In addition to the classic vibe controls, the Depths features unique controls for Voice and Throb. The Voice control adjusts the mid-range focus of the Depths, which is perfect for tailoring the effect to your particular instrument. Clockwise, you'll hear a fuller sound with a low-end focus. Counter-clockwise, you'll hear a thinner, spikier sound with a forward upper-mid-range bite. The Throb knob adds a hefty sub-harmonic low-end pulse to the vibrato signal, which is especially useful on synthesizers and the bass guitar. It sounds great with a little bit of dirt on the neck pickup of a guitar, too! This works best with the Voice turned counter-clockwise for a warmer tone. The Depths Intensity and Rate controls are dialed in to give you the classic optical vibe sound at more modest settings, but dive in deeper and you'll find anything from a smooth ultra-slow warble to sharp, speedy bursts! Also, the Level control has tons of output above unity on tap to combat the perceived volume loss of most vibe pedals, so your tone is always above water. And, if 9v isn't enough to keep you afloat, the Depths may be powered at 18v for a stiffer tone with more headroom and sparkle.
