WOMBTONE mkII INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW: The sonic experience of the womb, now in pedal form. They just don’t make phasers like they used to.
This analog phaser pedal features an all-analog signal path with smooth, vintage tones that harken back to the 70’s
while retaining the ability to get plenty weird and psychedelic too. Wombtone mkII has a few upgrades, including a
rare mix control that moves from full dry signal to pure phase vibrato as well as the ability to switch between 2, 4,
and 6 stages of phase for all flavors of phase from barely audible to that full, syrupy swirl. Further, every knob and
switch is connected to a little digital brain while your guitar signal stays 100% analog the entire time and never
gets digitally processed. Since the control of the effect is digital, it opens up unprecedented effects and features
that have never been heard or offered in analog stompboxes.
FEED (RAMP): Simply put, this is a magical knob. When you don’t have any dip switches assigned for ramping,
this knob functions as a feedback know to increase resonance and intensity on the phasing effect, it doesn’t affect
the dry signal on the mix control. All the way clockwise is syrupy and intense, and all the way counter-clockwise is
more subtle. This control is very interactive with the how many phase stages are active. Due to the digital control
of this pedal, you can set this knob to control any of the five parameters individually or simultaneously (volume,
mix, rate, depth, form) and have it either modulate or ramp-and-hold (rise or fall) via dip switches in the back of
the pedal. Essentially, this knob controls the ramp time in which this takes place. You can even make a tremolo
effect by choosing to modulate the volume knob.
VOLUME: Sets the level of the effect. This pedal has an internal voltage doubler and a nice boost circuit, so there is
massive boost and head room. Of course, the ramp knob or an expression pedal can control this knob. This control
acts almost as a gain control, and is a little more “sluggish” to respond if controlled by expression.
MIX: Dial this in for 100% wet phase vibrato, 100% dry, or anything in-between. Parking this somewhere in the
middle introduces the classic phase chorusing. It’s really rare for a phaser to have a control that goes from all the
way dry to all the way wet phase vibrato, so we are very pleased with how this turned out.
RPM: This controls the rate of the phase effect – mkII allows very slow rates. Tap tempo overrides this control.
1 – 2 – 4 (3 – 6 – 8) STG: (2 – 4 – 6) Toggle: If the “Stages” dip switch is engaged, this toggle transforms into the
“STG: (2 – 4 – 6)” switch. This allows selection of 2, 4, or 6 phase stages for more subtle or extreme options.
Otherwise, this toggle controls tap divisions. A dip switch in the back of the pedal lets you access the “3 – 6 – 8”
divisions, rather than “1 – 2 – 4” if you so desire. You can also select tap divisions for the RPM or for ramping
parameters dependent on where the “tap control” dip switch is set. Note that divisions are 2x slower for ramping.
DEPTH: This controls the range of the phaser. Crank it clockwise for a very wide frequency spectrum.
FORM: This controls the center point of the modulation. Crank it to counterclockwise, the wave is going to ramp
up quickly and ramp down gradually. If you crank it clockwise, the wave will ramp up gradually and ramp down
quickly. If this knob is straight up and down at 12:00 it will give a perfectly symmetric wave.
Left Wave Shape Toggle: This controls the shape of the first half of the wave modulation. Left for sine, middle for
triangle, and right for square.
Right Wave Shape Toggle: This controls the shape of the second half of the wave modulation. Left for square,
middle for triangle, and right for sine.
The depth, form, and wave shape toggles comprise the ModuShape™ engine, which give unprecedented control over
the shape of your modulation.
