Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Zombie. You will swear your sound gets right up and walks out of your cabinet! With an absolutely monstrously heavy sound, the Zombie creates a rectified asymmetric distortion with user control of the symmetry balance of the distortion output waveform. In essence, this creates the psycho-acoustic 3D sound positioning effect that will make your sound jump out of its cabinet.

ZOMBIE APPLICATIONS: The ZOMBIE is recommended to be used with an ALL TUBE guitar amplifier to deliver rectified distortion.
3. Turn the ZOMBIE on and adjust your BASS and TREBLE to get you close to the desired sound. 4. Now slowly turn the STARE control and notice the change. 5. You may want to adjust the BASS and TREBLE to compensate for this change. NOTE: STARE CONTROL: The STARE Control has a very pronounced and noticeable effect on the perception of the distortion. A little goes a long way. This control actually changes the symmetry of the wave form..... A guitar produces sine waves.
