Frequently Asked Questions
The rate range is well-considered; it's designed to produce usable, musical tremolo speeds, avoiding overly choppy or digital artifacts.
The Wave shape offers subtle variations – a sine wave is smooth, while the square wave provides a more pronounced, choppy tremolo effect.
You can use a standard 9V DC power supply, but ensure it has a coaxial connector with polarity as specified (negative center pin).
