This effect causes your tone to sweep in and out from a somewhat mellow, rolling tone to a more
dynamic, present tone. Sweet Sweep Freeze allows you to stop the sweep anywhere in its cycle
and freeze the tone at a desired spot. This is really cool since it can all be done from the footswitch
once some specific settings are made on the front panel.
1. Pull up a preset with the Flanger or Phaser modulation effect in the patch [or switch
to it with the EFX Select Modulation Switch (28)].
2. Place the footswitch in Effects Select Mode by pressing the EFX Select Mode
Button (25).
3. If the green Modulation LED (on footswitch) is not lit press the Modulation Button (28)
once to select the secondary position. If it is lit move to step 4.
4. Adjust the Depth (15) control on the front panel for the amount of effect you desire.
5. Adjust the Rate (14) control on the front panel to the desired rate or speed.
6. Press the Modulation Button once to turn the LED off and change the effect to its
primary settings.
7. Turn the Depth setting to the same setting as in the secondary mode but turn the
Rate all the way down, effectively turning the sweep off. This leaves the effect
(filter) in the signal path but doesn't allow it to sweep. Put another way, it is frozen.
8. Press the Modulation Button once more to activate it's secondary (sweeping)
setting.
9. You should be able to press the Modulation Button at this time and toggle between
the your desired modulation effect and frozen filter position.
Notice as you play through the Transformer, toggling the modulation effect between primary and
secondary settings, the Sweet Sweep Freeze function freezes the filter at whatever position it was in
the cycle and maintains that tone until you activate the effect again. Upon activating the effect, the
cycle picks back up where it left off.
The Sweet Sweep Freeze effects is especially useful because it allows you to punch in and out of
the modulation effect without hearing the drastic difference in guitar tone that is reminiscent of the
old phaser/flanger effects. Since the guitar stops the sweep and plays the sound that was last heard
there, effectively, is no tone change. In addition, it allows you to wait for a killer tone to come up in
the sweep cycle and then lock on to it immediately. The Transformer will not remember that freeze
point for future recalls of that preset. This is simply a means of freezing a tone within an active
preset. Here's a tip for freezing tones. Before switching the modulation effect off and freezing the
tone, it is easier if the Rate is set to about the 9 o'clock position and the Depth to about the 12
o'clock position. This allows for bigger and longer sweeps, giving you more time to freeze the signal.
Two Steps to Half-Step Tuning
The Transformer also allows you to tune your guitar a half step lower (E ). This E tuning is very
popular and can be easily mastered using this quick function.
1. Press the STORE and USER buttons simultaneously to enter the Tuner Mode.
2. Press the USER button once more to "Transform" the tuner from E tuning to E . (If the
USER LED is lit, the E tuning is already enabled.)
All LED rings (the entire tuner) have been shifted a half step to measure for E tuning. The tuner will
remain in E tuning until you exit and must be put back into E tuning if so desired during the next
tuning session. (Unless you press STORE while in the tuner, which will store your tuner settings.)
