-

plied with the sensor. The sensor input works with both wired and

wireless sensors.

• EFFECT selects desired effect type.

• FREQUENCY adjusts the center frequency of the phaser.

• DEPTH controls the depth of the envelope (left of center) or

the depth of the LFO (right of center).

• ON/OFF engages and disengages the effect.
