OUTPUT( L(MONO)-OUT-R) Terminal

DEPTH LEFT and DEPTH CENTER knobs.

the DEPTH LEFT, DEPTH CENTER, and DEPTH 
RIGHT knobs.

The MANUAL LED above the MODE switch illuminates when the TRI AVATAR is operating in Manual mode. 
In Manual mode, chorus sound is set by the position of each knob. When an expression pedal is connected 
to the EXP terminal, the setting defined by the RATE or TONE knob’s position is disabled and the parameter 
can be controlled from the expression pedal.

The TRI AVATAR has presets numbered from 1 to 128 and they can be recalled in two ways. Presets 1–4 
can be recalled by the operation on the TRI AVATAR alone and presets 1–128 can be recalled via MIDI.

NOTE

In Preset mode, turning each knob does not change the chorus sound. The TRI AVATAR outputs the preset chorus 

sound. If an expression pedal is connected to the EXP terminal, the RATE or TONE setting stored in the preset is 
disabled and the sound can be controlled via the expression pedal.
