4. Operating Modes & Controls

The Bass Whammy offers various pitch shifting modes and controls for creative sound manipulation.

4.1 Modusselectie

Gebruik de HARMONY/WHAMMY selector switch to choose between two main categories of effects:

• HARMONY: Adds a harmonized note to your original signal.
• WHAMMY: Shifts your original note up or down by a selected interval.

4.2 Interval Selection

Once a mode is selected, use the rotary knob to choose the specific pitch interval for the effect. Available intervals include various octaves, 4ths, 5ths, and more. The LEDs next to the intervals indicate the currently selected setting.

4.3 Detune

De SHALLOW DETUNE / DEEP DETUNE switch allows you to apply a subtle or more pronounced detuning effect to your signal, adding chorus-like textures.

4.4 Dive Bomb

De DUIK BOM setting, typically found within the WHAMMY mode, allows for extreme downward pitch shifts, mimicking the sound of a guitar tremolo bar dive.

4.5 Expressiepedaal

The integrated expression pedal controls the pitch shift amount. Moving the pedal from heel to toe smoothly transitions the pitch through the selected interval.

4.6 Bypass Footswitch

7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your Bass Whammy, try the following steps:

• Geen geluid: Check all cable connections (input, output, power). Ensure the power supply is working and correctly connected. Verify your instrument and amplifier are functioning.
• Poor Pitch Tracking: Ensure your instrument's intonation is correct. Try adjusting your playing dynamics.
• Ongewenst geluid: Check for faulty cables. Ensure the power supply is stable and free from interference. If using other pedals, isolate the Bass Whammy to determine if it's the source of the noise.
