Description

The Bumblebee by VFE is a combination swell and compressor pedal designed to create ambient textures and unique effects. It features a wide attack and decay range, yielding bowed guitar, reverse delay, and slow, synth pad-style effects. The pedal can be blended with the optical compressor for a unique "blooming" effect or used to tighten up tone by isolating the compressor section. It is also suitable for use with bass guitars.

Key Controls:
- LEVEL: Sets the amount of gain in the output section.
- SUSTAIN: Sets the gain/sustain of the optical compressor.
- ATTACK: Sets the speed of the swell effect.
- MIX: Blends between the swell and compressor output sections.
- TRIGGER: Adjusts the sensitivity of the swell effect.
- S-F-M: Sets the range of swells that the ATTACK control can achieve.
- TBASS: Balances the sensitivity of the swell from low to high notes.

Technical Specifications:
- FX Type: Compressor / Swell
- Enclosure Size: 1590B
- Current Draw: 36mA
- DC Supply: 9.42v One Spot
