The SYNTHOTRON SYNTHESIZER FILTER SAMPLE HOLD!

My heartiest congratulations to you for purchasing a Red Witch SYNTHOTRON!

The device you are now holding in your hands offers several unique features, which cannot be found anywhere else.

I strongly recommend that you read on to discover the full potential of your new pedal!

Such hours have I labored…. such blood sweat and tears spilt in the creation of this small, wonderful object that

you now hold in your hot little hands. The Synthotron is an all analog (100% pure analog) synthesizer, envelope filter/ sample

hold pedal. The Synthesizer section and the Filter section can be used independently or simultaneously – in essence two

effects in one box – the Synth comes first and the Filter last.

Read on, dear friend, for details of the splendid dials, switches and adjustors that control this temple of Synthesizian Glory!

The Controls

syn footswitch – this turns on the synthesizer section of the pedal – the LED will glow Blue when only the Synthesizer

is activated. It is True bypass.

filter footswitch – this turns on the filter section of the pedal – the LED will glow Red when only the Synthesizer is

activated. It is True bypass.

Simultaneously ……….When both Synthesizer and Filter sections are engaged the LED will glow a beautiful, mesmerizing Purple!

Synth Section Controls

Controls for the Synth section of the pedal are found in the Red, Orange and Light Blue boxes.

Engaging the “SYN” footswitch accesses these controls.

Red Box - the three controls in the Red Box control the first oscillator

Red 8ve Toggle - This determines the pitch of the oscillator note: toggle up = 1 octave above the note being played

toggle down = same pitch as the note being played

Red “Level” - This sets the volume level of the Red oscillator

Red “Decay” - This determines the decay time of the Red oscillator. Counter clockwise for zero decay (staccato) fully

clockwise for a long decay time.

Orange Box - the three controls in the Orange Box control the second oscillator

Orange 8ve Toggle - This determines the pitch of the oscillator note: toggle up = 2 octaves below the note being played

toggle down = 1 octave below the note being played

Orange “Level” - This sets the volume level of the Orange oscillator

Orange “Decay” - This determines the decay time of the Orange oscillator. Counter clockwise for zero decay (staccato) fully

clockwise for a long decay time.

Light Blue Box - Amplitude modulation controls and dry guitar signal level.

“Trem” toggle - turns amplitude modulation on or off. Up = tremolo off. Down = tremolo on.

“Velocity” - Sets the speed of the tremolo

“Dry” - sets the clean, unaffected dry guitar signal – good to blend some of this in with the oscillator voices for

enhanced clarity.
