stereo powerglide

two-speed, stereo in/out analog tremolo

•  The stereo powerglide is a two channel, two speed design.  It is NOT two separate tremolo 

pedals in one box. 

•  The stereo powerglide may be operated three ways: 

1.  Mono In / Mono Out  
2.  Mono In / Stereo Out 
3.  Stereo In / Stereo Out 

•  The stereo powerglide features two separate foot-switchable signal channels (A and B).  Both 

channels may be switched “on” or bypassed at the same time (the foot-switches are positioned 
to accommodate this).  Or, they may be switched “on” or bypassed independently.  

•  Hardwired, True-Bypass switching is featured for both channels A and B.  Each channel 

features a separate “on” indicator LED (Red).

•  The stereo powerglide features two independent foot-switchable speeds featuring glitchless 

switching between Speed 1 and Speed 2.

•  Individual Speed 1 and Speed 2 indicator LEDs (Yellow and Green) flash in time to the speed 

selected, even when the pedal is in the bypass mode.  LEDs flash “on” in time with the volume 
swell to allow easy 

playing in time

 to slow-speed tremolo settings.

•  The main input, Channel A, features individual Depth knobs for each Speed.  Depth knob 1A 

is for Speed 1.  Depth knob 2A is for Speed 2.  For example, you may desire a slow, but very 

deep

 Speed 1 setting.  To achieve this, set Speed 1 (yellow LED) to taste, and set Depth knob 

1A to 5:00 (max depth).  You may also desire a fast, but 

soft

 warble for Speed 2, To achieve 

this, set Speed 2 (green LED) to taste, and set Depth knob 2A to 12:00.  The individual Depth 
knobs provide the ability to have great contrast in depth between the two speed settings, or 
both Depth knobs may be set the same for two different speeds with the same depth.   

•  The second input, Channel B, features a single Depth knob B for both Speed 1 and Speed 2. 

This simplifies stereo operation and set-up, while still offering great contrast to Channel A’s dual 
Depth knobs.  Note:  For stereo-panning, initially set all Depth knobs for max depth (5:00), then 
adjust to taste.  

•  Depth knobs (1A, 2A and B) offer the complete range from dry-only (full counter-clockwise 7:00) 

to volume swell followed by complete silence, at max depth (full clockwise 5:00), 

•  Individual channel Volume knobs (Vol A and Vol B) allow matching the bypassed volume at 

any tremolo depth setting, or can provide significant volume swell over unity gain.  Note:  The 
stereo powerglide cannot be used as a simple volume boost with the 

Depth knob(s) at minimum 

(7:00).
