classical sounds with any instrument plugged in.
PITCH MODULATION (P.M.) - This position gives the most

system.
CHORUS - This is the standard chorus mode, useful for any
instrument and type of sound.
INDICATOR LED
Indicates dynamically the speed of the chorus, controlled by the Rate knob.
This LED should light when the pedal in switched on. When this LED stops
lighting you should replace battery as soon as possible.
