The Robot is a low fidelity 8 bit pitch transposer with absolutely no feelings what-so-ever. It is completely synthetic and transforms any input into a spuree of resynthesized robot jargon.THE CONTROL KNOB: The control knob is located on the right hand side of the pedal. The knob controls the pitch of the effect in NORMAL, OCTAVE DOWN, and OCTAVE UP modes. When in ARPEGGIATOR mode it adjusts the speed of the arpeggiation.MODES OF OPERATION:NORMAL: Same pitch with 8 bit digital conversion with the CONTROL KNOB fully clockwise. Turning the CONTROL KNOB down bends the pitch down.OCTAVE DOWN: The CONTROL KNOB turned fully clockwise yields a nasty octave down sound. Turning the CONTROL KNOB down bends the pitch further down.OCTAVE UP: The CONTROL KNOB turned fully clockwise yields a nasty octave up sound. Turning the CONTROL KNOB down bends the pitch down.ARPEGGIATOR: The pitch arpeggiates in a sequence. The CONTROL KNOB adjusts the speed of the arpeggiation.If you see this pedal cheaper somewhere else, call us for a better price:(978) 710-8095Or you can contact us by sending us an eCRATER message.International Buyers – Please Note:•Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
