-SHAPE SHIFTER-

STEREO TREMOLO

USER’S GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of the Seymour Duncan ShapeShifter Stereo Tremolo Pedal.

The ShapeShifter Stereo Tremolo Pedal has a true analog signal path but incorporates a digital

processor for tempo control and adjustable wave and shape options. We feel this combination

provides the widest pallete of tremolo effects ever offered in a pedal while retaining all of the

tonal benefits that high quality analog circuitry can bring. True stereo inputs and outputs

allow the ShapeShifter to be used in a wide variety of live and studio applications. While primarily

intended for electric guitar, the ShapeShifter can produce excellent results when used with

keyboards, acoustic guitar and many other musical instruments.

In addition to a great variety of tone options, the Seymour Duncan ShapeShifter Stereo Tremolo

Pedal has been outfitted with a versatile tap tempo system that combines a footswitch and a

special Rate/Ratio toggle switch. You will also find a Phase control that allows you to set the

timing between the pulsing of the two stereo channels and a lighted, flashing speed knob which

indicates the tempo.

HOW IT WORKS

Depth – Sets the blend between your dry signal and the wet tremolo signal. This control

allows you to set the mix from fully dry to fully wet, varying the effect from subtle shimmers

to rhythmic pulses to complete freak out sounds.

Wave – This variable control allows you to continuously

blend between three different types of tremolo, from a

smooth sine wave found in vintage amps, to a choppier

triangle wave, to an abrupt on/off pulsing square wave.

Speed – There are two ways to control the rate

of the tremolo effect.

• The first is by directly rotating the Speed control.

In this mode, the Rate/Ratio switch

(see

5on next page) should be set to “Rate” mode.

• The second is by using the Tap Tempo footswitch

to tap in a tempo. When using the tap footswitch,

the Rate/Ratio switch can be set in either position.

See

5on next page, for a description of what this

switch does.

Shape – Adjusts the rise and fall time of the tremolo

resulting in subtle changes where the volume

increases and decreases in the tremolo signal.

It is possible to continuously blend between

three distinct shapes, as shown:

11 10

Rate/Ratio Toggle Switch – This mini-toggle switch selects between two modes of

operation for the Speed control.

• When in “Rate” mode, the control continuously varies the tempo from 0.5 pulses-per-second

to over 15 pulses-per-second. When tapping in this mode, the tempo is entered directly in

time with your tapping.

• When in “Ratio” mode, by rotating the Speed control, you are able to select between

four multiplication factors: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 This mode is for use only when tapping

in a tempo using the Tap Footswitch and is used to multiply the rate off your tapping

to a faster tempo.

Channel Phase - Continuously adjusts the phase between left and right output channels

from 0 degrees to 180 degrees. This will only be noticeable when using stereo output.

Three examples of phase relationships are shown here:

Status LED – Indicates when the ShapeShifter is active. LED is on when the unit is engaged,

off when in true bypass mode.

True Bypass Footswitch - Removes the circuit from your guitar’s signal via a hardwired

connection from the input jack to the output jack.

Tap Tempo Footswitch - Controls the timing of the tremolo, and can be used in conjunction

with the Rate / Ratio switch (see 5above).

Stereo Input Jacks - Plug in any instrument, stereo or mono.

Stereo Output Jacks – Run cable or cables to any amp, other pedal or recording system in

either stereo or mono.

Power Jack - You can use any 9 - 18 Vdc regulated DC adapter (negative polarity center terminal).

Access internal 9V battery by removing (4) screws on underside of pedal. (Battery not included)

When the pedal is not in use, save your battery life by removing your instrument cable from

the Input jack.

LET’S GET STARTED!

1. Plug in a 9 -18 Vdc regulated DC power supply with a negative polarity center terminal.

2. Run good quality shielded guitar cables from your guitar to the input jack or from another

stereo pedal’s output jacks, and from the output jack or jacks to your amp’s input or to the

next pedal on your pedal board or next item in the chain.

3. Start with the Wave, Shape, Depth and Speed knobs at 12 o’clock and

the Channel Phase switch in the middle. Set your amp level appropriately.

4. Engage the ShapeShifter by pressing the True Bypass footswitch.

The LED will Light up Blue when it’s active.

5. Have fun experimenting!

SAMPLE SETTINGS

The ShapeShifter Stereo Tremolo can produce a dizzying array of effects from subtle shimmer

to helicopter assault. These settings are just a few examples of what this unit can do.

(All settings with toggle in Rate Mode).

Classic American Trem

To achieve the lush, vibrant tremolo found on classic American

amplifiers, try starting with these settings.

Classic British Trem

British tube amps put their own spin on tremolo and the results

have fueled many timeless hit songs. Here’s where you can get

a touch of that UK Magic.

Fluttering Shimmer

These settings give a cool, warbling quality to single-note lines

reminiscent of organs and vibraphones.

Helicopter Chop

This is a more radical version of tremolo that produces an on/off

stutter to really drive your sound into madness.
