4. DryBell Guitar Effects Vibe Machine V 1 from serial No 703 User s manual ENG rev 3 11 2013 ae Vibe Machine Thank you for purchasing the Vibe Machine V 1 pedal from DryBell The Vibe Machine is a top quality Uni Vibe type pedal developed to the highest standards It was designed with discrete transistors just like the classic Uni Vibe but made with small electronic SMD technology Its reduced size makes it perfect for a smaller pedalboard Currently 2013 Vibe Machine is the smallest vibe pedal in the world with all original Uni Vibe options and more Enjoy INTENSITY pot 1 Controls the depth and the character of the chorus vibe or vibrato sound and it defines the strength and dynamic of the pulsing nature of the effect A more pronounced pulsing feel starts from around the 2 o clock position and onwards The contour of the intensity knob is custom designed to enable a quick and easy set up of different vibe sounds SPEED pot 2 The speed knob adjusts the speed pulsations of the vibe chorus or vibrato sound Its size and placement also makes foot control possible VOLUME side trimmer 3 This trimmer adjusts the level of the output signal At minimal setting the volume is reduced by 4dB and the maximum setting gives a slight boost to input signal So find your preferred effect volume and leave it In bypass this trimmer has no effect To set it please use a small plastic screwdriver VIBRATO CHORUS switch 4 This toggle swit
