THE PEDALS
Your SOULMATE board contains 5 separate effects, all turned on and off using the
numbered footswitches on the board. From left to right, the effects are:
OVERDRIVE – A creamy overdrive pedal with 4 controls. The OVERDRIVE knob
controls the amount of overdrive, while the BLEND knob lets you mix clean tone in
with your overdrive. The TONE knob lets you adjust your tone, and LEVEL controls the
effect’s overall volume.
DISTORTION – DISTORTION is heavier or “fuzzier” than OVERDRIVE, but the controls
are similar. DISTORTION controls the amount of distorted sound, TONE lets you adjust
your tone, and LEVEL controls the effect’s overall volume. Instead of the OVERDRIVE’s
BLEND knob, DISTORTION gives you a PRESENCE control that can add an nice high-
end bite to your sound.
DELAY – A beautiful sounding “echo” effect, DELAY gives you everything from a rocka-
billy slap-back to a space rock freak-out, plus a great CHORUS effect. The DELAY knob
controls the strength of the “echo”, while FEEDBACK determines how many repetitions
you get. The TIME knob controls how fast the repeats come, and CHORUS adds a gor-
geous lilt to your delay repetitions, while keeping your initial attack clean.
In the right-hand section of your SOULMATE board, the TAP/TUNE footswitch is also
part of your DELAY effect. TAP to the rhythm of the song you’re playing, and your
DELAY’s TIME setting will sync with the beat.
REVERB – REVERB gives you that live sound you normally only get playing in a larger
room. The REVERB knob controls the volume of your reverberations, DECAY controls
how long they last, and TONE controls their overall tone. The MODE knob helps you
get started by selecting a choice of 4 basic “room type” settings.
BOOST – To give you a shot of extra volume when you need it, the adjustable BOOST
effect delivers from 0 to 14dBs of extra volume. By adjusting the BOOST knob on the
back of the unit, you can preset the amount of boost you’d like the pedal to deliver.
TUNER MODE
In the right-hand section of your SOULMATE board, you’ll find some additional con-
trols. The first of these (in the top left of this section of the board) is the TAP/TUNE
footswitch.
As described under DELAY, the TAP/TUNE footswitch is where you tap along if you
want to match your delay time to the beat of the song you’re playing.
But, if you hold the footswitch down, your SOULMATE enters TUNER mode. In this
mode, the board is muted and the TUNER at the top of right of the pedal is activated.
To exit tuning mode, hit any button.
