About the Depths Vibrato

Ahoy! Welcome to your new Depths Optical Vibe Machine! The Depths is our take on the classic optical vibe circuit. Now you can swab the decks with the same lush, pulsating, three-dimensional swirling sound you know and love, with some modern accouterments for all you land-lubbers out there.

Earthquaker Devices The Depths Features:

• Voice: Dials in the overall sound. Turn it clockwise for a fuller sound with more lows, bring it back for a thinner, more midrange focused tone.
• Throb: This controls the low end pulse. It may not be immediately evident on the bridge pickup, but switch to the neck or add some dirt and it comes alive. All the way up for more throb, dial it back for less. Works best when the ‰ÛÏVoice‰۝ is set to a warmer tone.
• Intensity: This controls how subtle or intense the overall effect is. Counter clockwise from noon are the more subtle, classic sounds. Clockwise from noon are the more drastic and intense sounds.
• Rate: Controls the speed of the effect. Counterclockwise for slow, clockwise for fast.
• Level: Controls the volume of the effect. Unity is around 1 O‰۪clock, everything above that is boost.

Introducing "Voice" and "Throb"

In addition to the classic vibe controls, the Depths features unique controls for ‰ÛÏVoice‰۝ and ‰ÛÏThrob.‰۝ The ‰ÛÏVoice‰۝ control adjusts the midrange 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-midrange bite. The ‰ÛÏThrob‰۝ knob adds a hefty subharmonic 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 ‰ÛÏVoice‰۝ turned counter-clockwise for a warmer tone.
