Where vintage meets modern, The Depths V2 Analog Optical Vibe Machine Pedal is our innovative interpretation of the classic optical vibe circuit. It offers the same lush, pulsating, three-dimensional swirling sound that musicians have come to adore, but with a contemporary twist. This versatile pedal is designed to be compatible with a wide array of instruments and pickups, and it's engineered to perform seamlessly with distortion, ensuring no musician is left behind. Simply plug into its 1/4" output and dive into the deep, mesmerizing tones it produces.The Depths V2 comes with a range of controls that allow you to fine-tune your sound. The Intensity control lets you adjust the overall effect from subtle, classic vibes when turned counterclockwise from noon, to more drastic and intense sounds when turned clockwise. The Voice control dials in the overall sound, allowing you to create a fuller sound with more lows when turned clockwise, or a thinner, more midrange-focused tone when dialed back.The Rate control adjusts the speed of the effect, from slow when turned counterclockwise, to fast when turned clockwise. The Level control adjusts the volume of the effect, with unity around 1 o'clock and everything above that boosting the volume. The Throb control adds a low-end pulse, which becomes more evident when using the neck pickup or adding some distortion. Turn it all the way up for more throb, or dial it back for less.This pedal also features Flexi-Switch Technology, a relay-based, true bypass switching style that allows for both momentary and latching style switching. For standard latching operation, simply tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and again to bypass it. For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you want the effect to be active.The Depths V2 Analog Optical Vibe Machine Pedal operates on a standard 9-18 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We recommend using pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies to avoid extra noise caused by ripple or unclean power. Please note, this device should not be run at higher voltages.
