The Gemini VTR is a true
bypass pedal. It features three independent guitar effects housed in one space
saving enclosure. Built like a tank and using the best components available,
this pedal will keep you rocking for many years to come. The first effect in
the signal chain is a true pitch shifting vibrato effect which utilizes an
optically coupled LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) firing two phase shifting
engines to produce warm vibrato effects based on but not limited to the vibrato
features found on old Magnatone amplifiers. The controls include Depth, Speed
and Duty Cycle adjustments as well as a Square Wave/Triangle "V" Wave
switch. With the switch set to square wave, the vibrato has a more prominent
shift in pitch. The vibrato effect becomes smoother with the switch set to
triangle wave. Two internal trimpot adjustments are provided to set the amount
of vibrato volume and vibrato tone. The adjustments are accessible by removing
the bottom cover. Next in the signal chain is a volume attenuating tremolo effect
which utilizes an optically coupled LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). The
controls include Depth, Speed and Duty Cycle adjustments. Two internal trimpot
adjustments are provided to set the amount of tremolo volume and tremolo tone.
Last in the signal chain is analog signal opamp based path/digital tank
simulator designed reverb effect. The signal retains all the nuances of your
playing and the reverb is lush, deep and plays nice with any other effect
including boosts, overdrives, fuzzes and distortions. Two internal trimpot
adjustments are provided to set the amount of reverb volume and reverb tone.
The adjustments are accessible by removing the bottom cover. Finish it all off
with paralleled dual output jacks. Celestial Effects recommends the use of a HIGH
QUALITY 9 VDC regulated power adapter with the Gemini VTR pedal like the Carl
Martin Powerjack 9VDC power supply or similar.
