SLAMMI PLUS

Polyphonic Pitch-Shifter/Harmony Pedal

Thank you for your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Slammi Plus. The Slammi

Plus polyphonically transposes the pitch of your instrument by various selectable

intervals over a +/-3 octave range. In addition to standard musical intervals, you

can also create a rich detune effect in which the harmonies are only slightly set

apart. You can set the pitch-bend upwards, downwards, or even up and down at

the same time, and then blend in your dry sound to create pitch-shifted harmonies.

Switch to the cross-fade (X-FADE) mode to sweep between the dry signal and

the fixed transposed pitch. Then use the BLEND knob to create the perfect mix

between the dry and transposed notes. Spanning a range from conventional

sounding whammy bar effects to otherworldly harmonically pitch-shifted bends,

the depth and flexibility of the Slammi Plus will expand your sonic arsenal.

NOTES AND SPECIFICATIONS

 The Slammi Plus utilizes a high quality, buffered bypass.

 Input Impedance: 2M

 Nominal Output Impedance: 750

 Current draw: 24mA

GETTING STARTED

Connect your instrument to the INPUT jack and connect your amplifier to the

OUTPUT jack. Toggle between buffered bypass and effect mode by firmly

pushing the Slammi Plus pedal downward, in the toe direction, until you hear/feel

the footswitch click. The Slammi Plus does not provide a visual indication that it is

in either effect or bypass mode or that it is powered up. The Slammi Plus always

powers up in bypass mode.

While in effect mode, rock your foot back and forth on the pedal to achieve

various pitch-bend or cross-fade effects, depending on the setting of the knobs

and switches. Refer to the bottom of the pedal for a quick printed reference to

the function of each knob and switch, or see CONTROLS and CONNECTIONS

on the next page for complete details. The knob and switch settings are highly

dependent on each other, so take your time to learn how they interact.

Besides sweeping the pedal continuously, you can use the Slammi Plus to create

pleasing fixed settings at certain spots along the pedal’s sweep. Listen to the pitch

intervals or cross-fade mixes as you rock the pedal. When you hit just the right

spot, carefully remove your foot from the pedal so that the sound remains fixed.
