TREM-O-VERB
Operating Instructions
OVERVIEW:
Congratulations on your choice of the DUAL RECTIFIER TREM-O-VERB. You have purchased a handbuilt instrument of the
finest quality and craftsmanship. A unique blend of yesteryears’ black magic power section design combined with our race-shop
approach to finely tuned, high gain pre-amp circuitry leaves the TREM-O-VERB standing alone...instantly a classic destined for
vintage status. With two channels housing four definitive and distinctly different Modes, a complete array of supremely dialed guitar
sounds can be obtained quickly and easily. Add to this Patented Switchable Rectifiers (Tube/Silicon Diode,) and Channel Cloning
(TM,) a hard Bypassable / Channel Assignable FX Loop, Spongy / Bold A.C. Power, Reverb, Tremolo and you’ve got the most
performance packed, bodacious self contained guitar amp ever. And if all these features don’t tell the truth about the TREM-O-
VERB...how about the on board Bias Switch that enables you to use either 6L6 or EL34 power tubes. Customize this dynamic power
section for the tube style that fits your music best!
Looking to the rear panel assures that all your interfacing needs are covered. A Parallel Effects Loop with a Mix Control provides tone
insurance for even those questionable effects. To use the TREM-O-VERB in larger rack systems, or to interface to other power
sections, the Slave Jack and Level Control is a welcome feature. Three speaker jack combinations have been provided... two 4
Ohm, two 8 Ohm and one 16 Ohm - to ensure the proper impedance match to many types of speaker enclosures. The other features
will prove to be quite valuable to you and further along in this manual they are covered extensively.
