5. Press and release the PRESET button corresponding to the envelope
curve you want for Decay. The pressed PRESET button will blink
rapidly to indicate that the envelope curve has been selected.
When saving presets, each preset saves its own envelope shapes for the
Attack and Decay portions of the envelope.
ATTACK DECAY TIPS & TRICKS
In the Beginning or Near It
 We recommend you place the Attack Decay near the beginning of
your pedal chain for the automatic pluck detect to work correctly. It
should be fine after a compressor or pitch shifter but best to go
before distortions and wahs.
It Might Get Loud or Quiet
 Due to the nature of amplitude effects such as those found in the
Attack Decay, it is possible to experience a wide range of output
volumes as you dial-in sounds and get a feel for the pedal. Some
settings will be too quiet and others too loud. The Attack Decay’s
output volume control has a good deal of gain on tap to help find
the right volume balance between effect and bypass.
 The extra gain of the volume control also means the Attack Decay
might clip more easily than expected. If this happens, turning down
the VOL knob should remove the clipping in most circumstances.
 The Harmonix fuzz can get loud. We recommend starting with lower
volume settings on the H.VOL knob until you get a feel for the fuzz.
Mono Mode Playing
 In mono mode, if notes are allowed to ring out, it will have trouble
consistently sensing new plucks. We recommend you don’t allow old
notes to ring out as you play new notes.
 The Attack Decay can handle chords while in mono mode. The entire
chord will go through a single volume envelope.
 Tremolo, or Continuous Envelope mode, is a retriggable tremolo
effect. Whenever a new pluck is detected, the tremolo waveform
starts over, first running through the Attack envelope then Decay.
 While in tremolo mode, set the SENS knob to its minimum position
for a free-running, non-retriggable tremolo effect.
